The trial of Sichuan-based writer and environmentalist Tan Zuoren (谭作人) was scheduled to begin Friday morning in the Chengdu Intermediate Court, but eleven supporters of Tan were detained – and two beaten – by police to prevent them from attending the trial. Tan, who has been accused of “subversion of state power,” was detained in March 2009; he was investigating the students who were victims of the May 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the sub-standard construction of the collapsed schools. In February 2009, he wrote a proposal, “5.12 Student Archive,” which called on volunteers to travel to Sichuan to document the cases.

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination began its review of China's progress in implementing its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination on August 7; the Committee will conclude its review on August 10. Before the Committee on August 7, Director General of the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duan Jielong accused the 2008 unrest in Tibet and 2009 unrest in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region on "separatists abroad." Members of the Committee posed questions including those on economic investment in ethnic minority regions and the teaching of minority languages; China is to respond to these questions today.

Officials have not provided a reason for his detention.
