AP. 22.12.2015 – 02:17h PST After spending months in jail, One of China's most prominent human rights lawyers left a detention center on Tuesday after a Beijing court suspended a prison sentence., after being found guilty in a case involving online comments critical of the ruling Communist Party. The court convicted Pu Zhiqiang of disturbing public order and inciting inter-ethnic hatred, and sentenced him to three years in prison, but added that the sentence will be suspended for three years. Six hours after the hearing, Pu left the N Detention Center 1 from Beijing in the company of his wife and police officials. From the car, Pu dijo en un mensaje de texto enviado a The Associated Press que estaba "sano y salvo". his wife, Meng Qun, wrote: "Él está bien y todavía bajo vigilancia domiciliaria. You need to get healthy, necesita un poco de calma y ajustar el tiempo". Lawyer Shang Baojun said the verdict would not take effect for 10 days, during which Pu can appeal, and that he can be kept in detention or under home surveillance, which can occur in a place other than your home. Since he came to power in 2013, the president of china, Xi Jinping, has led a campaign of repression against civil activists, human rights and online freedom of expression lawyers, in movements aimed at extinguishing any potential threat to the ruling Communist Party. It was good news for Pu supporters, who believe that the case has political motives to punish the lawyer for speaking frankly. Pu has become an emblematic figure among lawyers who defend human rights in China. Pu remained active in defending freedom of expression and defended artist activist Ai Weiwei.. He also sought to end the forced labor camp system..
