A prominent Uyghur academic has been reportedly jailed for life by China for “endangering state security”.
Professor Rahile Dawut is an expert on Uyghur folklore and traditions and had been teaching at Xinjiang University College of Humanities before her arrest.
The 57-year-old lost her appeal last month.
China denies allegations of crimes against humanity towards the Uyghur population located in northwest China.
