Four of the women are housewives and one is a civil servant.The verdict issued on April 2, 2019, indicates that the charges against them were brought by the Korla Municipal Procuratorate.The women were convicted by the court of "disturbing public order and inciting ethnic hatred" for "hearing and providing a venue for illegal religious preaching," RFA reported citing a copy of the verdict."We were all relatives," said Halchigul Memet, mentioned in the verdict as having led the five women during the religious gatherings. Memet confirmed to RFA that she was related to the five imprisoned women."I mean they were all direct relatives, and I was like a relative to them and them to me," said Memet from Turkey."We used to go to each household regularly on a weekly or biweekly basis," said Memet emphasizing that they never had political or anti-government talks. "We only talked about how to improve our well-being and our family's well-being and how to be traditionally good Muslims," she added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
