A prominent Chinese labour activist was sentenced on 20 October to three years in jail for “gathering a crowd to disrupt social order” .

The Shaanxi Union Rights Defence Representative Congress was formally banned by the city government of Xi’an on 27 July 2009. Zhao then wrote an open letter of protest to the State Council, the city, provincial and central committees of the Chinese Communist Party. He was arrested 18 days later. read full story / add a comment
