Separatists sentenced in Xinjiang

A COURT in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region handed prison terms to five people  for inciting separatism and endangering national security.

The Xinjiang Daily said  sentences ranged from seven years to 15 years after a trial in the Kashgar Prefecture Intermediate People's Court.

They were convicted of using electronic devices to spread video and audio material to incite separatist activities, illegally setting up preaching sites to spread religious extremism to children and youths, holding lectures to incite ethnic hatred and plotting to commit crimes with controlled knives.

Overseas separatist forces tend to target Muslim Uygurs majority areas.
