A prominent Chinese labour activist was sentenced on 20 October to three years in jail for “gathering a crowd to disrupt social order” . Zhao Dongmin was arrested on 19 August last year after organizing more than 380 workers from about 20 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to form a labour rights group tasked with overseeing and monitoring SOE restructuring, and reporting corruption and abuses of power. The Shaanxi Union Rights Defence Representative Congress was formally banned by the city government of Xi’an on 27 July 2009.
