New Arrests over China’s Xinjiang Ethnic Riots
The crackdown over the summer’s violence in Xinjiang are continuing with 94 more arrests, BBC reports:
Those detained are said to have fled following last July’s unrest, between ethnic Uighurs and members of China’s Han majority.
Nearly 200 people were killed and another 1,700 injured.
The fugitives were detained as part of a large scale crackdown by the authorities on crime in Xinjiang.
The operation follows last week’s sentencing of a further eight people to the death penalty.
