A Chinese court sentenced three people to death after being convicted of murder and terrorism for masterminding a train station attack that killed 29 people in March.
A fourth person was sentenced to life in prison for participating in terror activities and murder, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing a verdict given by the intermediate court in Kunming, the capital city of the southwestern Yunnan province. She was spared a death sentence because she was pregnant when captured, according to Xinhua.
