Authorities in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, said on Tuesday they will reward informants who report events or individuals connected with activities related to terrorism and religious extremism.
Rewards will range from 1,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan ($160 to $8,150), depending on the value of the information. The plan took effect on Sept 1, the city's police bureau said.
Police said rewards will be given to people who report the illegal production and sale of face-covering gowns and clothing that represent religious extremism, as well as for information on eight types of illegal activities related to terrorism and extremism.
