Print Edition
Senior security official Meng Jianzhu has pledged harsh punishment for terrorists in accordance with the law to ensure social stability.
Meng, head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Party’s Central Committee, arrived in Kunming early yesterday morning to oversee anti-terrorism work following the deadly train station attack on Saturday night.
People injured in the attack are being treated at 11 hospitals in Kunming and the National Health and Family Planning Commission has sent a team of doctors to direct rescue operations in the city.
Meng said the terrorists were devoid of conscience and had brutally attacked unarmed civilians, exposing their contempt for humanity and society and should be harshly punished in accordance with the law.
“All-out efforts should be made to treat the injured people, severely punish terrorists according to the law, and prevent the occurrence of similar cases, to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and social stability,” Meng said.
He ordered the use of all resources and means to thoroughly investigate the case and urged forcible measures to crack down on violent terrorism activities.
Meng called for patrols to be stepped up at public places where crowds might be expected and a harsh crackdown on violent crimes to heighten the public’s sense of security.
Meng visited the station square and also met with some of the injured and the families of those killed.
He expressed his sympathy and condolences and urged timely treatment for the injured and assistance for the families of the deceased.
Guo Shengkun, minister of public security, also arrived in Kunming yesterday to guide work.
