Agence France-Presse, March 29, 2011

Sichuan activists Ding Mao (丁矛) and Ran Yunfei (冉云飞) have been formally arrested on charges of "inciting subversion of state power." Both men were detained a few days before China's first Jasmine Rally on February 27. Their families were formally notified of the charges on Monday, March 28. Ding, who was previously imprisoned for his involvement in the 1989 Democracy Movement, had passed on information about the Jasmine Rallies. Ran is a well-known blogger and independent intellectual and was amongst the first signers of Charter 08. Ding and Ran are the first of many activists detained in the clampdown surrounding the Jasmine Rallies to be formally charged.

China Activist Liu Xianbin Jailed for 10 years
British Broadcasting Corporation, March 25, 2011
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12859050

Veteran Sichuan democracy activist Liu Xianbin (刘贤斌) was tried and sentenced today on charges of “inciting subversion of state power” by the Suining Municipal Intermediate People’s Court. Liu has been sentenced to serve ten years’ imprisonment and two years and four months’ deprivation of political rights. Liu, who was also amongst the first signers of Charter 08, was detained in June 2010 in Suining, Sichuan Province. Liu Xianbing was imprisoned for two-and-a-half years in 1992 on charges of “counterrevolutionary propaganda and incitement” and again for thirteen years (released three years, eight months early) in 1999 on charges of “subversion of state power”.
