Human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng’s defense attorney, Mo Shaoping, has recently learned that Gao was formally arrested on September 21 on “suspicion of inciting subversion of state power."

Catholics Arrested After Vatican Trip

According to information confirmed by the authorities, two leaders of an underground Catholic church, Shao Zhumin (邵祝敏) and Jiang Sunian (姜溯念), were arrested in Shenzhen on September 25 as they entered the country after visiting the Vatican. The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said they were accused of illegally leaving China by using other people’s identities and would likely face sentences of about one year in prison. China does not normally grant passports to clergy from underground Catholic churches, to prevent them from having contact with the Vatican.

Rights activist Yang Maodong (杨茂东), also known as Guo Feixiong (郭飞雄), was formally arrested on September 28, after being taken into police custody more than two weeks ago, according to his wife. He is being held for allegedly running an illegal business. His wife said that the arrest was a trick in order to prevent them from applying for bail for her husband, which was scheduled for September 29. Guo was involved in helping villagers in Taishi Village, Guangdong Province to recall their headman due to corruption allegations last year, for which he was arrested and held for nearly four months.
