goes public. She received threats to be „cut into pieces“, her husband was lured to Dubai by Chinese state security, told to spy on her.According to both newspapers, Abdulaheb had received the documents electronically in June, and tweeted the screenshot of one of the pages shortly afterward. Adrian Zenz, a leading Xinjiang researcher, and another expert on the region later contacted her and put her in touch with a journalist, The Times reported.
Abdulaheb said she and her family have been receiving threats online and in real life since June, shortly after she posted the tweets, the newspapers reported. She has an ex-husband — a fellow Uighur exile and naturalized Dutch citizen — and two young children in the Netherlands. In early September, an old Xinjiang friend of her ex-husband, Jasur Abibula, contacted him out of the blue and invited him on a trip to Dubai for free. Abibula was met by his friend and several Han Chinese security officials. Han is the dominant ethnic group of China.
She is making public her involvement in the leaks to protect her family, both newspapers said. Any new threats or attacks on her „will become a new story,“ Zenz told The Times.
