Ishahara P.D. took away the innocent and undisclosed person for nine months: the Kazakh poet Belsbek was placed in a black box, and her mother crossed the border to seek help.

It has been almost nine months since the late December 2025, when the Kazakh poet and writer Beersbek Abudzezak was taken away by the Ishihara public security authorities. <a href="https://www.rfa.org/mandarin/shehui/shaoshuminzu/2026/09/21/china-xinjiang-kazakh-imprisoned-writer-belsbek/"target" rel = "nopener noreferrer" data-linked-reference= "true" data-reference-label= "Liber Asia Radio ", reported by Radio Free Asia" on 21 September, that relatives in Kazakhstan still do not know where he is being held and have not received official documents on the charges, progress of the case or judicial proceedings. Her mother, who was almost 80 years old, had to make video recordings and turn to the Government of Kazakhstan for help, in the hope that at least he would know what crimes had been committed and would be heard again.

According to family information, Beirsbek was taken by law enforcement officials at the end of December last year in Ishawar, and his house was subsequently searched and some books and manuscripts were taken. >/a", also reported by ChinaAid, and law enforcement officers, including State security personnel and police, entered their residence that night. The family claimed that it had not been specifically charged and had been informed only that “investigation” was required.

Beelsbek was once allowed to speak to his wife every 10 to 15 days, and then the police went to his house to take his clothes and informed him that they had been transferred to Urumqi. Since then, no specific place of detention has been identified by relatives outside the country. The situation of a person who has been under the control of State authorities for months without the family knowing where he is, on what charges, and whether the case has been brought before the Public Prosecutor ' s Office is in itself a manifestation of the loss of procedural authority at the transparent border.

Article 85 </a" of the Chinese Criminal Procedure Code in force provides that, in principle, after detention by public security organs, family members shall be informed within 24 hours; Even in exceptional cases, such as those involving national security, the relevant exceptions must be applied in accordance with the legal conditions. The claim by the Beersbek family that official documents were still unavailable for nine months means that the outside world cannot even judge which procedure, which regulations and who authorized continued detention were invoked by the public security.

Radio Free Asia also cited local sources who claimed that relatives of Beersbek had been warned not to disclose information to their families abroad and that some local residents were afraid to discuss cases because of fear of pressure. Since these statements are made by anonymous or pseudonyms, more information is needed from the specific implementers; But the fact that they have long been unable to obtain information on the case from their families suggests that the information blockade itself has become an important part of the case.

Born in 1968 in Beersbek, he has long-standing research in Kazakh poetry, literature and folklore, published works such as The Wimp, The Village on the Moon, and received the Kazakhstan Poetry Competition and the Xinjiang “Tienshan” Prize for Literature and Art. The professional technical qualification certificate provided by the family indicated that he had acquired the first degree of literary and creative qualification in

1. A long-standing, open literary creator disappeared for nearly nine months without a public charge and without a public place, creating a chilling effect on the Xinjiang culture and ethnic minority communities that goes well beyond the individual level.

, according to open information from the Ishaharakhsak Autonomous Region Government, the State Public Security Bureau has responsibility for local criminal law enforcement, internal security and public order. However, to date, no official notification of the Beersbek case has been found on the Open Government page. The responsibility is thus clear: since the public security organs take and control persons, it should be possible to explain the legal basis, the place of detention, the stage of the case and the guarantees of fundamental rights, rather than allowing families to congregate the truth outside the country through friends and rumours.

Musabek Ze Azhan, the mother of Beirsbek, is a citizen of Kazakhstan. Instead of seeking special treatment for her son, she is now asking for the most basic information: where he is, what he has committed, whether she has been able to speak to, and whether she has a lawyer. A modern criminal justice system that does not even respond to those questions clearly to the family loses its basic probabilities when it is “lawful”.

The core of the Beersbek case is not whether the outside world judges him guilty or innocent, but whether the State can place a person under compulsory control for a prolonged period of time while leaving his legal status, place of detention and procedural instruments virtually invisible to his family. Nine months of silence have become the most serious fact of the case itself.
