Convicted with fabricated charges of leaking state secrets to foreigners, a Muslim convert to Christianity has been condemned to the 15 year maximum prison sentence by the Xinjiang Courts in China.
Alimujiang Yimiti is a Uyghur Christian, who converted from Islam in 1995. He and his wife Gulinuer led a house church ministry in Kashgar, Xinjiang, spreading messages of hope and peace in a region riddled with ethnic conflict and violence. Targeted for his minority faith and ethnicity, Alim has been persecuted unjustly in what his lawyer, Dr. Li Baiguang calls "the worst case of religious persecution in the past decade."

Authorities seized Alimujiang from his home in January 11, 2008, holding him illegally for over one year on unfounded charges of illegally spreading religion in his hometown of Kashgar. Later, the charges were changed to "divulging state secrets to foreign individuals" based on a private conversation the Uyghur Christian pastor held with an American Christian friend.
