Thanks William Yang for the report. So worried about #YuWensheng, #XuYan #XuZhiyong, #DingJiaxi and all the other friends.

“This case will likely deter other human rights activists from trying to meet with foreign diplomats because Yu and Xu were accused of colluding with foreign forces even though they didn’t make it to the scheduled meeting,” Patrick Poon, a visiting researcher at the University of Tokyo, told VOA by phone.

Thank you very much Sophie Shengchun Luo for joining the program “Stories of Human Rights Lawyers” and sharing her views about her husband #DingJiaxi’s human rights work. It’s the first anniversary of Ding Jiaxi’s 12-year imprisonment. It’s amazing that she’s so determined to prepare to fight for Ding Jiaxi and other human rights defenders.

非常感謝人權律師 #丁家喜的妻子 #羅勝春接受「#人權律師的故事」頻道的訪談，談及她對丁家喜律師參與人權工作。前幾天是丁家喜被判刑12年的一週年。她也分享如何做好決心為丁家喜呼籲和關注其他人權捍衛者。

@CHRDnet RT by @jooeysiiu: Today, lawyer #DingJiaxi celebrates his 56th birthday behind bars. Ding Jiaxi was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment by the Linshu County Court in April. Ding has worked for the possibility of China’s “peaceful, rational, & non-violent” transition from an authoritarian state. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/CHRDnet/status/1692192784063566115#m

Q: What makes someone a mortal enemy of the CCP party-state and to be unpleasantly disappeared?

A: “I dream of a country that has democracy, rule of law, equality, and justice … a simple and happy society.”

「When Xi Jinping came to power in late 2012, Xu wrote an open letter, challenging him to implement constitutional democracy. Around then, the police stepped up their surveillance on him, frequently detaining him or putting him under house arrest . Xu would end up paying dearly for his dream.」

「Xu’s will has certainly not been broken. In his self-defence, he wrote: “Dictatorship shall end, democracy shall come.”」

「However, observers fear that the long sentence and harsh conditions of jails means Xu and Ding may never come out of jail alive.」
