Three more death sentences were announced today in the July 5, 2009 Urumqi riots. Two have Muslim names and one a Han name, according to China Daily's account today. Earlier this week five death sentences were announced but the press account (like today's) does not specify if any were with a two year reprieve - which usually converts to life in prison. On November 10 nine were executed, after Supreme People's Court review, for their part in the riots which left nearly 200 dead, says China Daily.
China Daily reports that on November 5 internet service was restored in Xinjiang.
