Ya escribí hace unos meses sobre la epidemia tan grave de SIDA que vivía China, totalmente silenciada por el régimen comunista y por la prensa internacional. Pues bien, ahora el régimen comunista ha tenido a bien poner bajo arresto domiciliario sumarísimo y acusar formalmente por "incitar a la subversión" al activista pro-democracia y Derechos Humanos y luchador para que se sepa fuera de China la verdad sobre la epidemia, Hu Jia. El arresto afectaba también a su mujer, la también activista Zeng Jinyan y su hija de dos meses de edad.
China AIDS Activist Hu Jia Formally Charged For “inciting subversion” from Status of Chinese People:
"Reporters Without Borders said today it was outraged by the charge of “inciting subversion of state power” made against dissident Hu Jia, who has been held secretly in Beijing for more than a month.Status of Chinese People ya había publicado un vídeo sobre el asunto: el activista había sido recluido en su domicilio con su bebé de 2 meses y sin poder salir ni siquiera para poder comer.
His family was notified in writing yesterday by the prosecutor’s office that Hu Jia, who is suffering from liver disease, was to be put on trial. He risks a harsh prison sentence.
“Are the authorities in Beijing so deaf that they have not heard the appeals for clemency for Hu Jia, from China and the rest of the world?” the worldwide press freedom organisation asked.
“This charge is an insult to the diplomatic efforts of many countries who have expressed their views following the arrest of this free expression activist, six months ahead of the Olympic Games,” it added.
A spokesperson for Chinese Human Rights Defenders confirmed to Reporters Without Borders that Hu Jia’s family had been told about the charge on 30 January, just two days before the end of the legal time limit for being held in custody."
El año 2006 ya había sido detenido por la policía durante 41 días por protestar contra la brutalidad policial china:

Beijing-based AIDS activist Hu Jia, who suffers from hepatitis B, was seized by officers from the internal security department of the city's police force on Feb. 16. He was driven with a hood over his head to a rural resort, held without his medication, and questioned for 41 days after taking part in a rolling hunger strike to protest police brutality in China.
Fue detenido, conducido a un lugar en medio del campo con un capuchón sobre su cabeza, mantenido sin medicación y cuestionado durante 41 días después de tomar parte en una huelga de hambre para protestar contra la brutalidad policial en China.
Una razón más para boicotear los JJOO de Pekín 2008.
