  A source with ties to Hotan (in Chinese, Hetian) prefecture recently told RFA’s Uyghur Service that Sampul township head Ablikim Mettursun and Sampul township United Front Work Department employee Memet’eziz Mettohti had been convicted and sent to prison in Hotan’s Keriye (Yutian) county in 2015.
  [...]RFA spoke with a Lop county government employee who said they did not have any information on either Mettursun or Mettohti, and referred further questions to higher-level officials, as well as a staffer with the Lop County Justice Department, who also said they did not know anything about the two men.
  However, when asked whether any cadres from Sampul township had been sent to internment camps, an employee with a legal work unit in Lop county told RFA that “there's no one in the camps, they’re in prison.”
  When asked who had been sent to prison, the employee responded, “Oh, you know, Memet’eziz Mettohti… he worked for the party in Sampul township.”
