Ahead of Human Rights Day, Chinese Authorities Harass Rights Lawyers, Detain Them at Home
Dec. 10 is International Human Rights Day.
House Arrests
Lawyer Jiang Tianyong has been placed under house arrest at his parents’ home in Xinyang city, in central China’s Henan Province, since Feb. 28, 2019, after serving a two-year-prison sentence.
Jiang was convicted of “inciting subversion of state power” a catch-all charge the Chinese regime often uses against dissidents in 2017.
On Dec. 9, Jiang’s wife Jin Bianling posted on Twitter: “Today is the 650th day that human rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong has been illegally house-arrested by the CCP.” Beijing human rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong. (The Epoch Times)
