Mamutjan Abdurehim hasn t been able to see his wife and two children for the past four years.
Information from the Chinese region of Xinjiang, where they are based, is scarce, and Mr Abdurehim told SBS News he fears for the worst.
“I can’t describe properly enough, how much agony it has been and how much I miss my family,” he said.
The family lived abroad in Kuala Lumpur while Mr Abdurehim studied a PHd in sociology and international affairs.
However he became separated from his 33-year-old wife, Muherrem Ablet, and two children, aged 5 and 10, when they were forced to return back to China after Ms Ablet lost her Chinese passport.
