While the center of the conflict broke out in Lukqun, Uighur has 30 thousand inhabitants or 90 percent. They are the majority of Muslims, which is why various methods are used to prevent any religious activity deemed capable of damaging national stability.

"Imprisonment these people, who were forcibly deported from their refuge, should serve as a wake-up call to the world about the brutal treatment of the Uighurs seeking asylum," Uighur American Association president Alim Seytoff said in a statement posted on the website The advocacy group.

Back in December 2009, 18 Muslim Uighurs seeking asylum in Cambodia, China deported at the request of the Cambodian government after ignoring objections from the United States and international rights groups.

Under stressful circumstances, a court in the western Xinjiang region sentenced Nurahmet Kudret, 35 years old and Islam Urayim, 32, to life in prison. Relatives of the men told the Uighur American Association and the US-based radio, Free Asia.

The men were serving their sentences in separate prisons in the capital, Urumqi, after they were convicted of crimes that are not known, the broadcaster said.

A third man, Mohammed Musa, 25, was sentenced to 17 years in October by a court in Kashgar city of Xinjiang, he said.

The three men were among a group of 20 people who sought asylum in Cambodia at the outbreak of riots between Uighurs and majority Han Chinese in the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi in July 2009.

Citing rights groups, Radio Free Asia said the asylum seekers had fled persecution because they had witnessed Chinese security forces arresting and using lethal force against Uighur demonstrators during the riots in July 2009.

Xinjiang capital, Urumqi, is a bloody eruption of violence targeting the Muslim Uighurs in July 2009. In the following days, the mass of angry Han took to the streets to hurt Muslim Uighurs in China's worst ethnic violence in decades.

Unrest left nearly 200 people dead and 1,700 injured, according to government figures. But Uighurs, a Turkish-speaking Muslim minority, say the toll is much higher and mainly from their community.

China and Cambodia have long maintained close relations, as China provided large amounts of aid to the impoverished Southeast Asian nation.

Two days after Cambodia deported the Muslim Uighurs in December 2009, Chinese Vice President Xi visited Phnom Penh and signed 14 trade deals worth $ 850 million.

The Cambodian government has denied that the deportation was linked to the announcement of the Chinese loan of 1.2 billion dollars.

Based World Uighur Congress in Munich last year said that the Asian countries has repatriated at least 180 Uighurs to China since 2001.

Xinjiang and its Uighur people, a Turkish-speaking minority, a population of over eight million, continues to be the target of safety crackdown massive.

Muslims accuse the government put millions of ethnic Han in their territory with the ultimate goal of obliterating its identity and culture.

Beijing views the vast region of Xinjiang as an invaluable asset because of its strategic location, close to Central Asia and the importance of oil and gas reserves are large.
