China executes primary school teacher that raped 26 students

China has carried out the execution of a primary
school teacher that raped and sexually abused 26 of
his pupils
Li Jishun targeted "young and timid" girls aged 4 to 11
while teaching at a village school in Gansu province
between 2011 and 2012.
A statement by the Supreme People's Court (SPC)
said Li raped 21 of his victims and sexually abused
the other five in classrooms, dormitories, and the
forest surrounding the village near Wushan town,
reports the BBC.
Some of Lishun's victims were raped more than once,
though the statement did not explain how he was
caught.
He was sentenced to death after the Gansu court
decided he was a "grave threat to society".
It said: "The Supreme People's Court thus believes
that it was appropriate for Li Jishun to be executed."
The story made headlines in local media in the
country and the decision to execute him received
widespread support on social media.
Users of microblogging site Weibo said they were
shocked for the young victims.
One wrote: "Four years old? I can't believe it."
Another said: "A death sentence is too good for this
man."
The SPC says child sex abuse cases are on the rise in
China, with over 7,000 cases reported in recent years.
It told local media that the courts heard 7,145 cases
of child sexual abuse between 2012 and 2014 – a 40
per cent rise over that period.
