A heavy day here today as news spread of Yang's 9-year sentence in China. Background is that the 2017 jailing of #LeeMingChe is still fresh in our minds. China has continued to step up its aggressive measures towards Taiwan (and too many others.)
China jails Taiwanese activist to nine years for "separatism". This verdict from Wenzhou, China marks a two-year hold since YANG Chih-yuan (楊智淵)'s detention in 2022. (Thread) https://t.co/YOH7df4gcV
We will continue to update when more information becomes available. To read more about China's political jailing of Taiwanese, see this talk by #LeeMingChe after his return in 2022. He reflects on the importance of advocacy for political prisoners: https://t.co/ZrHD4cDHBr
In Taipei tonight - a talk by Taiwanese rights worker Lee Ming-Che who returned home in April this year after serving 5 years in China for 'subversion of state' as charged by the CCP.
This is reminiscent of the case of LEE Ming-Che, a Taiwanese rights worker who spent 5 years in jail in Hunan, China for subversion of state. In 2017 Lee was detained in March, tried in September, and sentenced in November. He returned to Taiwan in 2022. #LeeMingChe
Taiwan's civic society brought #LeeMingChe's case to EU Parliament + US Congress, but international media failed us. The selection of news was a stark contrast to the frequency of mentions of other non-PRC political prisoners. Read about him: \8 https://t.co/3ddlE2z7Fp

Another important period for me was the months in 2017 when Taiwanese rights activist #LeeMingChe was disappeared by China, then sentenced to 5 yrs for subversion of state for charges that were outside of PRC's jurisdiction. Timeline to his case: \7 https://t.co/gA3R54MBLZ
When #Taiwan NGO worker #LeeMingche was in #Chinese black #RSDL jail he had no idea where it was, police put a bag over his head. When he was freed he looked at our #LockedUp report and figured out it was likely in Panyu District, Guangzhou
