No leniency to terrorists

THE XINJIANG SUPREME PEOPLE'S COURT, Supreme People's Precuratorate and Public Security Bureau jointly released a document on Saturday saying they will crack down on terrorist activities.

It came after a deadly attack at a morning market in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, on Thursday that killed 39 innocent people and injured more than 90.

The joint document reflects the resolute will of the government to show no leniency to terrorists. Those who are involved in terrorist activities will get lighter penalties if they turn themselves in within 30 days after the document takes effect on Saturday. While those who provide tips that lead to the arrest of terrorists or help persuade such criminals into turning themselves in will get a reward. Those found to extend helping hands to terrorists or their activities will be severely punished.
