Uyghur Family Fortunes

Millions of dollars of assets, mysteriously vanished together with the Uyghurs who owned them, have just as mysteriously reappeared on China’s equivalent of eBay.

When Bitter Winter interviewed Istanbul-based Omerjan Hamdullah in April 2020, he had recently heard, via the Diaspora grapevine, that his property mogul brothers, Rozi Haji, 43, and Memet, 37, co-owners of Xinjiang Ruzi Haji Ltd., a shipment company, and the Korla Chilanbagh Real Estate Development Company, had been sentenced in secret trials to 25 and 15 years for “unspecified crimes,” and their multi-million dollar property empire seized by the CCP.

A recent report by the Uyghur Human Rights Project, Under the Gavel, has unveiled cases involving 55 individuals, including the Hamdullah brothers, and many as yet unreported cases, whose combined assets ranging from home appliances to real estate and company shares, total at least $84.8 million.
