Two criminal gang leaders were executed by Chongqing No.1 Intermediate People's Court today, cqnews.net reported.

Yang Tianqing and Liu Chenghu committed murder, racketeering, usury and intentional injury and more, which seriously violated people's rights and social rules.

The criminals appealed after the first trial but the Higher People's Court of Chongqing upheld the sentencing and the Supreme People's Court approved the execution, the report said.
