SHANGHAI MAN GETS RELATIVELY LIGHT SENTENCE IN INTERNET CASE
A Chinese court has given a two-year jail sentence to Lin Hai, the
30-year-old owner of a computer software company in Shanghai, for selling
30,000 e-mail addresses to the Washington, D.C.-based electronic publication
VIP Reference, which is critical of the Chinese government. Although the
charge on which Lin Hai was judged guilty was "inciting the subversion of
state sovereignty," his wife insisted that he had sold the addresses without
knowing that they were being used for anti-government purposes. The
sentence is part of a renewed government crackdown against dissidents, but
it is significantly lighter that other recent sentences for similar
offenses. (Washington Post 20 Jan 99)
