Hu Jia was sentenced in an absurd trial to 3.5 years in prison. Blogging is not a CRIME! The so-called six online essays that constitute Hu Jia's so-called "crime" were not produced during the trial, which means Hu was convicted in the absence of evidence. However, many people assume The Real China and The Olympics is one, if not the only one, of the essays on which Beijing's decision was based. Amnesty International is gravely concerned that the Chinese authorities are putting pressure on human rights activist Hu Jia to plead guilty to crimes against national security. This comes on the day of the six-month countdown to the Beijing Olympics on 8 August 2008 and is the latest attempt by the authorities to silence domestic activists' public criticism of China's human rights record.
