Eight terrorists who triggered two explosions that killed 46 people in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region received the death sentence on Monday.
Nine other terrorists involved in the two explosions received sentences ranging from five years in prison to the death sentence suspended for two years.
Xinjiang, the main focus of the nation's anti-terrorism campaign, also faces threats from separatism and religious extremism.
