Mum and her 2 daughters lost to family for 2 years as China cracks down on Muslim worshippers
A mother, Adiba Hayrat, and her two kids, Ansila Esten and Nursila Esten, have been held against their will in China. The three have not been seen by their family for two years after travelling to China amidst the country's crack down on Muslims.
Hayrat had taken her daughters, 8-year-old Ansila and 7-year-old Nursila, on the trip where she planned to take makeup training classes and visit her parents. She had reportedly left behind her 9-month-old son and husband.
CNN reported that the woman's husband, Esten Erbol, had explained that his wife was detained after she arrived in China.
Erbol had sadly expressed that his son was not one year old when she left and he calls every female figure he see mama.
