Big rewards offered for tip-offs about terrorist acts
THE government of west China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region said yesterday it will offer rewards of up to 5 million yuan (US$773,000) for information about planned terrorist attacks.
Hundreds of people have been killed in attacks by Islamist militants in Xinjiang in recent years.
The payments will be made for information about attacks, kidnappings, murders and other terrorist activities, the government said via its news portal.
People can also apply for other benefits, such as priority admission to schools and work promotions, it said.
Tip-offs will be treated in confidence and steps taken to ensure those who provide them and their families do not suffer any form of revenge attacks.
Xinjiang has previously offered varying levels of rewards for such tips, and since 2014, about 10,000 people have provided information to the authorities on terrorist activities, the government said.
Other provinces and regions in China and government departments also offer rewards for counter-terrorism tips, including the Internet regulator, which gave out 2 million yuan last year.
