Mobs in Xinjiang riot face severe punishment
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-07-07 14:08 URUMQI: A Xinjiang official Tuesday vowed severe punishment for the mob in the "deadliest riot since New China was founded in 1949". Sunday's riot in Urumqi has killed 156 people and injured more than 1,000, the largest number of casualties in any single incident of its kind in six decades. "The rioters violated laws and harmed the fundamental interests of all Chinese ethnic groups," said Li Zhi, Communist Party of China (CPC) chief of Urumqi.
While those under arrest might be released if no serious criminal records were found, Li said authorities would not let pass those who were still at large. |
