Christian Lawyer in China Convicted of ‘Inciting Subversion’
A Beijing court convicted Chinese human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng of “inciting subversion†on Tuesday (December 12) after he was said to have mysteriously entered a “guilty†plea, according to reports.
Compass Direct News reports that advocacy group Human Rights in China and Asia News questioned the credibility of the guilty plea, as Gao’s family and attorney were not informed that he had been put on trial until the proceedings were over.
The trial at Beijing’s No. 1 People’s Intermediate Court lasted less than a day.
