Executives held over rumor of terrorists
Print Edition
TWO men have been detained in a southern Chinese city for spreading a rumor about the arrival of hundreds of terrorists, police said, just days before a new law banning false terror information goes into effect.
Police in Shenzhen said two executives of an unspecified local company were detained after they posted a notice containing the rumor at their firm.
It warned employees that 300 people from the far northwestern region of Xinjiang who were trained by the Islamic State group had arrived in the city.
Terrorist attacks by militants from Xinjiang, which have left hundreds of people dead in and outside the region over a number of years, have prompted Beijing to launch an anti-terror campaign in Xinjiang and, most recently, to approve the country’s first anti-terrorism law.
The law, which takes effect on Friday, bans fabrication of terror information. The law says that in times of possible terror attacks, only China’s anti-terrorism leadership agencies can release information on how attacks occur, develop and are dealt with.
