Taiwanese human rights activist Lee Ming-che (李明哲), who is accused of subverting state power, a Chinese official confirmed Saturday.
Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Ma Xiaoguang (馬曉光) confirmed the hearing to reporters and said Lee’s lawyer had informed his family of the matter.
Although Ma did not give other details, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Chiu Chui-cheng (邱垂正) said a day earlier that a verdict will be announced during the session at the Yueyang City Intermediate People’s Court in Hunan Province, citing a message Lee’s family members received from his lawyer.
On Sept. 11, Lee pleaded guilty in what was seen as a forced confession to the charge at a hearing at the court. [FULL STORY]
