I first met #XuZhiyong in 2007. In April, he was jailed for a second time, this time for 14 years. He’s fasting for a day to commemorate #June4TiananmenMassacre. He’s also calling for us all to do the same. He’s just so courageous.

Many years ago, I was involved in arranging #XuZhiyong to be a speaker of a legal seminar in Hong Kong. I was the only staff of the organisation handling various stuff and was late for several hours to pick up Xu Zhiyong. He didn't complain. He made good points at the seminar. 1/

RT @SteffenWurzel: 🇨🇳 #China​s Staats- und Parteiführung schickt zwei weitere kritische Anwälte für viele Jahre ins Gefängnis: 14 Jahre Haft für #XuZhiyong, 12 Jahre Haft für #DingJiaxi. Ein weiterer heftiger Schlag für Chinas kaum noch vorhandene Zivilgesellschaft.

It’s outrageous and extremely sad to learn about that legal scholar #XuZhiyong and human rights lawyers #DingJiaxi have been sentenced to 14 years and 12 years imprisonment respectively. So heavy sentence for simply expressing their views. #FreeSpeech

Today is #LiQiaochu's birthday! 🎂🥂🎁

We wish we could say happy birthday to her, but, unfortunately, she has been unjustly detained since February, right after she broke the news about how her partner #XuZhiyong and activist #DingJiaxi were tortured
