Beijing, Apr 11 (ANI): A disabled rights activist and her husband were reportedly sentenced to jail by a Chinese court Tuesday on grounds of "provoking trouble."
Ni Yulan, who has been using a wheelchair since 2002, after she was crippled from abuse in a Chinese prison, along with her husband was sentenced to two years and eight months on separate charges of fraud and "picking quarrels, provoking trouble and willfully destroying private and public property.
"This is completely unfair, I urge the government to release my parents," Fox News quoted the couple's daughter, Dong Xuan , as saying, after the verdict was read.
Ni and Dong, who have long helped victims of government-backed land grabs in China, were convicted by the Chinese court after they refused to pay an 11,000 dollar (69,000 yuan) bill for a hotel where police placed them in June 2010, post Ni's release from her previous two-year jail sentence.
Their lawyer Cheng Hai, said, "We believe this verdict is unfair and a violation of the law." (ANI)
