The Chinese regime sentenced a dissident, who ran a website reporting on human rights abuses, to 12 years in prison for leaking state secrets.
Huang Qi, a citizen reporter, was sentenced on July 29 after being detained for two years. A closed trial was conducted in January.
His sentence is one of the most severe rulings against a dissident since Chinese leader Xi Jinping came to power in 2012.
The 56-year-old was found guilty of leaking state secrets and providing state secrets to foreign entities, according to a statement by Mianyang Intermediate People’s Court in southwest China’s Sichuan Province.
