Early official reports said Dahlin, who lived in Beijing and whose Chinese wife has also been arrested, was being held on \u201csuspicion of endangering national security\u201d. This case represents a chilling new stage in Xi Jinping\u2019s sweeping authoritarian crackdown. It follows the apparent abduction by Chinese security forces of five Hong Kong book publishers \u2013 including another Swedish citizen Gui Minhai who disappeared while in Thailand \u2013 all of whom are now in detention in China.<\/p>\n<p>Swedish authorities were refused access to Dahlin for a fortnight and the Chinese side refused to give information on where he was being held or whether he was receiving medicine for a rare illness. Like many other victims of state repression he has not been allowed to see a lawyer. These actions by the Chinese state contravene international agreements. \u201cThe denial of consular communication is a direct violation of Chinese law and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Furthermore, that the authorities have continued to conceal Peter\u2019s whereabouts could amount to an enforced disappearance, a violation of international law,\u201d said a statement from the NGO that Dahlin works for, Chinese Urgent Action Working Group (CUAWG).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11769\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11769\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2016\/01\/peter-e1453133161894.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11769\" src=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2016\/01\/peter-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"Swedish NGO activist Peter Dahlin arrested in China.\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11769\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swedish NGO activist Peter Dahlin arrested in China.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Against\u00a0\u2018Western values\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dahlin\u2019s case is clearly not an isolated incident and could be connected to at least two other trends in China today, the mass arrest of human rights lawyers and legal workers that began in July last year, and the new \u2018Foreign NGO Management Law\u2019 that Xi\u2019s regime is enacting. This law seeks to block overseas funding for NGOs in China and further hamstring their operations.<\/p>\n<p>These measures are part of the most severe crackdown in China for a quarter century. \u201cChina is entering a dark night of repression and detentions,\u201d says Da Hua Zhao, who is organising a protest demanding Dahlin\u2019s release at the Swedish parliament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe targets are the green shoots of civil society, bloggers, labour activists and others who challenge the control of the dictatorship \u2013 even those who work within the system and haven\u2019t broken any laws. The government wants to show it can do whatever it wants and doesn\u2019t care what other governments or media say,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>With the Chinese dictatorship displaying increasing fears over possible mass unrest \u2013 the crackdown is undoubtedly linked to the latest economic turbulence \u2013 all such groupings are branded in nationalistic terms as representatives of \u2018Western values\u2019. Foreign NGO activists like Dahlin therefore make a useful additional target to underline the regime\u2019s anti-foreigner narrative. \u201cThat Peter is a foreigner points to a serious escalation in this assault on the legal aid profession in China,\u201d a CUAWG spokesperson told the New York Times. Chinese state media report that CUAWG is a \u201cUS-based NGO\u201d \u2013 a claim it says is completely untrue.<\/p>\n<p>Since July, more than 300 lawyers, staff members of law firms, and other activists have been detained and interrogated. In the past week, serious charges have been pressed against ten\u00a0of these lawyers, indicating trials in which\u00a0a guilty verdict will be a foregone conclusion. In China\u2019s court system 98 percent of defendants are found guilty \u2013 100 percent in high profile political trials.\u00a0An open letter published in the Guardian newspaper from 20 international lawyers and jurists expresses the \u2013 reasonable \u2013 fear that the detained lawyers have faced a \u201chigh risk of torture or other cruel and inhumane treatments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cSubversion\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ten lawyers face charges of \u201csubversion of state power\u201d\u00a0\u2013 an extremely serious charge that can lead to a life sentence. Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel Prize winner who was given an 11 year prison sentence in 2009, was charged with the lesser offence of \u201cinciting subversion of state power\u201d. This is a measure of how Xi has raised the stakes as far as state repression is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Those now charged include Wang Yu, who defended one of the \u2018Feminist Five\u2019 who were arrested last March but then released after worldwide protests. Among the others are Wang\u2019s husband Bao Longjun, and Zhou Shifeng, the founder of the Fengrui law firm in Beijing. Fengrui has irked the Chinese dictatorship by assisting victims in sensitive cases such as the toxic milk scandal of 2008, in which 300,000 children were poisoned and eight died.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFengrui and its team of lawyers are now being smashed by the dictatorship. It is a massive frame-up in order to scare others,\u201d says activist Da Hua.<\/p>\n<p>Dahlin\u2019s case could well be linked to the state\u2019s persecution of the human rights lawyers. His friends say he had become worried before his arrest. \u201cHis name had come up in the interrogation of a human rights lawyer a few days prior to his detention,\u201d a co-worker said. According to Sweden\u2019s Radio, Dahlin is now accused of \u201cfinancing criminal activity\u201d \u2013 which can mean anything the Chinese regime disapproves of.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11770\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11770\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2016\/01\/87759493_de26-1-e1453133223717.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11770\" src=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2016\/01\/87759493_de26-1-600x337.jpg\" alt=\"Gui Minhai appears in bizarre scripted TV interview after going missing for 4 months.\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gui Minhai appears in bizarre scripted TV interview after going missing for 4 months.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Hong Kong abductions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The disappearance of five Hong Kong publishers, which has triggered protests and a new political crisis for the territory\u2019s Beijing-appointed government, also represents an escalation of Beijing\u2019s crackdown. As with Dahlin\u2019s arrest it marks the \u2018globalisation\u2019 of Xi\u2019s repression with little regard to how overseas governments may react. The five, who specialise in gossip-style books about the Chinese leadership, have all disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the past four months. They were reportedly planning a new book about Xi Jinping\u2019s sex life, which could have been the trigger for their abduction.<\/p>\n<p>The apparent brains behind the new Xi book, Gui Minhai, who\u00a0became a Swedish citizen while living in Gothenburg, was according to his daughter illegally abducted last October in Thailand. The Thai military junta have close ties with Beijing. Gui made a tearful and obviously scripted appearance on Chinese state television on Sunday, saying he was in China of his own free will and urging the Swedish government not to intervene. He also said he hoped there would be no protests or \u201cmalicious media hype\u201d about his case.<\/p>\n<p>Gui\u2019s TV appearance has all the hallmarks of Stalin\u2019s show trials \u2013 lacking any logic or credibility. He claimed he voluntarily went to China to make amends after absconding ten years ago, when he was given\u00a0a two-year suspended sentence following a fatal car accident. But then why go via Thailand? Why the secrecy\u00a0for four\u00a0months? And in what way does Gui\u2019s story explain the disappearance of his\u00a0his four fellow publishers at the same time? It is a well-known method of the Chinese state \u2013 in addition to torture, extrajudicial confinement and other forms of pressure \u2013 to offer a more lenient punishment\u00a0if a suspect \u2018cooperates\u2019 by incriminating themselves. Studies show that confessions feature heavily in 95 percent of criminal indictments in China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sweden\u2019s \u2018muted\u2019 response<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The use of gangster methods, threats and blackmail to frame its opponents also extends to how the Chinese dictatorship manages relations with other governments. The New York Times notes the response of Swedish authorities has been \u201cmuted\u201d over Dahlin\u2019s disappearance and arrest. Again this is not an isolated occurrence but part of a pattern. Swedish governments have been\u00a0desperate not to upset Beijing and incur economic punishments. Norway\u2019s experience after it awarded the Nobel peace prize to Liu Xiaobo is a case in point \u2013 with China freezing its political relations with Oslo and threatening to boycott Norwegian goods. Subsequently, Norway refused a visit by the Tibetan religious leader, Dalai Lama, in order to please Beijing. David Cameron, the British Prime Minister, promised not to re-offend, after angering Beijing by meeting the Dalai Lama in 2012. Swedish Prime Minister Stefan L\u00f6fven took things one step further on a visit to China last year. Pressed repeatedly by a journalist, L\u00f6fven refused to call China a \u201cdictatorship\u201d preferring to say it was a \u201cone-party state\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The escalation of repression in China, and the latest wave of arrests, must be resisted both at home and internationally. In this struggle Chinese activists can only rely on the support and sympathy of fellow activists and grassroots working people around the world. It is ironic that while the Chinese regime pumps out propaganda claiming foreign capitalist governments want to undermine it and instigate protests in China, these governments prove to be its most reliable allies in seeking to maintain \u201cstability\u201d and failing to protest against vicious authoritarian repression.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11768\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11768\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2016\/01\/288833-e1453133120852.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11768\" src=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2016\/01\/288833-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Swedish PM L\u00f6fven meets Xi Jinping in Beijing, March 2015.\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11768\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swedish PM L\u00f6fven meets Xi Jinping in Beijing, March 2015.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cChina is entering a dark night of repression and detentions under Xi Jinping\u201d \u2013 Chinese activist in Sweden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":11768,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[132,133,148,124],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11767","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-china","8":"category-hong-kong","9":"category-international","10":"category-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
