Airport bomber鈥檚 sentence upheld

A BEIJING court today upheld a six-year sentence for Ji Zhongxing who set off explosives at Beijing Capital International Airport in July.

The Beijing Municipal No. 3 Intermediate People’s Court rejected his appeal and upheld the original sentence.

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.
