Alimujiang, a former Muslim, became a Christian more than 10 years ago and has been an active Christian in the growing Uyghur church. On May 27, Alimujiang\u2019s case went to trial. His case was referred back to the Chinese Public Security Bureau\u2019s prosecutors due to \u201cinsufficient evidence.\u201d He remains in custody. On Aug. 6, 2009, the Kashi District Intermediate Court secretly sentenced Alimujiang to 15 years imprisonment on the charge of \u201cillegally providing state secrets to foreign nationals.\u201d It was not until Oct. 27 that the court in Kashi notified Alimujiang\u2019s wife, Gulinuer, and his lawyer of the sentence. Alimujiang appealed.<\/p>\n

On April 12, 2010, Alimujiang\u2019s wife Gulinuer got a phone call notifing her that Alimujiang had been transferred from Kashi Detention Center to serve his sentence in No. 3 Prison of Xinjiang in Urumqi. In Feb. 2011, the Higher People\u2019s Court of Xinjiang notified Alimujiang, who is serving his sentence, that they upheld the original sentence of 15 years of imprisonment in the reconsideration.<\/p>\n

Wife: Pray for Husband, Kids, Church – June 2014<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A VOM worker recently visited Alimujiang’s wife. Gulinuer and her two children are only allowed to visit Alimujiang for 15 minutes every three months. She told VOM that her husband has lost a lot of weight and looks pale, but he is doing well spiritually. She said he needs prayer for prison life, since he encounters many who are antagonistic.<\/p>\n

She requested prayer for her children, who have suffered during her husband\u2019s long imprisonment. She said her 8-year-old is always dreaming about when his dad gets out. Her oldest son has lost hope and is sad and discouraged.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_custom_heading text=”UPDATE: MAR 2023″ font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23c12c2c” google_fonts=”font_family:Noto%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]With great joy we announce the release from prison of Uyghur Pastor, Alimujiang Yimiti,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>after the completion of his 15-year sentence.
