穆斯林活動人士之子被以偷漏稅被判刑 (Muslim Activist's Son Sentenced to Prison in China for Tax Evasion)

一個中國人權組織說，在美國的維吾爾族活動人士熱比婭最小的兒子因為偷稅漏稅被判處7年徒刑。維吾爾美國協會說，穆斯林人口聚居的新疆維吾爾自治區的一家法庭還對熱比亞的小兒子處以6萬2千美元的罰款，他的哥哥也被以同樣的罪名罰款1萬2千美元。該組織說，他們擔心熱比婭的另外一個因顛覆罪名而在押的兒子受到折磨。

熱比婭是維吾爾美國協會主席。她因為批評中國政府對新疆的統治被監禁6年。2005年，她獲得假釋後流亡美國。熱比婭說，她的兒子是無辜的。她認為，他們受到的迫害與她最近當選世界維吾爾代表大會主席有關。

A Chinese rights group says the youngest son of Rebiya Kadeer, a U.S.-based ethnic Uighur activist, has been sentenced to seven years in a Chinese prison for tax evasion. The Uighur American Association says a court in China's predominately Muslim Xinjiang region also fined the son 62-thousand dollars --- while his older brother was fined 12-thousand dollars for the same charges. The organization says it fears a third brother -- who is currently in detention on charges of subversion -- is being tortured.

Rebiya Kadeer is the president of the Uighur American Association. Kadeer spent six years in a Chinese prison for criticizing the government's rule of China's Uighur-dominated Xinjiang region. She was paroled and exiled to the United States in 2005. Kadeer says her sons are innocent, and linked their persecution to her recent election as president of the World Uighur Congress.

伊拉克延長國家緊急狀態 (Iraq Renews State of Emergency)

伊拉克議員把國家緊急狀態再延長30天。與此同時，伊拉克新爆發的衝突造成至少5人死亡。伊拉克的緊急狀態已經施行了兩年多。議會星期二投票，通過將緊急狀態再延長一個月。保安官員說，巴格達發生兩起汽車炸彈爆炸事件，4人死亡，19人受傷。警方說，接連發生的這兩起爆炸事件發生在巴格達西部主要醫院的外面。

另外在北方城市基爾庫克，有關官員說，這個省的省長逃過了一次暗殺企圖。一名自殺炸彈襲擊者在省長車隊附近引爆了身上的炸彈，至少有一名過路人被炸死，至少15人被炸傷。

Iraqi lawmakers have renewed the country's state of emergency for 30 more days, as new attacks killed at least five people. The state of emergency has been in effect for more than two years. Parliament voted Tuesday to extend it for another month. Security officials say at least four people were killed and 19 others wounded in two car bomb explosions in Baghdad. Police say the back-to-back explosions occurred outside west Baghdad's main hospital.

In the northern city of Kirkuk, officials say the provincial governor escaped an assassination attempt when a suicide bomber blew himself up near the official's convoy. At least one bystander was killed and more than 15 people were wounded in that attack.
