China's national media haven't reported on new trials and death sentences related to deadly riots in Xinjiang.
Below is an article published by Radio Free Asia:
A court in China has handed down death sentences to another five people for their alleged roles in deadly ethnic rioting in Urumqi, capital of the far western Xinjiang region, news agencies say.
The new trials, omitted from China’s national media, brings the number of death sentences handed down in connection with the rioting to atleast 22, of which at least nine have already been carried out.
“Altogether 22 defendants in five cases went on trial Dec. 22- 23,” Reuters quoted Hou Hanmin, director of the Xinjiang Government Information Office, as saying.
