China: CCP Shuts Down Law Firm Which Defended Activists in Hong Kong
Another attack on those who dare to help activists of any kind. This has been China's Communist Party's response to anyone or anything that does not stay in lock step with the CCP.

China Orders Law Firm Linked to Hong Kong 12 to Dissolve

A law firm linked to the case of 12 Hong Kong activists jailed in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong has announced it will shut down, while one of the defense attorneys who spoke out about the case has been issued with a travel ban, RFA has learned.

Lu Siwei and Ren Quanniu both had their licenses to practise law revoked earlier this year after they were hired by two of the defendants' families.

The activists were intercepted by the China Coast Guard on Aug. 23, 2020 as they tried to flee Hong Kong. They are believed to have been heading for the democratic island of Taiwan.

Lu and Ren spoke regularly to the media about being barred from meeting with their clients, and about the huge political pressure brought to bear on their colleagues by local ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.

Now, Ren's law firm, the Henan Railway Law Firm, has announced it will close, he told RFA on Monday.

"Our boss was told by a vice chairman of the [CCP-controlled] lawyers' association on behalf of the bureau of judicial affairs that all of our lawyers are required to transfer to other firms, and that the firm must dissolve of its own free will," Ren said.

The law had been a last bastion of public interest and human rights cases in China, where the CCP has been clamping down on this segment of the legal profession since launching a nationwide campaign of arrests and investigations in July 2015.

Ren said the closure was linked to the revocation of his license.

The CCP has a rich history of repressing lawyers who defend people the CCP has wronged, and stifling or destroying any voices outside of the CCP

Isn't it though?

Xi embarked on his Zero Out policy toward Falun Gong in 2020, and what it amounts to is enhanced and accelerated persecution year round, with an aim to reducing the number of practitioners to zero. Given the number of people who were practicing Falun Gong in 1999 (60 to 100 million), when Jianag Zemin began his campaign to wipe out Falun Gong, the strongly hints of a genocide campaign, as millions of Chinese still practice it.

If any other country had made it a policy to entirely wipe out a group of their people, not even hiding it, the world's press would be up in arms, but crickets is all we hear.


This shows the world wide infection of Chinese Communism. It does not bode well for the world for so many people to be tolerating and even accepting of such evil.

I am so glad to see so many GLPers who do not support this evil and who speak out ahainst it. hf
