XINJIANG, CHINA (ANS) -- A court in Kashi Region, Xinjinag Province has given formal notice that the court case against persecuted Uyghur Christian Alimujiang Yimiti will be in session on May 27. China Aid Association (CAA) says the court proceedings will take place using the Uyghur language and will be interpreted into Chinese.  | | Mr. Yimiti's wife, Gulinuer and their two children | CAA says a rumor originating from government officials of Kashi Region, is that a six-year sentence has already been decided internally by the court. Mr. Yimiti's wife Gulinuer and their two children hope the case will be judged justly and will result in Mr. Yimiti's unconditional release. CAA President Bob Fu strongly urges the Xinjiang and Beijing governments to pay close attention to this case and to release Mr. Yimiti immediately in order to improve international relations and human rights within China. CAA also expressed its concern that Mr. Yimiti receive a fair trial within a court system that seems to have predetermined his sentence prior to trial.
