Another Chinese dissident, Yang Chunlin, who called for human rights to take precedence over the Olympic Games, was sentenced to five years in jail on charges of inciting subversion in late March. His wife, Zeng Jinyan and their infant daughter remain under house arrest, with their telephone line cut off. During the court sentencing, Zeng Jinyan was present under police escort.
It's imperative to point out that the Tibetan oppression is not an isolated incident in China's recent history. The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, in which estimated hundreds of civilians were killed by the Chinese military, were not so very long ago. China's one-child rule, however well-intentioned, created social problems the country is still facing. The Chinese government has been corrupt for years and is still abusing its power. Freedom of the press is far from widespread.
