In this photo taken by Ren Quanniu, Ren and other supporters of lawyer Lu Siwei pose for a group photo in Chengdu in southwestern China's Sichuan province, Jan 13, 2021. TAIPEI: A second Chinese lawyer who represented a Hong Kong activist was stripped of his licence on Tuesday as Beijing attempts to crush opposition to its tighter control over the territory.
Ren Quanniu, who represented one of 12 Hong Kong activists who tried to flee to Taiwan, said he had his licence revoked by the Henan Provincial Justice Department.Ten of the 12 activists caught at sea in August were sentenced by a Shenzhen court in December to prison terms ranging from seven months to three years for crossing the border illegally and organising the crossings. The two other activists are minors.
Since the law was introduced in response to anti-government protests that began in 2019, dozens of activists have been arrested or detained.The Henan Judicial Department held a hearing on the licence revocation on Friday in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, according to other lawyers who turned up to support Ren. They were not allowed into the hearing.
Sincerely thanks for his help and assistance. It takes courage and bravery. And yes, being a human rights lawyer is never allowed in China.
My salute to him.
Lawyers in China are only allowed to defend the party, not the people?
chinazi has clearly shown that they do not care about human rights and any other verbal warming from the EU, the US and other countries. So it is time for the biden administration to show more actions to stop the tyrannical acts from ccpchina
Sad to hear that! Thank you for their efforts! save12hkyouths

nancyvictoria It is almost like China has no regard for law. MichaelKovrig MichaelSpavor Canadian hostages in China for over 2 years...
I would like to introduce chrlcg their human rights lawyers who are arrested in 709 crackdown years before
That's CCP. Shut down all ppl will n willing to speak the truth or advice. Respect the lawyer anyway, coz it is very brave to accept that save12hkyouths case, he is living in China in his whole life, he knows how crazy China is, we knows 2, CCP knows. What a man.
He is a great man who is brave enough to fight for justice under CCP.
Why would anyone turn a blind eye to how CCP treats an ordinary citizen who tries only to be professional?
The CCP has contempt (likely linked to fear) of democracy. The biggest thing oppressive regimes fear, the truth getting out.
I respect all rights defence lawyer very much.
