Former head of Xinjiang Nur Bekri used his position to live 'extravagantly' and benefit himself and his family, buying luxury cars and doling out favours to others.

One of China's highest-ranking Uighur officials and the former head of the troubled northwest Xinjiang region was sentenced Monday to life in prison over graft charges, a court said.
