“Yu said over the past ten years, dozens of human rights lawyers have been arrested by the communist regime, adding that the rule of law and human rights in China has seriously regressed.”
Due to his support of human rights and democracy, he also has been persecuted by the Chinese regime for several years.
“The servile thinking in the Chinese mind is too much, and some people need to walk in the front to lead the Chinese people to achieve freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law,” added Mr. Yu.
