A prominent Chinese human rights lawyer who used to act for artist Ai Weiwei has been charged with inciting ethnic hatred and “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” – offences that carry a 10-year jail sentence.
Pu Zhiqiang has been in detention in China for more than a year, with no access to his family, but he has been allowed visits from his lawyers, including this month.
He was arrested in 2014 in the runup to the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, after attending a seminar about the crackdown with journalists, lawyers, scholars and activists.
