January 23, 2014

From Phayul.com, “Trial of Chinese activist Xu ends without verdict, foreign journalists attacked”:

Xu’s two lawyers, Zhang Qingfang and Yang Jinzhu, told Human Rights in China (HRIC) that they and Xu remained silent during most of the court hearing to protest the “unjust nature” of the trial. In the afternoon, when Xu began delivering his final statement, “For Freedom, Justice, and Love,” the court interrupted him and announced the conclusion of the trial. During the hearing, the prosecutor reportedly requested a heavy punishment for Xu.
