Chengdu-based rights activist Huang Qi (黄琦) was sentenced this morning to three years’ imprisonment on charges of "illegal possession of state secrets." This sentence comes over three months after he was tried in a closed hearing on August 5, 2009. Huang, who is the founder of Tianwang Human Rights Centre (www.64tianwang.com), was detained on June 10, 2008, by authorities after participating in Sichuan earthquake relief activities and researching and publishing news about the plight of parents who had lost children in the quake and its aftermath. He was formally arrested on July 18, 2008.
