CHINA: HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER UNFAIRLY IMPRISONED
Human rights activist Chen Guangcheng is serving a prison sentence for 'damaging property' and 'disrupting traffic' after a grossly unfair trial. He first fell foul of the Shandong province authorities after drawing attention to an illegal campaign of forced abortion and sterilisation which affected thousands of women. A self-trained legal adviser, Chen Guangcheng had been helping villagers prepare a lawsuit against the local authority responsible.
