China sentences 4 Uighur men to death over attacks

None

Four ethnic minority men have been sentenced to death in China's restive far west for their role in deadly attacks the government has branded organized terrorism but which an activist says were violent acts by desperate people.

 

The sentences are the first tied to the July violence that left dozens dead in the far western region of Xinjiang. The four were sentenced to death Tuesday by courts in Hotan and Kashgar, the cities where the attacks occurred, the China Daily newspaper said Thursday. (AP)
