How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World (Paperback)

——————

On August 11, Xie Yang, a lawyer who was arrested and tortured in the 709 crackdown—a nationwide crackdown on Chinese lawyers and human rights activists in 2015—had his lawyer’s license revoked illegally by Hunan Provincial Department of Justice. On August 15, Hunan Lawyer Association also cancelled his membership. At the same time, Xie Yang received threats and intimidation from the local authorities, demanding him not to defend sensitive cases and accept interviews from overseas media. He was threatened with more severe criminal charges if he did not abide by the rules.

Since Xie Yang started to work as a lawyer in 2011, he represented a large number of human rights cases and Falun Gong cases, and was also concerned about human rights campaigns. He was suppressed by the government because of this. He was arrested on July 11 during the 709 crackdown.

In January 2017, Xie Yang’s defense attorney, Chen Jiangang, published a “Transcript of the meeting with Xie Yang” disclosing the torture Xie received during his detention. In May of the same year, Xie Yang was bailed out. On December 26, 2017, Xie Yang was formally sentenced by the Changsha People’s Intermediate Court for the so-called “crime of inciting subversion of state power” and was exempted from criminal punishment.

Xie Yang continued saying: “After I got out, I represented many cases that they believe are sensitive. They have also threatened and intimidated me through various means not to represent any more cases and not to accept interviews from foreign media during the process of handling the case. Through various means, they said that if I continued to expose their illegal and criminal actions, they would press more severe criminal charges against me.”

Xie Yang believes that in the past, the CCP was more afraid to cross the line because the international community, the United Nation, and foreign media were highly concerned about the suppression of human rights lawyers in China. But since the current relations between China and the U.S. and other western countries are tense, the CCP does not care as much about the solidarity he received from international human rights organizations, so he’s expecting to suffer more.
