Xi'an police pressure rioters to surrender

POLICE in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, yesterday published the photos of nine suspects who committed vandalism during an anti-Japanese protest.

Police urged the suspects to turn themselves in for a lenient punishment and called on local residents to provide clues to their whereabouts.

The nine suspects were caught by surveillance cameras as they smashed cars and damaged other people's properties during the September 15 protest against Japan's illegal purchase of China's Diaoyu Islands.

Protests took place in many Chinese cities on September 15 and 16. Some turned violent as rioters smashed Japanese-made cars and Japanese-run businesses, forcing many Japanese companies to suspend their operation in China.
