death sentences by China

Taipei Times - archives: "Three of the death sentences were suspended for two years, after which such sentences are normally commuted to life in prison, subject to good behavior.

Three more defendants were sentenced to life in prison while the other five were also given long prison terms, Xinhua news agency reported from Urumqi.

Exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer condemned the earlier death sentences, passed on Monday against six Uighurs, as politically motivated and said they were likely to “further enrage” Uighurs, who have long complained of discrimination."
