> only speculate You can speculate more accurately based on past trends in absence of transparency. In both Tashpolat Tiyip and Halmurat Ghopur, the sentence was "death sentence with a two-year reprieve" which is almost always commuted life imprisonment [I think somewhere in 2], unless the accused is found to have intentionally commit further crimes. >This unique sentence is used to emphasize the seriousness of the crime and the mercy of the court, and has a centuries-old history in Chinese jurisprudence [1]. We'll have to wait and see if these two actually get executed, if they aren't (likely) then it's possibly political theater by Chen Quanguo. Hence timing is interesting aka suspicious. If they are, then they likely committed something serious.
