China’s crackdown on domestic non-governmental organisations has forced an AIDS activist to quit the group he set up after international funding dried up and some volunteers resigned in the face of intimidation.
Hu Jia’s activism set him on a collision course with the Communist Party, which has stepped up curbs on NGOs, the media, the Internet, lawyers, academics and civil rights campaigners to maintain its grip on power.
Hu announced his resignation from Loving Source — an NGO which he co-founded in 2003 to help orphans of AIDS victims — to prevent authorities from harassing the group.
