China Sentences Democracy Activist to 10 Years

Chinese activist Liu Xianbin has been sentenced to ten years in prison on subversion charges for his online writings. From AP:

Liu Xianbin, who has previously spent a decade in prison, was found guilty of inciting subversion of state power by the Suining Intermediate People’s Court in Sichuan province after a trial that lasted a few hours Friday, his wife Chen Mingxian told The Associated Press.

The trial comes amid a vast crackdown on activism in China. Dozens of well-known lawyers and activists across China have vanished, or have been interrogated, held under house arrest or criminally detained for subversion. The restrictions may reflect government anxiety about possible protests inspired by recent events in the Middle East.

Liu’s sentence is heavy. The charge itself carries a maximum of five years’ imprisonment but courts have the power to impose longer jail sentences if the offense is deemed particularly grave.

Chen said her husband was calm and composed during the trial, and looked relatively well, but that the judge frequently interrupted Liu and their lawyer’s attempts to present a defense.

“The 10-year sentence to me, because we’ve already been through 10 years … (is) a repeat of the painful process, one in which I can only watch and wait anxiously,” Chen said.
