22 get jail for inciting hatred in Kashgar
Print Edition
TWENTY-TWO were jailed by a court in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for conducting illegal religious activities.
The charges read out at Kashgar City People’s Court included inciting ethnic hatred, disrupting social order and rape, and the jail terms were from five to 16 years.
The convicted included the unappointed heads of mosques, as well as imams who continued to hold services after being sacked from their posts.
Kashgar Mayor Enwaer Tursun said after the trial that Xinjiang had been plagued by religious extremism, which had disrupted social order and fed the ideology of terrorism, Xinhua news agency reported.
Xinjiang has been in the spotlight this year as violence has intensified and triggered an increasing number of terrorist attacks.
Hundreds of people, including Uygur and Han civilians, have been killed in a number of incidents.
