China Sentences 6 Uyghurs to Death
----------------------------------



In China, six people have been sentenced to death for their alleged
roles in the clashes between local Han Chinese and Uyghur residents
earlier this year. All of the defendants appear to be Uyghurs. At least
150 people were killed and over a thousand injured in what was described
as the bloodiest ethnic violence to hit China in decades.
