A Chinese court Friday sentenced three people to death and one to life imprisonment for their involvement in a terror attack at Kunming railway station March 1.
Iskandar Ehet, Turgun Tohtunyaz and Hasayn Muhammad were sentenced by the Kunming Municipal Intermediate People's Court to death for leading a terrorist organisation and intentional homicide, Xinhua reported.
A fourth suspect, Patigul Tohti, has been sentenced to life for taking part in the attack as well as intentional homicide.
The public trial of the four began earlier Friday.
