The trial of Alimujiang Yimiti, a Uygur Christian who was arrested on January 12 and accused of "endangering national security," (click here for more details) has been delayed, according to a May 8 report from China Aid Association. Yimiti's trial was scheduled for early April but is now set to begin in approximately two to three weeks. The delay was partly due to the need to translate court documents, which are written in Uygur, for the Han Chinese authorities handling the case.
