#xuzhiyong — Public Fediverse posts

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.

I stand with #DingJiaxi and #XuZhiyong, #China's heroes. China to rule on appeals in case of detained human rights lawyers https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/23/china-to-rule-appeals-ding-jiaxi-xu-zhiyong-detained-human-rights-lawyers?CMP=share_btn_tw https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1727825284395683956#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.」

My latest: After a court in #China sentenced Chinese human rights lawyers #DingJiaxi and #XuZhiyong to 12 years and 14 years, @tengbiao told me that the harsh sentences show that #Beijing is trying to remove the impact of liberalism and civil power. https://www.dw.com/zh/%E5%B0%88%E8%A8%AA%E5%8C%97%E4%BA%AC%E6%83%B3%E7%9B%A1%E5%8F%AF%E8%83%BD%E6%B8%85%E9%99%A4%E6%B0%91%E9%96%93%E5%8A%9B%E9%87%8F/a-65275117 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/WilliamYang120/status/1645698733726896128#m

It’s outrageous and extremely sad to learn about that legal scholar #XuZhiyong and human rights lawyers #DingJiaxi have been sentenced to 14 years and 12 years imprisonment respectively. So heavy sentence for simply expressing their views. #FreeSpeech

In China, civil rights activist #XuZhiyong has been sentenced to 14 years in prison & human rights lawyer #DingJiaxi to 12. Both have already spent years in detention. These outlandish sentences show just how bad things have gotten under the #CCP. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1645267587159273475#m

@YaxueCao RT by @StephenMcDonell: Citizen movement leaders #XuZhiyong and #DingJiaxi will be sentenced on April 10 after more than three years in detention and 9 months since the trials ended. Deprived of paper and pen, Xu Zhiyong dictated the following statement. #许志永 #丁家喜 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/YaxueCao/status/1644303858485657600#m
