ロイター報道によると、すでに懲役15年の判決が出たらしい。審理の早さといい、刑の重さといい、ちょっと常識では考えがたい。日本のメディアは報じないのだろうか。

(Reuters) - A Chinese court in the restive western region of Xinjiang has given a Uighur journalist and website manager 15 years in jail for endangering state security by speaking to foreign journalists, his employer said on Friday.

The sentence is unusually long for someone who has a low international profile and apparently did not face charges of separatism or violent extremism. China says it faces a threat from radical groups fighting for Xinjiang independence.

When well-known dissident Liu Xiaobo was given an 11-year sentence for subversion last Christmas Day, rights groups roundly condemned that as harsh.
