CHINA-INTERNAL: CRACKDOWN ON HR ACTIVISM

Chinese labour activist and former factory worker, Liu Shaoming was sentenced to four and a half years in jail for publishing his story of the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. The court in Guangzhou on July 7, 2017, found Liu Shaoming guilty of “inciting subversion of state power”. His detention occurred five days after he published an article on US-website Boxun.com reflecting on his involvement in China’s 1989 pro-democracy movement.

(Comment: Liu Shaoming has already spent more than two years in detention, after he was taken away by police on 30 May 2015.)
