China Thursday released a well-known dissident after he served more than nine years of a 13-year prison sentence, a Hong Kong-based rights group said.

Veteran activist Liu Xianbin was released from the Chandong prison in the south-western province of Sichuan, the Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said.

Liu, 40, had returned to his family in Sichuan province's Suining city following his early release for good behaviour, the group said.

He was granted a sentence reduction of two years and eight months after working as a teacher at the prison, it said.

Liu was reportedly given an earlier one-year sentence reduction in May 2004.

His sentence was linked to his activities as a leading member of the banned China Democracy Party.

There is mercy and leniency in China. With that, there is hope. 9 years is still too long for a harmless intellectual. The penalty does not correspond to the crime, if any. By locking him up, China has inadvertently locked up many other brains and the good potentials they can bring about for the goodness of that nation. Can be a lose-lose.

Maybe he'll stop accepting US dirty money to subvert the legal Chinese government.

Waiting for him to get caught. Nine years is what he'll hope for.

9mm is probably what he'll get.

Jees, hope not;-)

We can't help anybody untill we control our own brainless nutbars. In the west you can get life and or disappeared for less. Don't believe me visit the American prison system including Gauntanamo Bay or one of the other 600 or so elegle prisons.
