Raid on Human Rights Advocate’s Family Signals China’s Transnational War on Faith Kazakh police raided the Almaty home of Batikha Bilaishi, sister of human rights activist Serikzhan Bilash, on June 25. They ransacked the residence and confiscated Qur’ans and other religious books before detaining her. Her daughter Hadisha described the terror of being forced from her bedroom while her mother, suffering severe heart disease, fainted multiple times. Bilash said Beijing is using Kazakh authorities to retaliate against families of those exposing abuses in Xinjiang’s camps, where ethnic Kazakhs face religious persecution. With relatives imprisoned in Xinjiang, the incident illustrates the expansion of transnational repression. The world must increase scrutiny to protect religious freedom advocates and their families. Stand with families targeted for exposing religious oppression in Xinjiang—share their story and demand governments confront transnational repression now.
