A Chinese court sentenced four people to death for their part in bloody ethnic rioting in July last year in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang region, state news media reported on Tuesday. The trial brings the number of death sentences for the rioting to at least 26, of which at least 9 have been carried out. The names of the four sentenced to death suggest that they are all Uighurs, members of a Muslim minority.
