Five men in Xinjiang have been sentenced to long prison terms. Their „crime“: They all knew the former employee of the US radio station Voice of America (VOA), Kasim Kashgar, who fled his home country to the USA in 2017. As Radio Free Asia reported, Mirkamil Ahmed, Semet Ababekri, Abdukadir Rozi, Mehmut Abdukeyum and Akber Osman have now each been sentenced to at least seven years in prison. Kashgar discovered this in May after the Uyghurs had already been arrested three years ago.
