Freed Taiwan activist recounts 'fascist circus' of Chinese court

Taiwan human rights activist Lee Ming-che, who spent five years inside a Chinese prison on "subverting state power", recounts his ordeal.

"My arrest in 2017 was inevitable because China wants to crack down on foreign civic societies' contact with its domestic civic groups," Lee explains.

Lee was demanded to confess to being an agent hired by the Taiwanese government, hinting that doing so would lead to a swifter release. He said he refused to betray his country and therefore eventually admitted to the personal subversion charge.
