According to reliable sources, on the evening of Thursday October 16 Shanghai police were on high alert, paying special attention to petitioners shouting slogans regarding the cases of fellow petitioners Zhang Cuiping, Xi Rendi, and others who were summoned to court for interrogation and have not been heard from since. In other news, Shanghai rights activist Du Yangming was unjustly sentenced in Shanghai's Zhabei District to two and a half years for urinating in the city's greenbelt. He was due to be released on December 1, but in recent days the jail has used all kinds of malicious means, getting other prisoners to beat Du Yangming and otherwise harass him. On Wednesday October 15, Du Yangming's wife went to visit him at the jail and saw that her husband was in very low spirits. Du Yangming stated: "I am being persecuted in prison, I don't know if I will survive this persecution. If I do survive, I may suffer the same fate as Chen Xiaoming [ed. note: Chen Xiaoming was a legal rights promoter who fought forced evictions in Shanghai and was jailed for two years and died shortly after being released on medical parole. Chen died of a hemorrhage after being moved from jail to a civilian hospital on July 1, 2007]. For this reason Du Yangming's family is beseeching the media to pay attention to this violation of his rights and make sure that his case is handled according to proper legal procedure. http://news.boxun.com/news/gb/china/2008/10/200810171512.shtml © Copyright 2008 by Boxun News Top of Page |
