Thirteen people were executed after a massive

a 16 member gang which allegedly committed
a series of highway robberies stealing a total
of 6.29 million Yuan. Fu Limin and eight
others appealed against the original sentences
which were passed in October. Eight of the
appeals were rejected and Fu Limin was
given a two year reprieve. Two other
members of the gang were given sentences of
between three and 20 years imprisonment. It
was reported that the two main ringleaders,
Chen Weixiang and Zhang Xiaojian
appealed against the sentences given to the
other alleged gang members, in particular the
female members (who were accused of luring
the victims). Unusually the provincial high
court president acted as the chief judge in the
appeal hearing. It was also reported that one
of the executed females survived two bullets
during the execution and pleaded to be shot
dead - the third bullet killed her. It was
reported that over 2,000 students and workers
were ‘invited’ to attend the rally where Xu
Liandong, president of Shenzhen
Intermediate People’s Court read out the
verdicts in front of the 16 handcuffed
members. He allegedly told the rally that
