Exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer Tuesday said a Chinese court's decision to sentence six Uighurs to death over July unrest would serve only to "further enrage" her people.
"This is not going to create peace and stability in the region, this will further enrage the Uighur people," she said while on a visit to New Zealand, a day after the sentences in the Xinjiang regional capital Urumqi.
"For the Uighur people around the world this is a very sad day, a day of mourning," Kadeer told Auckland student radio station 95bFM via an interpreter.
