In a report published this month, Amnesty International criticized the so-called strike hard campaign against separatists. It noted that China's campaign in Xinjiang has resulted in many political prisoners being executed on charges of "separatism" and a range of alleged violent crimes.
"At the end of April, for example, 30 Uighurs were sentenced to death on such charges in four districts of (Xinjiang) alone, of whom 16 were reportedly executed immediately," Amnesty International said.
