HUMAN RIGHTS of Red China

Taipei Times - archives: "China said yesterday that two Tibetans had been executed for their role in deadly ethnic unrest that rocked the Himalayan region last year, the first known use of capital punishment over the violence.

The confirmation by Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Ma Zhaoxu (馬朝旭) came after several international activist groups had reported that up to four Tibetans were shot dead by Chinese firing squads over the violence that erupted in March last year.

“The two criminals who were executed were found guilty in accordance with the law in both a first trial and an appeals trial,” Ma told reporters.

“China’s judiciary handled the cases in strict accordance with the law,” he said, noting that the verdicts had been reviewed by the Supreme Court."
