Chinese dissident jailed

[bemildred]

Helped draft a letter, and signed it. Tsk, very
dangerous. Says a lot about the depth of government support
that they feel so insecure.



A United States-based human rights group says that a political
dissident in China has been jailed for five years on subversion
charges.

The New York-based group Human Rights in China says the man, Zhao
Changqing, was arrested last November among about 200 political
activists who signed an open letter to the authorities calling for political
reform.

Mr Zhao has been imprisoned by the Chinese authorities twice before -
once for six months after he took part in the Tiananmen Square
demonstrations of 1989 and later for three years after he protested against
alleged violations of election laws by a district government.
