Judges discuss de-extremism regulation in Xinjiang’s Moyu county
Several judges have been dispatched to Moyu county in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where a deadly terrorist attack occurred in 2016, to teach local residents and students the regional’s de-extremism regulation.
Several judges from the People’s Court at Xinhe county, Aksu Prefecture held lessons on the law for students and parents in a local middle school in Moyu on January 16, according to a Legal Daily report on Tuesday.
Besides de-extremism regulation, they also instructed villagers about the core content of other two laws – Law on Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency and Road Traffic Safety Law.
Nine judges from the High People’s Court of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region also visited a village in Moyu on January 15-16 and held a legal workshop.
The judges interpret legal knowledge by explaining specific legal cases like cracking down on gangs and evil forces.
A villager who attended the law lesson told the Legal Daily that “the judges made the cases very clear. I plan to hold a family meeting when I go back and tell my family about it.”
In a bid to promote national unity, the High People’s Court of Xinjiang also dispatched 448 law officers in the past months to Moyu to interpret national policies and help villagers set production plans. They returned to Urumqi on Saturday, the People’s Court Daily reported on Sunday.
An official who previously worked in Hotan prefecture told the Global Times on Wednesday that villagers in Moyu, under the administration of Hotan, can receive knowledge on national policies and laws via various channels such as TV programs, or by talking to local officials stationed in the villages. “Such activities aim to foster villagers’ sense of nation and law,” the official noted.
To strengthen the management of grass-roots level Party organizations and push forward the poverty alleviation work in villages, Xinjiang regional government has deployed more than 43,700 officials in five waves to 1,000 villages.
