On 13 August 2014, Lü was formally arrested for “subverting state power”. In February 2015, his case was transferred to the court for indictment but trial date was repeatedly delayed. On 29 September 2015, Hangzhou City Intermediate People’s Court opened the trial. The allegations included Lü’s articles, the Huangshan meeting, his attendance at pro-democracy activist Wang Rongqing’s funeral and his participating in postcard campaigns. Lü Gengsong refused to answer any questions at the trial. When he read out his self-defense statement, he was interrupted by the judge half way through.

His jail term is expected to end on 11 May 2025.

He requested to receive dental treatment but was rejected. He lost five teeth. The food in the prison was very bad which lacked nutrition. Lü suffers from high-blood pressure and diabetes.

Until 2008, Hangzhou City Intermediate People’s Court convicted him of “inciting subversion of state power” and “illegally possessing state secrets” and sentenced him to four years imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for one year. According to reports, the evidence of the verdict was based on 470 Chinese characters of 19 articles he wrote for overseas websites. When he was released from Xijiao Prison in Hangzhou on 23 August 2011, nearly 100 people went to greet him. The prison authorities were overwhelmed. Almost all the state security police officers were called to block the crowd.

In 2000, Lü had published a book called “The Corrupt Officials of the Chinese Communist Party” in Hong Kong and some other articles on anti-corruption, civil rights and freedom and religion. Lü was a former teacher of Zhejiang Senior Public Security School.

On 19 January 2015, Qin and his wife Zhao Suli were taken away by the police from their home in Wuhan City.

In June 2016, he was prosecuted by the Wuhan City People’s Procuratorate for “inciting subversion of state power”. Until 29 December 2017, after Zhao Suli had disappeared for nearly three years, the State Security officers first confirmed that Zhao Suli had been held in custody because the authorities wanted to investigate Qin Yongmin and kept her under their control.

被拘捕罪名:因「接受外媒採訪及寫文章過多」被行政拘留。其妻趙素利也被關押,與外界失聯。

正式被捕日期:未知
被起訴日期:2016年6月,他被武漢市人民檢察院以「顛覆國家政權罪」起訴

法律代表:劉正清律師、藺其磊律師

審訊日期:2018年5月11日
審判日期:2018年7月11日,武漢中級法院公開宣判

判決結果: 罪名成立
刑期: 有期徒刑13年,剝奪政治權利3年,未有交代詳細案情和判決理由
關押地點:湖北潛江廣華監獄

案件簡介:
秦永敏,湖北人,自1970年代末投入民主運動,亦是中國民主黨的創辦人之一,至今已坐牢超過25年。

1981年,他因主編民主刊物被控以「反革命宣傳煽動」獲刑8年。 1993年,他因呼籲當局釋放所有政治犯、重新評價1989年學生示威運動以及隨後的鎮壓、允許流亡學生回國,而被勞動教養兩年。 1998年,秦永敏因參與創立中國民主黨,被判有期徒刑12年。

2015年1月19日,秦氏夫婦在武漢家中被公安帶走,秦永敏因「接受外媒採訪及寫文章過多」被行政拘留。其妻趙素利也被關押,與外界失聯。 2016年6月,他被武漢市人民檢察院以「顛覆國家政權罪」起訴,起訴書稱,「秦永敏為實現其多元化的民主政治,一方面撰寫文章、出版書籍,提出了’全民和解、人權至上、良性互動、和平轉型’政治目標,確定基本方針、過程和戰略考量、策略和方法,一方面組織策劃實施了一系列旨在顛覆國家政權的活動。」

案件拖了三年多才於2018年5月11日開審,但當日前往旁聽的公民皆被駐守在法院外的公安帶走。據秦永敏的律師當日觀察,秦是三個法警架著,「開庭」不到10分鐘就中止。第二天上午秦仍由兩個法警架著拖進法庭,但秦一言不發,精神狀況極不正常,表面看來是處於昏迷狀態。律師要求先對秦作醫學鑒定,以證明他是否適合受審,但合議庭強行要開庭,並說秦永敏身體狀況可以開庭,以律師不是醫護專業為由,否決他們的要求。

2018年7月11日,武漢中級法院公開判處秦永敏罪名成立,有期徒刑13年,剝奪政治權利3年。刑期之長引來國際批評,歐盟7月11日發表聲明:「中國公民和政治權利狀況惡化,不少中國人權捍衛者正被囚禁或定罪。」

秦永敏的妻子趙素利在2015年1月19日被強迫失蹤,其間家人親友曾向當局多方打聽,毫無下文;直到2017年12月29日,趙素利失蹤近三年,國保才首次承認,趙素利還在人間,因為當局要調查秦永敏案而遭到控制。2018年2月初才獲釋,但據報處於軟禁狀態。

Verdict: Convicted

Sentence: 13 years of imprisonment, 3 years of deprivation of political rights, the court did not explain the details of his case and the reasons for the judgment
Location of detention/imprisonment: Guanghua Prison, Qianjiang City, Hubei Province

Description:
Qin Yongmin, a native of Hubei Province, has been involved in the pro-democracy movement since the late 1970s. He is also one of the founders of Democracy Party of China. At the time of writing, he has served sentences in prison for more than 25 years.

He was arrested in 1981 and sentenced to eight years in prison for “crime of counter-revolutionary propaganda and incitement" as he became an editor for a pro-democracy magazine. In 1993, he was sentenced to re-education through labour for two years for calling on the authorities to release all political prisoners, re-evaluating the 1989 student movement and its subsequent suppression, and allowing exiled students to return to China. In 1998, Qin Yongmin was sentenced to 12 years in prison for participating in the founding of Democracy Party of China.

On 19 January 2015, Qin and his wife Zhao Suli were taken away by the police from their home in Wuhan City. Qin Yongmin was first administratively detained for “being interviewed by foreign media and writing too many articles". His wife was also detained and lost contact with others from then on. In June 2016, he was prosecuted by the Wuhan City People’s Procuratorate for “inciting subversion of state power”.

The indictment reads, “… in order to realize his diversified democratic political view, on one hand, Qin Yongmin wrote articles and published books, to raise the political goals of ‘universal reconciliation, the inviolability of human rights, well-intended interactions and peaceful transformation’. He also drew up basic policies, procedure, strategic planning and methods. On the one hand, he organized, planned and implemented a series of activities which aimed to subvert state power."

It took the authorities over three years to start the trial on 11 May 2018. Citizens who went to the hearing, were taken away by the police, who had stationed outside the court. According to Qin Yongmin’s lawyers, Qin was held by three bailiffs, and the “hearing" was suspended after 10 minutes. The next morning Qin was dragged into the court by two bailiffs, but Qin said nothing, his mental condition was extremely abnormal, and he appeared to be in a coma. The lawyer requested a medical evaluation of Qin, to prove whether he was suitable to stand for trial, but the collegiate panel insisted to continue the trial and claimed that Qin Yongmin’s physical condition was fit for trial. They rejected the lawyers’ request on the grounds that lawyers are not medical professionals.

On 11 July 2018, the Wuhan City Intermediate People’s Court publicly convicted and sentenced Qin Yongmin to 13 years in prison and three years of deprivation of political rights. This harsh sentence attracted international criticism. The European Union issued a statement on the same day, criticizing “deteriorating situation of civil and political rights in China, which has been accompanied by the detention and conviction of a significant number of Chinese human rights defenders.”

Qin Yongmin’s wife, Zhao Suli, had been forcibly disappeared since 19 January 2015. Her family members and friends kept asking the authorities about her whereabouts and received no answer. It was until 29 December 2017, after Zhao Suli had disappeared for nearly three years, the State Security officers first confirmed that Zhao Suli had been held in custody because the authorities wanted to investigate Qin Yongmin and kept her under their control. She was only released in early February 2018, but reportedly still lives under house arrest.

On the previous day, Beijing human rights lawyer Wang Yu was taken away, which started the “709 crackdown” with over 300 individuals being detained or arrested. Among those who were detained, some were also given heavy sentence like Hu Shigen. On 7 August 2015, Hu was placed under “residential surveillance in a designated location” on suspicion of “subverting state power”. His lawyer’s requests for visits were rejected. Until 8 January 2016, Hu was formally arrested for “subverting state power” and was indicted for the same charge on 15 July 2016. On 3 August 2016, Hu was convicted of “subverting state power” by Tianjin Municipal No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court in a secret trial. He was sentenced to 7.5 years’ imprisonment and 5 years of deprivation of political rights. He accepted the sentence and did not appeal.

Hu Shigen was a former lecturer of Beijing Language Institute (currently renamed as Beijing Language and Culture University), an elder of Christian house churches in Beijing, including “Divine Love Christian Fellowship”, “Zhongyuan Church” and “Yehebo Church”. He is also a famous dissident. In January 1991, he secretly established the China Liberal Democratic Party with Wang Guoqi. In April and May 1992, he planned with Liu Jingsheng and others to go to Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan to spread leaflets to protest against the Chinese government’s June 4 Massacre and commemorate the June 4 victims. He was criminally detained in Beijing on 27 May 1992. Then, on 27 September 1992, he was formally arrested on suspicion of “organizing and leading an anti-revolutionary syndicate” and “promoting incitement against revolution”. Until 16 December 1994, he was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment and 5 years of deprivation of political rights by Beijing Municipal Intermediate People’s Court. He appealed against his conviction but it was overturned. When he was serving his sentence at Beijing Municipal No. 2 Prison, he was under strict control. He suffered severely physically and mentally and nearly died in custody. He got two sentence reductions and was released from prison on 26 August 2008, four years earlier than the original jail term.

After his release, Hu continued to promote democracy and freedom and was concerned about human rights incidents. He also became a preacher of Christian house churches. He continued to be under tight surveillance and other forms of persecution, including summons and house arrest. When he supported the “Jasmine Revolution in China” in 2011, he was secretly detained, hooded and beaten up. In 2014, he supported some detained house church members. Then, in May 2014, he took part in a seminar to commemorate June 4. He was summoned and criminally detained on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” by Beijing police for one month.

案件簡介:
李懷慶是重慶市民營企業富華典當有限公司的董事長,長期熱心公益事業。據李懷慶的太太包艷表示,李長期關注和資助弱勢群體,曾多年資助大涼山地區貧困兒童和家境困難的昔日當兵時的戰友,並參與救助塵肺病工人的「大愛清塵」活動,先後捐資三十萬元人民幣。

2017年底,他在杭州參加了「公和基金會」組織的慈善活動,期間大家談到公安部的貪腐問題。與會者建議將所掌握的情況用書信形式向習近平反映。由於與會者大多是上市公司老總和知名學者,公安部有所顧忌,於是將報復目標鎖定在李懷慶等民營企業家身上,以起到殺一儆百的作用。

2018年1月31日李和數名員工被公安抓走。2018年2月2日被重慶巿公安局刑事拘留,涉嫌「虛假訴訟罪」,2018年2月12日被正式逮捕。同年7月12日,重慶巿公安局以被告涉嫌「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」,向重慶巿江北區人民檢察院移送審查起訴。後者將案件在同月24日移交重慶巿人民檢察院第一分院審查起訴。第一分院以證據不足,事實不清為由,兩度發還案件至公安局作補充偵查,至2019年1月30日以「非法拘禁罪、詐騙罪、敲詐勒索罪和煽動顛覆國家政權罪」正式起訴李。當局同時凍結李懷慶、他的公司及他姐姐(未有涉及任何案件)的資產,涉及過億元人民幣。

李懷慶被指控在2017年10月至2018年1月間,在微信「以造謠、誹謗等方式煽動顛覆國家政權」七次發文,包括轉發文章「紅四方面軍在四川殺人百萬」及涉及「道義抗爭」、「暴力革命」等內容的錄音。這些微信訊息是李轉發給大兒子的私信,還有跟朋友聊天的內容。李太太表示「就是私底下的聊天,就讓他們作為證據,說他煽動顛覆國家政權。」。

羈押過程中,李懷慶的律師及其家屬均未收到涉嫌「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」的逮捕通知書或文件。案件於2020年6月8日在重慶市第一中級法院開庭審理,但沒有當庭宣判。法庭指由於疫情,限制李懷慶一方最多只能有兩名相關人員出庭。他的妻子包艷認為,法院是利用疫情做幌子 ,故意阻撓相關人員出庭作證。

2020年11月20日,李被判處有期徒刑20年,剝奪政治權利3年,名下資產全數凍結。李懷慶8名員工也被判處徒刑,刑期4年至16年不等。包艷表示會上訴。

*李並非原作者,他所轉發的文章介紹:1932年秋,紅四方面軍以張國燾為首率兵共約二萬餘人進入川北地區。據當時的《四川月報》記載,紅軍屠殺人民,全川在這次兵災中死亡人口為111萬之巨。

Description:
Li Huaiqing is the director of the Chongqing private enterprise Fuhua Pawn Co., Ltd., and a prominent philanthropist. According to Li Huaiqing’s wife Bao Yan, Li has been caring for and funding disadvantaged groups. Over the years, he has subsidized poor children in the Daliangshan area and former comrades from the army who were in financial difficulties, volunteered for Da-ai-qing-chen (an organization to support migrant workers who contracted silicosis from workplace). He has donated about 300,000 yuan in total.

In late 2017, he participated in a charity event organized by the “Gonghe Foundation" in Hangzhou city, during which participants talked about corruption in the Ministry of Public Security. Participants suggested that they should report this problem to Xi Jinping by writing him letters. Ministry of Public Security got wind of this meeting and decided to punish private entrepreneurs such as Li Huaiqing as retaliation, while most of the other attendees were CEOs of listed companies and well-known scholars.

On 31 January 2018, Li and several employees were taken away by the police. He was criminally detained by the Chongqing Public Security Bureau on 2 February 2018, on suspicion of “false litigation", and was formally arrested on 12 February 2018. On 12 July of the same year, the Chongqing Public Security Bureau transferred his case to the People’s Procuratorate of Jiangbei District for review and prosecution on suspicion of “inciting subversion of state power." The latter further transferred the case to the First Branch of the Chongqing Municipal People’s Procuratorate for review and prosecution on 24 July 2018. On the grounds of insufficient evidence and unclear facts, it twice sent the case back to the Public Security Bureau for supplementary investigation. It was until 30 January 2019 that Li was formally charged with “false imprisonment, fraud, extortion and inciting subversion of state power". The authorities also freezed the assets of Li Huaiqing, his company and his sister (who has not involved in any cases), involving more than 100 million yuan.

Li Huaiqing was accused of “inciting subversion of state power by spreading rumors and slander" on WeChat in seven occasions between October 2017 and January 2018, including re-posting an article called “Fourth Red Army Killed Millions in Sichuan"*, sending audio clips including phrases such as “moral resistance", “violent revolution" to others. These WeChat messages are indeed private messages that Li forwarded to his eldest son and chats with his friends. Mrs. Li said that “those are simply private chats and are now used as evidence that he incited subversion of state power."

During detention, neither Li Huaiqing’s lawyers nor his family received an arrest notice or document stating that he “incited subversion of state power." The case was heard in Chongqing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court on 8 June 2020, but no verdict was pronounced on that day. The court stated that due to the COVID-19 [andemic, the number of Li Huaiqing’s witnesses to testify in court was restricted to a maximum of two persons. His wife Bao Yan believes that the court was using the pandemic as an excuse to deliberately obstruct relevant personnel from testifying for Li.

Li was sentenced to 20 years in prison, deprived of political rights for 3 years, and all assets under his name were frozen on 20 November 2020. Eight employees of Li Huaiqing were also sentenced to imprisonment, ranging from 4 to 16 years. His wife said they would appeal.

*Li is not the original author of this article. The article he shared stated that in the autumn of 1932, the Fourth Army led by Zhang Guotao brought more than 20,000 soldiers to northern Sichuan. According to the “Sichuan Monthly", the Red Army massacred the local people and caused a total causality of 1.1 million.

Updated on: 12 January 2021

黃琦 – 六四天網,護衛弱勢(因網絡言論入罪被判刑共20年)

黃琦是中國網絡異見先驅、第一個人權資訊網站創始人。1999年,黃琦設立「六四天網」,揭露地方政府的瀆職和暴行,並報導「六四」死難者成功索賠訊息。自2000年起,3次因網絡言論被拘捕,合共判刑20年。黃琦最近一次被拘捕是2016年,一直被「未審先押」在看守所,又屢遭當局毆打,導致腎衰竭病情惡化,全身浮腫,隨時有生命危險。2019年7月,黃琦被以「洩露國家秘密罪」及「為境外非法提供國家秘密罪」判刑12年,剝奪政治權利4年,沒收個人財產2萬元。直至宣判前,黃琦家屬未獲通知,幾位原本代表他的隋牧青、劉正清和張贊寧等律師先後被中共吊銷律師執照。黃琦一直拒絕認罪,病情日益惡化。

86歲高齡母親浦文清多次申請黃琦保外就醫,更遠赴北京陳情,始終被拒,恐怕黃琦會像劉曉波一樣病死獄中。蒲文清遭當局非法軟禁一年多,在精神和心理壓力下患上肺癌,最近病情加重,醫院不給用藥也不給住院治療。

今天(4月7日)是黃琦57歲生日,支聯會敦促中國政府釋放黃琦,或基於人道原則讓他保外就醫,與母親蒲文清同時獲得治療,早日康復。

以下是黃琦簡介──

天網尋人 以萬家團圓為己任

黃琦,1963年4月7日出生,四川省內江市人,四川大學無線電子系畢業。黃琦畢業後長期經商、辦實業,網站負責人,筆名難博。

1998年10月23日,他與妻子曾麗變賣家產,成立中國首家尋人事務所--「天網尋人事務所」。1999年6月4日,他倆創辦中國民間第一家尋人網站「天網尋人」,以萬家團圓為己任,幫助尋找失散親人,救出不少被拐婦女,獲得官方讚揚。

截至2000年6月3日,曾為200多個離散家庭得以團聚。「天網尋人」事跡被《人民日報》、CNN、BBC、等數千家海內外媒體廣泛報導。1999年被《北京青年報》評選為中國9大網事之一。

吶喊網站 利用網絡維權

1999年,黃琦在「天網尋人」基礎上開闢「吶喊網站」,利用網絡突破柏林牆、維權、宣傳民主自由,為受到不公待遇的下層百姓服務,被公認為中國人權第一站。

2000年2月,由於受害者在「天網尋人」上對政府的批評越來越多,各級部門對「天網尋人」施加更大壓力。

3月底,「天網尋人」網站被查封。美國一個互聯網供應商支持下,「天網尋人」4月轉移到美國服務器上繼續運行。

因網絡言論被捕入獄

2000年6月3日,黃琦第一次被捕。在關押長達3年後,2003年5月9日,黃琦被以「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」,判刑5年,剝奪政治權利1年。5月18日,黃琦提出上訴。黃琦被捕後,引起世界廣泛關注,美國政府及數百家國際組織抗議中國對黃琦的迫害,中國數百人為黃琦案受到牽連,甚至入獄。。黃琦是中國第一位因網路言論獲罪的人權工作者。

2003年4月「電腦自由及隱私年會」上,來自全世界各地數百名電腦專家,呼籲關注黃琦。

2004年6月,國際新聞組織「記者無國界」與「法蘭西基金會」授予黃琦「第2屆互聯網自由獎」。2005年6月4日刑滿獲釋。經受5年漫長牢獄折磨,治療傷病,並設法恢復「天網尋人」事務所。在獄中,黃琦因堅持要寫申訴,遭到毆打,被關一年多小號子,長期睡潮濕地板,造成背部長瘡,還患上風濕性心臟病,經常頭痛,消瘦而臉部浮腫。黃琦希望回成都檢查身體及治療,但遭四川當局的拒絕。除了不准回自己的家,還把黃琦在獄中寫的幾十萬字筆記強行搜走。

作為良心犯家屬常受株連。成都公立中學不讓黃琦兒子入讀,妻子曾麗只好讓兒子讀私立學校。不敢對老師和同學說自己的父親是誰,這個小男孩變得憂鬱內向。

成立「六四天網」 揭豆腐渣工程再陷獄

2005年,黃琦第一次出獄後,把「天網尋人」網站易名為「六四天網」。

2006年,「六四天網」改名「中國天網人權事務中心」,大量報導中國人權議題及維權事件。

2008年汶川地震後,黃琦參與救災工作,並率先披露災區「豆腐渣」工程。這讓黃琦第二次被捕。2009年11月,再次被以「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」及「非法持有國家機密文件罪」獲罪,坐牢8年,2011年6月出獄。

2016年11月28日,黃琦第三次被捕,被刑事拘留,12月16日逮捕,罪名是「為境外非法提供國家秘密」。羈押在四川綿陽市看守所,黃琦因拒不認罪遭多次毆打。

2017年7月,黃琦被羈押8個月後,首次獲准與代理律師會面。

2018年9月,黃琦被追加「故意洩露國家秘密罪」。

2019年7月29日,黃琦一審被以「故意洩露國家秘密」和「為境外非法提供國家秘密」等罪名,判處有期徒刑12年,剝奪政治權利4年,沒收財產2萬元人民幣,為近年公民維權最重判刑。同年12月下旬,二審開庭,維持12年原判決,12月24日送往四川巴中監獄服刑。

2019年8月1日,美國國務院及歐盟對外事務部分別發表聲明關注黃琦被重判,呼籲中國立即釋放黃琦,允許他盡快與家人聯繫,並呼籲中國保障公民權利及遵守國際法義務。

監獄條件差劣及遭虐打 健康狀況令人擔憂

黃琦首兩次入獄時,因監獄條件差劣及遭受毒打、折磨,令他身患腦積水、腦萎縮、心臟病、腎炎等多種疾病。

第三度被捕時,腎衰竭病情惡化,血壓高,看守所不僅疑偽造他的血壓資料記錄,以圖掩飾病情,又拒絕讓他在看守所醫院治理,甚至扣起醫生給他的藥物。看守所更對他疲勞提審、長時間罰站、剝奪睡眠、毆打等酷刑和不人道方式,強迫他認罪,令他的健康惡化,隨時有生命危險。

除了黃琦健康令人擔憂,「六四天網」義工王晶於2019年9月中旬刑滿出獄,但她在看守所多次遭毆打,腦癌病情惡化。出獄後,當局還警告她親友不能接受傳媒採訪。而她本人也很恐懼,擔心會再次被捕。2014年年12月10日,王晶在中央電視台附近拍攝抗議照片時被拘留。2016年4月,吉林法院以「尋釁滋事罪」判處王晶有期徒刑4年10個月。

為民主人權不退縮

黄琦以作為一個人的良知,實踐中國《憲法》和中國所簽署的國際人權公約賦予公民的基本權利,即使屢遭打壓,身體飽受摧殘,仍不畏強權,勇敢為民主、人權和社會公義發聲。他曾說:「如果一個人在中國這塊土地上爭取民主和自由,就把他說是六四分子、法輪功分子、民運分子。我可以明確地告訴他們(當局),我就是這樣的人,我會引以為豪。我就是要爭取民主,就是要爭取自由。」

除了黃琦,中國近年還有「非新聞」創辦人盧昱宇(判刑4年)、「民生觀察」創辦人劉飛躍(判刑5年),和2019年底出獄的甄江華(判刑2年)等多個維權資訊網站負責人遭囚禁和判刑,而黃琦的刑期最長。
