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 11 July 2018, the Wuhan City Intermediate People’s Court convicted and sentenced veteran pro-democracy activist #QinYongmin to 13 years in prison and three years of deprivation of political rights. 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”. 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.

姓名：秦永敏 （Qin Yongmin）

出生日期：1953年8月11日
職業：異見人士，中國民主黨創立者之一

被拘捕日期：2015年1月19日
被拘捕地點：在武漢家中被公安帶走
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 suffered severely physically and mentally and nearly died in custody.

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.

張賈龍原《騰訊財經頻道》編輯，及《財經》雜誌編輯，曾報導艾未未北京工作室被強拆和「結石寶寶之父」趙連海維權訊息。後因報導北京出租車司機罷工被行政拘留。2014年美國前國務卿克里訪華時曾與他見面，批評中國的互聯網審查和人權問題。另外，他曾繫黃絲帶聲援香港「雨傘運動」。2019年香港「反送中」運動期間被中國當局針對。2019年8月在貴陽家中被公安帶走，其後被控「尋釁滋事罪」，2021年1月8日被判到一年半。扣除 #張賈龍 被拘留的日子，他於2021年2月11日刑滿出獄，回家過春節。張賈龍的妻子邵媛告訴記者，張賈龍狀況尚可，但稍微消瘦。由於目前仍處於取保階段，因此不便多說，但感謝外界關心。

Zhang Jialong was a former editor of Tencent’s Finance Channel and a former of editor of Caijing magazine. He had covered the demolition of artist Ai Weiwei’s Beijing studio and Zhao Lianhai, who represented victims of toxic milk powder. He was administratively detained after reporting Beijing taxi drivers’ strike. In 2014, he met with former US Secretary of State John Kerry and criticised China’s censorship and human rights records. He also showed his support for Hong Kong’s “Umbrella Movement”. During the Anti-Extradition Bill protests in HK, he was targeted by mainland authorities.

Deducting the period of #ZhangJialong’s detention, he was released on Lunar New Year’s Eve (11 Feb 2021) and could go home for the Spring Festival. Zhang Jialong’s wife, Shao Yuan, told media that Zhang Jialong’s condition was fine, although he lost some weight. Since Zhang is currently released on bail, it is better for them to keep quiet for the time being, but the family is grateful to the support from outside.

職業：記者 （曾任職《財經》雜誌和騰訊財經頻道）、博客

被拘捕日期：2019年8月12日
被拘捕地點：在貴陽家中被公安和維穩人員帶走
被拘捕罪名：涉嫌「尋釁滋事罪」

正式被捕日期： 2019年9月13日
被起訴日期：2019年12月

法律代表：蕭雲陽律師、燕文薪律師

審訊日期： 2020年5月13日
審判日期： 2021年1月8日
判決結果： 罪名成立
刑期： 有期徒刑一年半， 2021年2月11日獲釋
關押地點：貴陽巿南明區看守所

案件簡介：

張賈龍原任騰訊財經頻道編輯，曾報道藝術家艾未未工作室遭強拆，以及關注和報導「結石寶寶之父」趙連海維權等信息。 2011年4月因在推特發貼指北京巿出租車司機即將罷工，被抄家和行政拘留十天，被北京警方稱為「在互聯網上鼓吹罷工」，「企圖製造事端，妨害首都公交治安秩序的危險分子」。

張在2014年2月美國前國務卿克里(John Kerry)訪華期間應邀會面，批評中國的監控體系及網絡審查制度，呼籲美國關注中國的互聯網自由、人權活躍人士如許志永和劉曉波，並建議克里探望劉霞。張賈龍在《外交政策》上發表文章〈我想告訴克里的所有事〉，解說這次會議的想法，他希望美國拒絕發簽證予中國負責防火長城相關人員，包括北京郵電大學校長兼防火長城創造人之一方濱興。張賈龍因此被騰訊找藉口「洩露商業秘密等敏感信息行為」解聘後，再沒有穩定工作。

張賈龍近年回到家鄉貴陽生活，成為活躍的網絡作者，但一直比較低調，被抓前女兒剛出生，估計是次被捕是政治報復，或與他曾聲援2014年香港「雨傘運動」有關。當時他曾上傳佩戴黃絲帶照片聲援香港，其後亦多次轉發有關港台的消息，疑因此於2019年「反修例運動」期間被當局針對。他的被捕和開庭備受國際關注，美國國務院發言人和無國界記者均曾呼籲中國釋放張賈龍。

2019年8月12日，張在貴陽家中被公安和維穩人員帶走，翌日被刑事拘留，涉嫌「尋釁滋事罪」，至2019年9月13日正式批捕。去年檢察當局曾遊說張妻邵媛勸張妥協，以撰寫認罪材料換取輕判，當時遭邵媛拒絕。2019年12月初，張被正式起訴。

2020年5月13日，案件在貴陽市南明區法院開庭，起訴書稱張賈龍自2016年以來，在推特發布大量詆毀黨、國家和政府形象的虛假信息，應當以「尋釁滋事」追究刑事責任。

當局以2019冠狀病毒疾病（COVID-19）疫情為由拒發旁聽證，並中途攔阻多名欲前往法院表達關心和支持的張賈龍友人。張在庭上表示他所發的推特言論屬個人言論自由，沒有構成犯罪。
2021年1月8日，法院在庭審後八個月作出判決，判處張賈龍有期徒刑一年半，張不服判決表示會上訴。扣除張被拘留的日子，他於2021年2月11日刑滿出獄，回家過春節。張賈龍妻子邵媛告訴記者，張賈龍狀況尚可，但稍微消瘦。由於目前仍處於取保階段，因此不便多說，但感謝外界關心。

Date of trial: 13 May 2020, the first hearing was held in Nanming District People’s Court, Guiyang City
Date of sentencing: 8 January 2021
Verdict: Convicted
Sentence: 18 months of imprisonment, he completed his sentence on 11 February 2021
Location of detention/imprisonment: Nanming District Detention Centre, Guiyang City

Description:
Zhang Jialong was previously employed as an editor of Tencent Website’s Finance Channel. He once reported that the artist Ai Weiwei’s studio was demolished, documented Zhao Lianhai’s campaign, who fought for the children who had been harmed during the 2008 Chinese toxic milk powder scandal. In April 2011, Zhang’s home was searched and he was administratively detained for ten days after posting on Twitter that Beijing taxi drivers were about to go on strike. The Beijing police described him as “advocating strikes on the Internet" and “a dangerous person who attempted to cause trouble and disrupt public order in the capital”.

In February 2014, Zhang was invited to meet with former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry when he visited Beijing. Zhang criticized China’s surveillance system and internet censorship, called on the United States to pay attention to China’s internet freedom and human rights activists such as Xu Zhiyong and Liu Xiaobo, and suggested Kerry to visit Liu Xia (Liu Xiaobo’s wife). Upon invitation by the Foreign Policy website, Zhang wrote an article spelling out everything he would like to say to Kerry in that meeting, including hoping that the United States would implement visa sanctions on those who contributed to create the Great Firewall (GFW), such as Fang Binxing, the father of GFW and then President of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. In May 2014, Tencent terminated his employment contract, accusing him of “leaking business secrets and other confidential and sensitive information". Since then, Zhang could not find any stable jobs.

Some years ago, Zhang moved back to his hometown Guiyang City in Guizhou Province. He became an active blogger but kept a low profile. His daughter was just born when he was detained in August 2019. It is believed that the arrest was political retaliation or related to his support to the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong in 2014. At that time, he uploaded a photo wearing a yellow ribbon in support of Hong Kong people, and also shared news about Hong Kong and Taiwan repeatedly. His arrest in 2019 could be seen as a warning to other activists, as the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill protests waged on in Hong Kong. His arrest and court hearing have attracted international attention. Both the spokesperson of the US State Department and Reporters Without Borders called on China to release Zhang Jialong.

On 12 August 2019, Zhang was taken away from his home in Guiyang City by police and state security personnel. He was criminally detained the next day on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble" and formally arrested on 13 September 2019. The procuratorial authorities lobbied Mrs. Zhang, Shao Yuan to persuade Zhang to compromise and write a confession statement in exchange for a more lenient sentence, but Shao Yuan refused. In early December 2019, Zhang was formally indicted.

The first hearing was held in the Nanming District People’s Court of Guiyang City on 13 May 2020. The indictment stated that Zhang Jialong had posted a large number of false information on Twitter since 2016 that slandered the image of the party, the country and the government, and therefore should be held criminally responsible for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”.

Citing COVID-19 pandemic, the authorities disallowed observers to the hearing and stopped several of Zhang Jialong’s friends who wanted to go to the court to show their concern and support. Zhang defended himself in court, stating that he was exercising his freedom of speech in tweeting and it did not constitute a crime.

On 8 January 2021, the court finally rendered a verdict eight months after the trial and sentenced Zhang Jialong to18 months in prison. Zhang disagreed with the verdict and planned to appeal. Deducting the period of Zhang’s detention, he was released on Lunar New Year’s Eve (11 February 2021) and could go home for the Spring Festival. Zhang Jialong’s wife, Shao Yuan, told media that Zhang Jialong’s condition was fine, although he lost some weight. Since Zhang is currently released on bail, it is better for them to keep quiet for the time being, but the family is grateful to the support from outside.

李懷慶原重慶市民營企業富華典當有限公司董事，熱心捐助弱勢社群，2017年底參與一個慈善活動，參與者太多為民營企業家和知名學者，其間討論到公安部貪腐問題。2018年1月，與公司幾名員工被公安帶走，李懷慶先被控「虛假訴訟罪」，至2019年1月又以「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，至2020年11月被重判20年，全數資產被凍結。李懷慶8名員工也被判處4年至16年不等。李懷慶妻子包艷表示會上訴。

In late 2017, while taking part in a charity event, participants – mostly private entrepreneurs and famous scholars – discussed the corruption problems of the Ministry of Public Security. In January 2018, Li and several staff from his company were taken away by the police. Li was first accused of “false litigation”. Until January 2019, Li was indicted for “false imprisonment, fraud, extortion and inciting subversion of state power”. At last, he was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment and all his assets frozen in November 2020. Eight of Li’s employees were also sentenced to jail, ranging from 4 to 16 years.

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.
