The Report looks at the trial of Uyghur scholar Ilham Tohti who was put on trial today by the Chinese government for inciting separatism in the Western Xinjiang Province. The move comes after Tohti had been imprisoned in a Chinese jail almost 8 months. He has reportedly been put in leg chains and been deprived of food. The announcement of this trial comes following a growing number of domestic attacks in China, reportedly by Uyghur separatists. Joining John Rees to discuss this are Dr Enver Tohti Bugda, an independent researcher; and Dr Rod Wye, Associate Fellow of the Asia Programme at Chatham House.
