Chinas Web Dissidenten
-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
In China - jenem Land, das seine Revolution noch vor sich
hat - werden vermehrt Web/dissidenten verhaftet und als
"Subversive" eingesperrt. Das ist ein weiteres Zeichen dafür,
dass der Zeitpunkt dafür näher rückt.

Leitmedium des Umsturzes das TV war, was wird wohl das
Leitmedium der Subversion in China sein?

Second "web dissident" arrested and accused of "subversion"
SOURCE: Reporters sans frontieres (RSF), Paris
(RSF/IFEX) - In a 7 June 2000 letter to Chinese Justice
Minister Gao Changli, RSF protested the arrest of Huang Qi,
editor of a web site on human rights in China. Accused of
"subversion" by the authorities, he faces a ten-year jail
sentence. Robert Ménard, the organisation's secretary-
general, reminded the minister that in a document dated 18
January, the United Nations' special rapporteur on the
promotion and protection of freedom of opinion and freedom
of speech had emphasised that "detention as punishment for
the expression of a peaceful opinion is a serious violation of
human rights". On 30 May the trial of another web dissident
accused of "subversion" began. He faces a five-year
sentence (see IFEX alert of 5 June 2000). In August 1999,
RSF denounced China as one of the twenty enemies of the
Internet (see IFEX alert of 9 August 2000).
According to the information collected by RSF, Huang Qi and
his wife were arrested by police on 3 June at their home in
Chengdu (Sichaun province, in the south-west of the
country). She was released three days later. Huang Qi is still
being held and has been accused of "subversion". The
authorities accuse him of publishing articles on his web site
(www.6-4tianwang.com) which denounce the Tiananmen
Square massacre in June 1989. On the eleventh anniversary
of the killing of students in Tiananmen Square by the Chinese
army, www.6-4tianwang.com published a dozen articles and
documents about the massacre, which was described as an
"anti-revolutionary incident" by the Chinese Communist Party.
