Xinhua News, 2009-04-09
The Kashgar Area (Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region) Intermediate Court held a “sentencing meeting” outdoors on the grounds of the local sports complex to announce the Supreme People's Court's final approval of capital sentences for two Uighur men convicted in the 8 August, 2008 attack on police in Kashgar. The men were then led to an execution ground and the sentences implemented. A related article describes the attack, which left 17 people dead and 12 injured, as an attempt to “destroy the smooth opening of the Beijing Olympic Games and create an evil influence in the world.”
