More strong arming from the communist controllers of china ! Thursday is the actual anniversary of the Tiananmen square uprising ! Saturday there was a big demonstration in Hong Kong About 5000 people marched through the streets ! no incidents as far as I heard !
Timesonline....
Chinese authorities effectively disbarred some of the country’s leading civil rights lawyers yesterday, dealing a blow to a group than has done more to hold the Government to account than any other in recent years.
The lawyers described the move as part of a carefully orchestrated government campaign to prevent them from taking on controversial or high-profile cases. They have faced intimidation, threats and violence in the past to deter them from doing so.
The timing of the move is no coincidence. The 20th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown falls on Thursday and the Government is eager to suppress dissenting voices.
Now it is invalid and he is no longer allowed to work. All such licences were due for renewal by May 31. By the close of business that day his permit, along with those of about 20 other lawyers, had expired without a word from the authorities who regulate the legal profession.
