Last week, the Biden People accused China of committing a genocide, without providing any evidence.
This week, they’re claiming China doesn’t have a right to execute terrorists.
Two Uighur ex-government officials in China’s Xinjiang have been handed death sentences for carrying out “separatist activities”, a court said, as Beijing comes under increasing fire for its actions towards minority groups in the region.
Shirzat Bawudun, a former head of the Xinjiang department of justice has been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on the charge of “splitting the country”, according to a statement released Tuesday on the Xinjiang government website.
Bawudun had conspired with a terrorist organisation, taken bribes, and carried out separatist activities, Wang Langtao, vice president of the Xinjiang Higher People’s Court, said at a press conference.
Bawudun was found guilty of colluding with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) — listed as a “terrorist” group by the United Nations — after meeting a key member of the group in 2003, according to state news agency Xinhua.
The US removed the group from its list of terror groups last November, saying there was “no credible evidence that ETIM continues to exist.”
(The US removed the various Albanian terrorist groups from their terror list weeks before bombing Serbia in support of the same terrorist groups.)
Bawudun also illegally proved “information to foreign forces” as well as carrying out “illegal religious activities at his daughter’s wedding”, Xinhua said.
The court statement said Sattar Sawut — former director of the Xinjiang education department — was also sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve after being found guilty of crimes of separatism and taking bribes.
Sawut was found guilty of incorporating ethnic separatism, violence, terrorism, and religious extremism content into textbooks in the Uighur language, officials said.
The court said the textbooks had influenced several people to participate in attacks in the capital Urumqi including riots that resulted in at least 200 deaths in 2009.
Others became “key members of a separatist group” headed by former college teacher Ilham Tohti — a Uyghur economist jailed for life on separatism charges in 2014.
This is really out of control how China is treating these poor innocent Moslems.
What would really be insane is if they just started attacking and invading random countries in the Middle East, based on bizarre pretexts.
If China were to say, claim that Iraq was planning to invade China, and then use that as a pretext to invade Iraq, that would show that they are completely out of control, and they would need to be stopped.
