September 2026 marked the deaths of three documented victims. Renowned archaeologist Abduqeyyum Hoja passed away early in the month, at the age of 85. Musajan Ehmet, a businessman and former television personality from Ghulja, was reported to have died early this month at a prison in Kuytun. Finally, Shi Tingfu, a rights defender from Nanjing, died at the Bingtuan Shahe Prison last week, just months before his scheduled release.
