4 jailed for ‘plotting terror attacks’
     2014-September-19  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    A YUNNAN Province court has sentenced four people to up to 20 years in jail for “plotting terror attacks,” Xinhua reported late Wednesday.

    The four were found guilty of “participating in terrorist organizations, illegally making explosives, offering funds or harboring suspects,” Xinhua said, in a report on their trial in Yunnan.

    The defendants, three men and a woman, “came under the influence of extremist religious thoughts” and “accepted extremist religious thoughts and violent terrorism views,” Yunnan.cn, a news portal of Yunnan Daily cited the court as saying.

    “The court said the gang ... made explosives in Beijing and Yunnan, attempting to launch a jihad,” Xinhua added.

    Two of the defendants were detained when trying to cross the border in neighboring Guangxi to join the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a separatist group that has committed a series of terrorist acts in Xinjiang.

    The other two were captured in Honghe, the Yunnan.cn report said, without giving the date of their arrest.

    All four defendants appealed against the rulings, it said.

    The decision followed last week’s sentencing of three people to death and one to life in prison for a March attack at the Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan, in which 31 people died and 141 were injured.

    China’s leaders have vowed to strike hard at terrorists and separatist groups, which are held responsible for a series of attacks.

    Shen Deyong, the executive vice president of China’s Supreme People’s Court, urged judges to “speed up trials of terror cases and deliver exemplary penalties,” Xinhua reported last week.

    Hundreds of people have died in a series of terrorist attacks in Xinjiang in the past 18 months or so.
