Top court vows strict penalties for terror attacks

Chinese courts will continue to fight terrorism-related crimes and sentence attackers strictly this year to ensure national security and stability, the country's top court said on Thursday.

A report from the court said severe punishment, in accordance with the law, had been sought by courts last year for those who committed serious offenses, including violence and terrorism.

The work report of the Supreme People's Court was issued during the annual session of the nation's top legislature.
