Press Release: Dui Hua Obtains New Information on Long-Serving Prisoners from Local Authorities

Since its establishment in 1999, The Dui Hua Foundation has worked to uncover accounts of political cases in China in official publications available from public libraries, in bookstores, and, increasingly, on the Internet in such places as court websites. It has done so both as an exercise in promoting transparency and as an expression of humanitarian concern for individuals detained in political cases. To date, Dui Hua has found information about nearly 2,000 political cases involving more than 4,200 detainees. All of these cases took place after 1980, the year China’s current criminal law came into effect. In official sources alone, Dui Hua has found the names of 250 individuals presently serving sentences for counterrevolution or endangering state security. read more >>
