Severe crackdown on violent and terrorist crimes 严打暴恐 (yan da bao kong)

Thirty-nine people were killed and more than 90 injured in the deadly terrorist attack in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, on May 22. This brutal act of terrorists - targeting innocent people, especially senior citizens, women and children - has revealed their evil designs and inhuman nature. Terrorists have no concern for humanity and challenge the bottom line of civilized society; they are the enemy of the entire human race.

The inhuman and brutal terrorist acts have outraged people of all ethnic groups not only in Xinjiang but also the rest of the country. Soon after the May 22 terrorist attack in Urumqi, the Ministry of Public Security announced the launching of a one-year nationwide crackdown on terrorists, with especial focus on Xinjiang as it has suffered a series of deadly terrorist attacks in recent times.
