The concern of Chinese authorities faced calls to emulate the "jasmine revolution" continues to grow. One hundred people have been arrested or placed under house arrest without having necessarily a link with the calls made on a site abroad. Five individuals, Ran Yunfei, Ding Mao, Hua Chunhui, Wei Chen and Liang Haiya, have been charged with breach of state security and incitement to subversion.
These crimes are punishable by up to ten years imprisonment. Some of them have posted messages on this appeal on their microblog and they were arrested, reports the site Weiquan Wang, an offshoot of the China Human Rights Defenders organization based in Hong Kong. Three lawyers, Teng Biao, Tang Jitian Jiang Tianyong, and a defender of human rights, Gu Chuan, are also missing, the site adds.
