Chinese activist Li Qiaochu has faced trial on charges of "inciting subversion of state power," part of China's broader crackdown on dissent. Li's lawyer, Li Guobei, reported being denied entry to the closed-door trial held in Linyi, Shandong. The 32-year-old, in custody since March 2021, potentially faces a prison term of five years or more. The trial concluded without a verdict, as reported by the FreeLiqiaochu Facebook page, a platform tracking updates on the case.
