Li Zhi (dissident)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Li Zhi was sentenced to eight years imprisonment in December 2003 in the People's Republic of China for trying to join the China Democratic Party, which is a banned organization in communist China, and for criticizing corruption (coincidentally suffering the same fate for the same actions as his name sake). It is alleged that part of the evidence against him, namely details of his e-mail account, was provided by the Hong Kong subsidiary of the Internet company Yahoo! to the Chinese authorities.
