Six Drug Traffickers Sentenced to Death
Six people charged with trafficking and selling drugs were sentenced to death Tuesday by the Intermediate People's Court of Zhanjiang, in south China's Guangdong Province, in the case's first trial.

The six were also deprived of their political right to life, with their personal property confiscated, according to the court verdict.

Court investigations found that in the middle of October 2001, four drug traffickers Yu Wu, Liang Kangshe, Pan Ji and Tan Lie, plotted to traffic heroin from the border areas between Yunnan and Myanmar and then sell the drugs in Lianjiang City.

On Oct. 20, Yu and Liang went to Zhanjiang to get money from Chen Xiongzhi to buy heroin. They asked their accomplice Pan Ji tobring the money to Yunnan.

On Dec. 11 the same year, Chen Xiongzhi and Liu Qiang, another accomplice, came to Lianjiang City to get 2,799 grams of heroin from Yu Wu.

Chen and Liu, together with the 2,799 grams of heroin, were seized by police when passing a toll station at Lianjiang. Yu was seized at his home, where local police found 9,692 grams of heroin.

The total seized 12,491 grams of heroin have been confiscated.
