Daughter of Chinese Uyghur prisoner makes emotional plea to Trump during spotlight Xi summit
Summary
Ziba Murat is urging President Donald Trump to ask Chinese President Xi Jinping to grant clemency to her mother, Dr. Gulshan—also spelled Gulshar—Abbas, a Uyghur retired doctor imprisoned in China since her 2018 disappearance. Chinese officials reportedly sentenced Abbas to 20 years for terrorism-related offenses, which her family says were fabricated and retaliation for her sister’s Uyghur advocacy. The appeal comes during a high-profile Trump-Xi summit. A White House official also said Trump may request the release of another American prisoner, Dr. Youlin Chen.
