BEIJING - Authorities in China have arrested almost 13,000"terrorists" in Xinjiang since 2014, the government said on Monday, in a policy paper defending its controversial de-radicalisation measures for Muslims in the restive far western region.
Legal authorities have adopted a policy that"strikes the right balance between compassion and severity", the government said in its white paper. It also gave a breakdown of 30 attacks since 1990, with the last one recorded in December 2016, saying 458 people had died and at least 2,540 were wounded as a consequence of attacks and other unrest."China is deliberately distorting the truth," spokesman Dilxat Raxit said in an emailed statement.
