Uyghur Extradited from Cambodia Receives 17-Years Prison Sentence
Thursday, January 26, 2012
|
|
Musa Muhamad (Muhemmed), one of the twenty ethnic Uyghurs extradited on 19 December 2009 from Cambodia to China, was sentenced to 17 years in prison last autumn, according to a Radio Free Asia (RFA) article published yesterday. Relatives of 25 year-old Muhamad told RFA that the Kashgar Intermediate Court sentenced him on 20 October 2011 in a closed trial, but that authorities refuse to provide information on the charges against him. The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) condemns this sentence in the harshest possible terms, and fears that the other Uyghurs forcibly returned from Cambodia are suffering the same fate.

However, China’s concerns about the future stability and development of Pakistan will limit the extent to which China will bail Pakistan out of its current economic difficulties, and the degree to which China will seek to drive a wedge between Islamabad and Washington.
