在押政治犯、异议人士

被囚五年不低头:香港大律师邹幸彤今日迎来国安案裁决(2026.08.21)

「被囚五年不低头:香港大律师邹幸彤今日迎来国安案裁决(2026.08.21)」邹幸彤,1985年1月24日出生于香港,是香港大律师、人权捍卫者及前香港市民支援爱国民主运动联合会(支联会)副主席。

她曾在英国剑桥大学学习自然科学和地球物理学,并继续从事地震研究。后来,她放弃原来的学术道路,返回香港学习法律,成为大律师,长期关注中国大陆及香港的人权问题,并为因参与社会运动而遭到检控的人士提供法律协助。

2016年,邹幸彤出任支联会副主席。支联会成立于1989年,长期要求平反八九民运、追究六四镇压责任、释放中国政治犯,并连续30多年在香港举办六四烛光晚会。

《香港国安法》实施后,六四晚会遭到禁止,支联会也成为当局重点打压的对象。2021年6月4日,邹幸彤因呼吁香港市民以自己的方式悼念六四而被捕;同年9月8日,她因拒绝向国安警察提交支联会成员、财务及活动资料再次被捕。

面对当局的压力,她没有妥协。她否认支联会是所谓“外国代理人”,也拒绝配合港警对民间组织的大规模资料搜集。即使明知拒绝服从可能令自己失去自由,她仍然选择坚持自己的判断,并为此付出了长期被囚的代价。

随后,邹幸彤与支联会前主席李卓人、前副主席何俊仁及支联会,被控“煽动颠覆国家政权”。控方把支联会长期提出的“结束一党专政”等政治纲领,指控为煽动他人颠覆中国国家政权。

从2021年9月被捕至今,邹幸彤已经被持续还押近五年。法院十多次拒绝她的保释申请,案件也一再延期。面对漫长的囚禁、孤立和最高10年监禁的威胁,她始终拒绝认罪,也没有宣布退出公共事务或放弃原来的政治主张。

在法庭上,具有大律师资格的邹幸彤多次亲自为自己辩护。她坚持指出,支联会数十年来一直通过和平方式表达诉求;悼念六四、追究镇压责任、要求政治改革以及主张结束一党专政,属于言论、结社和政治表达自由。

香港时间2026年8月21日,香港高等法院将对支联会“煽动颠覆国家政权”案作出裁决。裁决前夕,邹幸彤通过其Patreon专页感谢外界一直以来的支持和祝福,并表示“公道自在人心”,不需要仰望这种从上而下的判决。她同时披露,自案件开审后,香港惩教署改变了押送方式,每次出庭均为她同时戴上手铐、脚铐、腰链和脚链,再由惩教人员以铁链牵引押送。特制手铐和腰链将她的手腕及上身固定,迫使她在从大榄女惩教所前往西九龙法院的途中持续缩肩、弯背和屈腕;加上还要携带沉重的法庭文件,手铐会深深压入手腕,留下整天无法消退的勒痕。即使承受这样的痛苦,她仍将往后的押送形容为锻炼身体耐受力的“初阶训练”。

由于邹幸彤和李卓人至今仍然拒绝认罪,如果罪名成立,两人可能面临最高10年监禁。

“Unbowed After Five Years Behind Bars: Hong Kong Barrister Chow Hang-tung Faces Verdict in National Security Trial Today (2026.08.21)”

Chow Hang-tung, born in Hong Kong on January 24, 1985, is a Hong Kong barrister, human rights defender, and former vice-chair of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, commonly known as the Hong Kong Alliance.

She studied natural sciences and geophysics at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom before pursuing research in seismology. She later left academia, returned to Hong Kong to study law, and qualified as a barrister. She has long been involved in human rights issues in mainland China and Hong Kong and has provided legal assistance to people prosecuted for participating in social movements.

In 2016, Chow became vice-chair of the Hong Kong Alliance. Founded in 1989, the organization long called for the vindication of the 1989 pro-democracy movement, accountability for the June Fourth crackdown, and the release of political prisoners in China. For more than three decades, it organized Hong Kong’s annual June Fourth candlelight vigil.

Following the imposition of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the June Fourth vigil was banned and the Hong Kong Alliance became a major target of the authorities. On June 4, 2021, Chow was arrested after calling on Hong Kong residents to commemorate June Fourth in their own ways. She was arrested again on September 8 of that year after refusing to provide national security police with information about the Alliance’s members, finances, and activities.

Chow refused to bow to pressure from the authorities. She rejected allegations that the Hong Kong Alliance was a so-called “foreign agent” and refused to cooperate with the Hong Kong police’s sweeping demands for information about a civil society organization. Even though she knew that defiance could cost her freedom, she stood by her judgment—and has paid for it with years of imprisonment.

Chow, former Alliance chair Lee Cheuk-yan, former vice-chair Albert Ho, and the Alliance itself were subsequently charged with “incitement to subversion of state power.” Prosecutors alleged that the Alliance’s longstanding political objectives, including “ending one-party dictatorship,” amounted to inciting others to subvert China’s state power.

Chow has remained in pretrial detention for nearly five years since her arrest in September 2021. The courts have denied her bail applications more than ten times, while her trial has repeatedly been postponed. Despite prolonged imprisonment, isolation, and the threat of up to ten years in prison, she has steadfastly refused to plead guilty or renounce her political convictions.

A qualified barrister, Chow has represented herself in court on multiple occasions. She has maintained that the Hong Kong Alliance pursued its demands peacefully for decades, and that commemorating June Fourth, seeking accountability for the crackdown, advocating political reform, and calling for an end to one-party rule are protected exercises of freedom of expression, association, and political participation.

On August 21, 2026, Hong Kong time, the Hong Kong High Court will deliver its verdict in the Alliance’s “incitement to subversion” case. On the eve of the verdict, Chow thanked the public for its longstanding support and well wishes through her Patreon page. She wrote that “justice resides in the hearts of the people” and that there was no need to look up to such a top-down judgment.

Chow also revealed that the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department had changed the way she was transported after the trial began. For every court appearance, she was restrained with handcuffs, ankle cuffs, a waist chain, and a leg chain, and escorted by correctional officers pulling an iron chain. The specially designed handcuffs and waist chain immobilized her wrists and upper body, forcing her to keep her shoulders hunched, her back bent, and her wrists flexed throughout the journey from Tai Lam Centre for Women to the West Kowloon court. Because she also had to carry heavy court documents, the handcuffs dug deeply into her wrists, leaving marks that remained visible throughout the day. Despite the pain, she described the future journeys as “elementary training” to build her physical endurance.

Chow Hang-tung and Lee Cheuk-yan continue to plead not guilty. If convicted, they could each face up to ten years in prison.

Translation: “Human Rights Defender Shen Aibin, Known for Rescuing Petitioners, Detained Again (Oct. 31, 2025)”

On October 31, Jiangsu-based dissident Shen Aibin, known for his repeated efforts to assist petitioners, was criminally detained by the Liangxi Branch of the Wuxi Municipal Public Security Bureau on charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” He is currently being held at the Wuxi Detention Center.

On the afternoon of October 27, Shen accompanied petitioner Pu Xingdi to the Dongting Police Station of the Xishan Branch of the Wuxi Public Security Bureau to request a formal summons document. There, he was reportedly beaten by police officers and hospitalized due to his injuries. On the afternoon of October 30, Wuxi police raided Shen’s home and forcibly took him away.

Born on October 15, 1973, in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, Shen is a veteran, a former member of the Chinese Communist Party, and former squad leader of the Urban Management Bureau in Xishan District, Wuxi. He later became a citizen journalist and human rights defender. Shen has been repeatedly arrested and imprisoned for defending his own rights and for his involvement in rescuing petitioners from unlawful detention.

On June 23, 2013, Shen, along with Ding Hongfen, Shen Guodong, and over 20 others, launched an operation to rescue petitioners detained in a “black jail” at the Dongjiao Hotel in Wuxi, successfully freeing five individuals. Three days later, police took him from his home.

因组建旨在推翻中共的“民胜党”而被重判的六勇士

2024年4月,因组建旨在推翻中共独裁政权的“中国民主胜利党”(下称“民胜党”),唐高峰、王威、周丹、王一飞、刘振刚、代露被四川省泸州市中级人民法院以“颠覆国家政权罪”判处有期徒刑,刑期从3年至12年不等。这是近年来中共镇压有组织反共的一起典型事件。

四川德阳鑫科木业有限公司退休工人唐高峰,在2008年在出国工作生活期间,接触并深入了解西方民主国家的政治制度后,萌生了在中国境内创立民主党派、推动中国走向真正民主宪政的想法。他为构想中的党派起名“中国民主胜利党”,并撰写了党纲、党章,设计了党徽。自2009年起,唐高峰在网络上广交朋友,并与志同道合、热忱且有较强行动力的王一飞、王威、刘振刚、周丹、代露等人共同筹建“民胜党”。

2011年10月初,在唐高峰出资支持下,“民胜党”第一届中央委员会在四川成都成华区召开。会议由唐高峰主持,通过了推翻中国共产党领导、改变社会主义制度等纲领性文件,确定了组织管理架构:唐高峰任主席,王威任副主席,其余成员分别担任组织部长、军事部长、农民部长等职务。

会后,“民胜党”成员开始赴境外谋求注册,发展组织成员,并宣传反共理念。期间,王威曾前往香港和台湾寻求政治和资金支持并办理政党注册,但未成功。王一飞、刘振刚、周丹则在唐高峰的资助下,通过“脸书”“推特”等境外社交平台和网站宣传“民胜党”成立信息和政治纲领,呼吁推翻中共独裁政权。

2011年至2015年,王一飞在博讯网建立“民胜党”专栏,先后发布《“民胜党”政治章程》《告全国人民书》及“民胜党第一届中央委员会”开幕词、闭幕词等多篇文章。2013年4月,王一飞曾在湖北省潜江市张贴反共标语,并拍照上传到“民胜党”网站。

2014年,代露通过周丹结识唐高峰并加入“民胜党”,在唐高峰的资助下积极物色和发展组织成员。

截至2015年底,唐高峰共为“民胜党”出资40.63万元。2016年起,唐高峰不再为“民胜党”提供资金,并停止了相关活动。

2022年5月至9月期间,四川泸州当局突然抓捕了十余名“民胜党”成员,制造了著名的“泸州2022大抓捕案”。2024年4月,泸州中级法院作出判决,判处唐高峰、王威、王一飞、周丹、刘振刚、代露六人12年至3年不等的有期徒刑。同年12月,四川省高级人民法院终审维持原判。

“The Six Heroes of the ‘Minsheng Party’ Heavily Sentenced for Forming a Party Aimed at Overthrowing the CCP”

In April 2024, Tang Gaofeng, Wang Wei, Zhou Dan, Wang Yifei, Liu Zhengang, and Dai Lu were sentenced by the Luzhou Intermediate People’s Court in Sichuan Province to prison terms ranging from three to twelve years for “subverting state power,” due to their involvement in forming the China Democratic Victory Party (hereafter “Minsheng Party”), which aimed to overthrow the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) dictatorship. This case represents a typical example in recent years of the CCP’s crackdown on organized anti-communist activity.

Tang Gaofeng, a retired worker from Sichuan Deyang Xinke Wood Industry Co., developed the idea of establishing a democratic political party in China and promoting a genuine constitutional democracy after being exposed to the political systems of Western democracies while working abroad in 2008. He named the proposed party the China Democratic Victory Party, drafted its program and constitution, and designed its emblem. From 2009, Tang expanded his network online and, together with like-minded, committed, and action-oriented individuals—Wang Yifei, Wang Wei, Liu Zhengang, Zhou Dan, and Dai Lu—began to organize the Minsheng Party.

In early October 2011, with Tang Gaofeng’s financial support, the first Central Committee of the Minsheng Party convened in Chenghua District, Chengdu, Sichuan. Chaired by Tang, the meeting approved programmatic documents calling for the overthrow of CCP leadership and the transformation of the socialist system, and established the organizational structure: Tang Gaofeng as Chairman, Wang Wei as Vice Chairman, and the other members as Ministers of Organization, Military Affairs, and Agriculture.

Afterward, Minsheng Party members sought registration abroad, recruited members, and promoted anti-CCP ideas. During this period, Wang Wei traveled to Hong Kong and Taiwan to seek political and financial support and attempted party registration, but without success. Wang Yifei, Liu Zhengang, and Zhou Dan, funded by Tang, used foreign social media platforms and websites such as Facebook and Twitter to publicize the establishment of the Minsheng Party and its political program, calling for the overthrow of the CCP dictatorship.

From 2011 to 2015, Wang Yifei created a Minsheng Party column on Boxun.com, publishing multiple articles including the “Minsheng Party Political Charter,” the “Letter to the People of China,” and opening and closing remarks of the first Central Committee. In April 2013, Wang Yifei posted anti-CCP slogans in Qianjiang City, Hubei Province, and uploaded photos to the Minsheng Party website.

In 2014, Dai Lu joined the Minsheng Party through Zhou Dan and, with Tang’s support, actively recruited new members.

By the end of 2015, Tang Gaofeng had contributed a total of 406,300 RMB to the Minsheng Party. From 2016, Tang ceased funding and party-related activities.

Between May and September 2022, authorities in Luzhou, Sichuan, suddenly arrested more than ten Minsheng Party members, in what became known as the Luzhou 2022 Mass Arrest Case. In April 2024, the Luzhou Intermediate Court sentenced Tang Gaofeng, Wang Wei, Wang Yifei, Zhou Dan, Liu Zhengang, and Dai Lu to prison terms ranging from 3 to 12 years. In December of the same year, the Sichuan High Court upheld the original verdicts.
