Lu Siwei -- together with another rights lawyer Ren Quanniu -- was appointed by families of two of the "Hong Kong 12", a group intercepted last August trying to flee the city by boat for Taiwan.
Chinese authorities did not recognise the two lawyers appointed by the families, and Lu was denied access to the defendants in mainland China. Lu said after the ruling on Friday that handling a number of sensitive cases had "marked my destiny". Lu told AFP before the hearing that he believed the notice was "just a cover" and that the Hong Kong case was likely a decisive factor behind the revocation.
