BEIJING - Chinese lawyer Wang Quanzhang, who was jailed for subversion as part of a nationwide crackdown on legal rights activists, has said he was beaten and kicked during interrogations and forced t

o plead guilty by authorities.

China's criminal procedure law bans extortion of confessions by torture. Wang's remarks suggested that despite false charges, authorities have engaged in illegal investigations to suppress human rights activists under the name of "national security." After being detained in August 2015 in Shandong province for allegedly disturbing public order, Wang was sentenced to prison for subversion of state power by galvanizing anti-government sentiment through the internet.

After being slapped in the face for hours, he was compelled to accept an affidavit stating that he tried to subvert the government by receiving funds from abroad. When he attempted to appeal against the prison sentence, a judiciary official menaced him with the prospect of his jail term being extended to 8 years.
