A veteran of China’s 1989 pro-democracy movement was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison after writing Internet essays critical of the communist government, a monitoring center said.
Li Jianping(李建平） was convicted of subversion by a court in the eastern city of Zibo in Shandong province, the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said. Li was detained in May 2005, according to his family.
Li, who operated a medical supply company, had posted essays online that criticized the government over issues including efforts to enact an anti-subversion law in Hong Kong, the Information Center said.
