\n<\/i> (Tianjin, China\u2014Jan. 14, 2016) China Aid learned today that authorities in China\u2019s northern Tianjin Municipality formally arrested a Beijing church elder and democracy activist for \u201csubversion of state power\u201d on Jan. 8, according to an arrest notice received by the man\u2019s family members.<\/p>\n

Hu Shigen, an elder of Yahebo Church in Beijing and long-time democracy activist, was detained on July 10 in connection with the nation-wide crackdown <\/span>on legal professionals. Hu Shigen has faced trouble with the government for his pro-democracy actions for more than 20 years, during which time he served 16 years of a 20-year prison sentence. Hu Shigen\u2019s brother, Hu Shuigen, supplied China Aid with a photo of Hu Shigen\u2019s arrest notice, below.<\/p>\n

News of Hu Shigen\u2019s arrest comes only a day after news of the formal arrest of Wang Yu and her husband Bao Longjun, both prominent human rights lawyers. International media also reported that human rights lawyers Zhou Shifeng, Wang Quanzhang, Xie Yang and Xie Yanyi were formally charged recently<\/span>. Authorities initially detained all six lawyers during the July crackdown.<\/p>\n

China Aid reports on cases like Hu Shigen\u2019s and others like him in order to expose the Chinese government\u2019s abuses against its citizens and promote rule of law in China.<\/p>\n
