Chinese Authorities Secretly Planning to Sentence Alimujiang Yimiti to Re-education Through Labor
Suspicion of inciting secession and organizing people in stealing, spying, buying and illegally providing state secrets or intelligence to overseas organizations
On May 21, government sources told the mother of imprisoned Uyghur Christian Alimujiang Yimiti that the Kashi Public Security Bureau (PSB) is secretly planning to sentence her son to three years of re-education through labor. Sources say that the PSB's intent in sentencing him is to cover up their error in arresting Alimujiang. The Kashi PSB originally filed the case against Alimujiang, and has the authority to exercise this power independently without approval from the court or other departments.
