China: Liu Jingshen released after twelve years

IFEX reveals that "Chinese authorities are reportedly about to release dissident and founder of the underground magazine "Tansuo" ("Investigation") Liu Jingsheng, on 27 November. Liu has been imprisoned since 28 May 1992. The surprise commute in his sentence would appear to be a conciliatory gesture towards the international community, Human rights organisations in China, have said."
