A court in central China's Hubei Province on Friday sentenced a man to three
years in prison for using the Internet as a tool to instigate subversion of the
state power.
The man, 40-year-old Du Daobin, was also deprived of his political rights for
two years by the Xiaogan Intermediate People's Court in the trial of first
instance.
The court found that Du wrote and posted 26 articles on the Internet from May
2002 to October 2003, inciting to subvert the state power and overthrow the
socialist system. He was arrested in November 2003.
During investigations and judicial inquiry, Du confessed his criminal
activities. Du, who worked with the medical insurance office of Yingcheng City
before his arrest in, accepted funds from overseas organizations and
individuals, and in return helped them post articles harmful to state security
on domestic websites.
Du was accused of violating the criminal law and harming the society. He
confessed to the facts of his crime in the trial with the defense of his lawyer.
The court, giving consideration to Du's cooperation with the court and
repentance, meted out this lenient verdict.
