Lawyers in the “709 Case” Go to Hexi District Procuratorate in Tianjin to Submit a Legal Supervision Application

On January 4, four lawyers and families of Li Heping, Wang Yu, Bao Longjun, and Xie Yuandong—suspected of “inciting subversion of state power” in the “709 case”—went together to Hexi District Procuratorate in Tianjin to submit a “Legal Supervision Application,” and to Hexi Public Security Bureau in Tianjin to submit a  “Legal Opinion.” The lawyers, pointing out the serious procedural violations by the public security organs, demand the immediate withdrawal of the case, the release of all of the lawyers and citizens held in secret detention, and that the public security organs involved be supervised by the procuratorate.
