Uighur Economist Jailed for Life

Recently, the Uighur economist professor at Ethnic University in Beijing was known as a moderate promoting Uighur rights in Xinjiang. When talking to the Uighur on the bus, my friend mentioned this economist in this post a few days ago: http://www.silkroadhitchhikers.com/?p=1667

I wanted to let yall know that he was recently given a life sentence for his moderate activism. This is likely to encourage Uighurs to behave more violently. I am very concerned.
