Kurban Mamut, an Uyghur refugee, has been held in a deportation center by Montenegro since December 17, 2020.
In December 2020, Kurban, 47, father of three, left Turkey, where many Uyghurs are reported to be covertly deported back to China via Tajikistan, in search of refuge in Europe, as many other Uyghurs have been doing for the past few years.
