BEIJING - China executed an ethnic Muslim from the country's restive far western region for alleged separatist activities, a U.S. broadcaster said Friday.
China didn't confirm the execution of Ismail Semed, which human rights groups condemned because they said the prosecution's case against him lacked evidence and his confession may have been coerced.
Semed, a member of the Uighur minority group in Xinjiang, was shot to death Thursday morning after being convicted in October 2005 of trying to "split the motherland," and possessing firearms and explosives, Radio Free Asia reported.
Chinese authorities say militants among the Uighurs — Turkic-speaking Muslims — are leading a violent Islamic separatist movement in the region and are seeking to set up an independent state of "East Turkistan."…(Associated Press, 9/2/07).
Ulasan: Selamat jalan mengadap Allah swt. Semoga Allah menerima perjuanganmu untuk menegakkan negara Islam.
