Village admin. sentenced 2 years in jail for forwarding & posting "negative information"


Ren Jianyu, a village administrator and former university student in Yushan town, Pengshui county in Chongqing, was sentenced to 2 years in a forced labor camp for forwarding and posting messages about political reform.


The detention book states that from April to August of 2011, Ren Jianyu continued in forwarding and publishing negative messages, which related to freedom of speech or promoting a democratic political system. Ren even asked his girlfriend to book a T-shirt with the printing of "Freedom or die"(not exactly words) for him. And all of these became the evidence of his crime.

Ren's story was nothing peculiar in the present China, but it is astonishing to hear that one policeman's comment to him: How would a normal man think so (i.e. freedom and liberty)? This comment was really astonishing, which indicated what a heavy brainwashing for Mainland Chinese! The policeman, actually with so many Chinese, did not realize how important the freedom and liberty are, and they are just like a herd of pigs, knowing nothing but eating and sleeping, waiting for their master's slaughter.
