A former Chinese municipal prosecutor has been found guilty of a litany of corruption crimes. What the Chinese authorities failed to reveal was his involvement in human rights abuses.
Liu Li, the former deputy chief of the municipal procuratorate at Jixi City in northern China’s Heilongjiang Province, was found guilty of organizing, participating, and protecting his family’s criminal organization, according to a May 5 announcement released by the Heilongjiang Commission for Discipline Inspection, an anti-corruption party organ that investigates and punishes misbehaving Chinese Communist Party members.
