Radio Free Asia, June 09, 2010
http://www.rfa.org/cantonese/news/China-verdict-06092010100630.html

The Sichuan Provincial Higher People’s Court has upheld the sentence of five years’ imprisonment and three years’ deprivation of political rights of Tan Zuoren (谭作人), the Sichuan environmental activist and writer convicted of “inciting subversion of state power.” The decision was announced on June 9, 2010, in a 12-minute-long hearing held in the Chengdu Municipal Intermediate People’s Court, the court that originally tried Tan on August 12, 2009. In the appeal statement he filed after the original guilty verdict, Tan declared: “I am not guilty; I don’t accept [the verdict]; I protest; I appeal.”
