Xinjiang fighting extremist thought

Region's education facilities help rescue those lured into terrorism

Lawmakers in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region have revised local regulations to allow local governments to set up education facilities to help those who have been lured into terrorist activities and those affected by extremist thoughts to return to society and their families.

The full text of the revised anti-extremism regulation, adopted by the regional people's congress on Sept 5, was released on Tuesday, when it took effect.
