A Muslim has been executed on charges of seeking independence for China's Muslim-majority northwestern region of Xinjiang and making explosives, a court official said. Kuerban Tudaji, an ethnic Uighur, was sentenced to death June 30 and later executed, said Fu Rongqing, a spokesman for the Supreme People's Court in Xinjiang.
Fu said he wasn't sure of the date the execution was carried out.
Fu said Kuerban Tudaji was convicted of seeking independence for Xinjiang - or trying to "split China,'' in legal terms - and for making and transporting explosives and ammunition.
