Airport bomber’s jail appeal accepted
Print Edition
A BEIJING court yesterday accepted Ji Zhongxing’s appeal after he was sentenced earlier this month to six years in jail for setting off explosives at Beijing Capital International Airport in July.
The Beijing Municipal No. 3 Intermediate People’s Court said it has accepted Ji’s plea after reviewing his case.
Ji, a 33-year-old wheelchair-bound man, was jailed for causing an explosion in a public place, according to the first-instance ruling by the Chaoyang District People’s Court on October 15.
A native of east China’s Shandong Province, he set off a homemade explosive device outside the airport’s Terminal 3 arrivals exit on July 20, severely injuring himself and a police officer at the scene.
Ji worked in southern Guangdong Province. For 10 years, he has been petitioning about alleged unjust treatment that resulted in his paralysis, according to a police investigation.
According to the law, anyone who causes an explosion or uses other means to endanger public security without causing serious consequences shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of between three to 10 years.
