Rights group says several Chinese ‘white paper’ protestors still in detention

SHANGHAI, Jan 26 — Several demonstrators who were apprehended for publicly protesting China’s then-ongoing zero-Covid policy remain in detention, face charges or have not been heard from, Human Rights Watch said in a report today.

Some protestors also shouted slogans calling for the ouster of President Xi Jinping or the ruling Communist Party. Human Rights Watch researchers cited four protestors in Beijing - editor Cao Zhixin, accountant Li Yuanjing, teacher Zhai Dengrui, and journalist Li Siqi - as having been formally arrested for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, which can carry a sentence of up to five years.
