Beijing, Jan.18 (ANI): A veteran Chinese dissident, Zhu Yufu, has been charged with subversion for writing and publishing a poem on the internet, according to his lawyer.
The poem, entitled It's Time, urged people to gather in support of freedom, the China Daily reports.
Zhu's lawyer said no date had been set for the trial.
Chinese officials have not commented on the reported charge.
Zhu was formally arrested last April as China began a wide-ranging clampdown on dissent.
The lawyer, Li Dunyong, said he had collected the indictment on Monday from a court in the eastern city of Hangzhou.
He said Zhu was "in a good condition".
Zhu is a veteran activist who was involved in the 1979 Democracy Wall movement, which pressed for a quicker pace of change in China.
He has been jailed twice before for his activism - in 1999 for seven years and in 2007 for two years. (ANI)
