China Has Mass Sentencing of Islamist Separatists in Football Stadium

That's the way you do it!

A spectacle designed to show their resolve against terrorism, Chinese authorities held a public sentencing in a football stadium in the northwestern Xinjiang region of 55 people convicted of violent crimes. 

More than 7,000 people filled the stadium stands in Yili prefecture during Tuesday’s sentencing and videos were distributed by police Wednesday to Chinese media. 

It was an unusually public display in a country where court proceedings are normally closed to the public.
