MIDLAND, TEXAS - Alimujiang Yimiti has served just more than five months since he was issued his latest sentence. He still has more than 175 months remaining.
The 35-year-old Uyghur house-church leader in China was first imprisoned more than two years ago and has since been charged with "revealing state secrets," said President of Midland-based ChinaAid Association Bob Fu.
The formal allegation came after Alimujiang shared with an American businessman a conversation he'd also had with a Chinese official about what caused him to convert from his Muslim faith to Christianity.
"This is one of the most serious cases," Fu said. "Even according to basic Chinese law he is totally innocent."
