Persecuted Uyghur Christians

Greetings! I am Alimjan Yimit's wife, Gülnur. Alimjan, by God's sovereign grace met the Lord, receiving Jesus as his savior in 1995 and becoming one of the very few Christians among Xinjiang's 12 million Muslim-background Uyghurs. In September 2007, the Kashgar, Xinjiang Ministry of Ethnic and Religious Affairs issued a notice accusing Alimjan of spreading Christianity in the Kashgar area. On January 11, 2008 he was arrested by the Kashgar Public Security Bureau (police). He remained incarcerated and his case left up in the air for almost two years until on November 25, 2009, the Kashgar Intermediate Court harshly sentenced him on a made-up charge to 15 years in prison and 5 years deprivation of his political rights.
