Chinese activist Wang locked up for nine months
Chinese rights activist Wang Lihong has been sentenced to nine months in jail for taking part in a protest outside a court as three bloggers stood trial last year.
Wang was found guilty of “stirring up trouble” as the Communist Party attempts to stamp out Internet-spread dissent.
Her son, Qi Jiangxiang, explained what happened in court:
“She said, ‘I think you all know that I’m innocent’, and the judge said ‘Well, we have a different understanding.”
The district authorities took just 10 minutes to sentence the 56-year-old.
