Nurmuhemmet Yasin, 33, is married with two children, and is known for his many poems, essays and short stories, some of which have been translated for use in Uyghur-language middle school textbooks. The publication of his short story "Wild Pigeon" ("Yawa Kepter") in the Uyghur-language Kashgar Literature Journal in November 2004 led to Yasin’s arrest on November 29, 2004. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.hrichina.org/public/contents/44685 " target="blank">www.hrichina.org/public/contents/44685 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
