Taiwanese activist, found guilty of subversion in China, heads home after five-year prison term
A Taiwanese activist jailed in China returned to Taiwan on Friday after completing a five-year sentence.
Later that year, a Chinese court found him guilty of subversion in a trial that his wife denounced as illegitimate, saying she had not been allowed to hire lawyers for her husband. China’s Taiwan Affairs Office said this week that Li’s sentence would soon be complete and he would be returned to Taiwan.
Li stood trial alongside Chinese national Peng Yuhua, 37, who confessed to creating instant messaging groups and founding an organization that sought to promote political change in China.
