Zeydin Yusup, also known as Zeydin Kari or Ziauddin Yusuf, was the founder and leader of the East Turkestan Islamic Party.

History

Abdul Hameed, Abdul Azeez Makhdoom, and Abdul Hakeem Makhdoom launched the Islamic Party of Turkistan in 1940.[1] After being set free from prison in 1979, Abdul Hakeem instructed Hasan Mahsum and other Uyghurs in fundamentalist Islam.[2] In 1989 Zeydin Yusup started the group which was originally called East Turkistan Islamic Party (ETIP).[1][3] The movement was reshuffled by Hasan Mahsum and Abudukadir Yapuquan in 1997 into its present incarnation.[4][5]

Zeydin Yusup was the mastermind behind the Baren Township riot, otherwise known as the Baren rebellion, in which he led 200 men in Baren, Akto County, in armed conflict against Chinese government forces. The uprising soon spread to nine townships across Kizilsu.[6] He was killed during the Baren Township riot on 6 April 1990.[7]
