Award-winning academic, researcher, and professor at Minzu and Xinjiang Universities, Habibullah is serving a 15-year sentence for unknown charges. His arrest and imprisonment are suspected to be tied to the Chinese crusade on Uyghur intellectuals, as his area of expertise and published works focused on Uyghur culture and language. Habibullah was arrested upon his return from Germany, after completing his graduate studies in 2014. His current wellbeing cannot be verfied.
