A Chinese court on Friday found activists Sophia Huang Xueqin, an independent journalist known for her role in China’s #MeToo movement, and Wang Jianbing, a labor activist, guilty on charges of “inciting subversion of state power,” according to supporters.
Huang was sentenced to five years in jail and Wang to three and a half years at the Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court after a closed door trial. They have already been held in custody for almost three years and this time served will count toward their sentence.
