| China hands down death sentences for rioters |
| 2009-10-13 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] A Chinese court has handed death sentences for six people, convicted of murder and other crimes during ethnic rioting in July. It was the first trial held for the July 5th riots, which left nearly 200 people dead and more than 1,600 injured in Urumqi, the capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. However, it is not clear if any of the death sentences will be commuted. The court also sentenced a seventh person to imprisonment for life. Members of the Uighur minority went on a rampage during attacks directed at members of China's dominant Han ethnic group. The Ulghurs, a majority in their own region, complained of being discriminated against by the Hans. Nearly, 14,000 security forces were deployed in the city on Sunday to begin 24-hour patrols ahead of the trial, said China National Radio. |

| #2 A lot of countries in this world are going to have to give up the idea that such-and-such a place "belonged" to them a thousand years ago, so they should now, too. What counts is possession. Trying to take such territory "back" is an act of war, regardless of how it's done (understand, "Palestinians", Mexicans, Chinese, Koreans, RUSSIANS?). People who engage in aggressive war for the purpose of "regaining" lost territory should be dealt with as harshly as possible by the resisting forces. Israel has been extremely lacking in that regard, trying to "appease" the West. Screw it - stomp "Palestine" into the Israeli soil. |
