Human+Rights-ALJN

The Chinese Communist Party opposes all forms of rebellion, whether it be non-violent protests or a different political party. Many leaders of the China Democratic Party have been detained, arrested, and exiled for "conspiring to overthrow the government" after Wang Youcai attempted to register the China Democratic Party officially in 1998. Following the declaration that the CDP was an "illegal orginization", the Supreme People's Court declared that "anyone who knowingly publishes, prints, copies, or distributes material containing incitement to overthrow state power and the socialist system or split the country could be tried for crimes." Life sentences in jail could result from these trials, which ultimately happened to hundreds of the main CDP leaders. The Chinese Communist Party continues to violate countless human rights in China, mainly freedom of speech, by not allowing the CDP to rightfully share our opinions.
