Greetings,

Hu Ji, a leading Chinese activist has been sentenced to 3.5 years for "subverting the state's political and socialist system."

Ji, wrote five articles about HIV, the environment and human rights. He gave two interviews to foreign journalists.

He "confessed" according to state media.

The government continues to harden their position against dissent.

Peace.
