February 23, 2016

On February 19, 2016, the Urumqi Intermediate People’s Court convicted Xinjiang rights defender Zhang Haitao of “inciting subversion of state power” and “spying for foreign entities and unlawful providing intelligence” and sentenced him to 19 years in prison and five years of deprivation of political rights. The court also ordered confiscation of the RMB 120,000 of his personal assets. Lawyer Liu Zhengqing says that Zhang, his client, is strong, firmly maintains his innocence, and has initiated an appeal.
