Twenty questions: game 165

[cdngooner]

Leader of a terrorist or separatist organization?

[Spartaculous]

Is this person believed to be associated with any criminal, terrorist, or treasonist activity?

Leader of a terrorist or separatist organization?

I'll take these as a single question, since they are asking similar things and I was slow on answering them. Not a leader of one of these organizations, but I would say that the internal view of a particular national government is that the person was associated with some kind of "criminal, terrorist, or treasonist activity". (Your view may be different.)

[han-shahanshah]

“was associated”. I think it’s safe to assume our game master believes this person to be dead.

[Hominidae]

Is the "particular national government" mentioned in the previous response located in Eastern or Southeastern Asia based on the UN geoscheme?

Currently alive?
Muslim?

I believe we're counting the two terrorist-related questions as one. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[cdngooner]

I can think of two, so I’ll guess one: Qin Gang.

No.

[Hominidae]

Free guess: Tashpolat Tiyip.

[Spartaculous]

Free guess: Tashpolat Tiyip.

No.

[cdngooner]

Anonymity by ubiquity. There are so many disappeared Chinese dissidents, this will be hard.

[Jamiet99uk]

Ruan Xiaohuan

[Spartaculous]

Ruan Xiaohuan

No.

[Jamiet99uk]

I give up

[Hominidae]

I'll ask another question: is he known for advocating on behalf of an ethnic or religious minority within China?

No.

[Spartaculous]

I will give some New Year's hints.

1) Despite the pessimism in posts #53 and #56, I believe this person to be gettable.

2) I passed on a couple of questions earlier. There were more questions that I was only reasonably certain in my responses to, and not absolutely certain, because I do not know all of the biographical details about this person (but can presume a lot).

[VillageIdiot]

I’m more confused than ever that there’s a former politician with limited biographical information. Now I’m wondering if I’m making a false assumption about what qualifies as a ‘political figure’.
