TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A Taipei vigil to commemorate the 28th anniversary of China's Tiananmen Square massacre will draw attention to the case of Taiwanese human rights advocate Lee Ming-che (李明哲), who is being held in China for suspected subversion of state power, organizers of the event said Monday. The vigil will mention Lee's case and highlight the fact that he is not an isolated case, but one of the many victims of China's deteriorating human rights, said Chiu E-ling (邱伊翎), secretary-general of the Taiwan Association for Human Rights (TAHR). The organizers said the Chinese government's oppression of human rights has not ceased, even 28 years after the Tiananmen Square massacre, a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in China in 1989. The Chinese government announced May 26 that Lee had been arrested on charges of "subversion of state power." Beijing has refused to discuss Lee's case with Taiwan's authorities and has ignored requests to allow Lee's family to visit him.
