Another Chinese dissident on trial for subversion (AP)

BEIJING ? A Hong Kong-based human rights group says another Chinese dissident has been tried for inciting subversion.

The Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said in a faxed statement that writer Zhu Yufu's trial happened Tuesday morning in the eastern city of Hangzhou, with no verdict immediately announced.

The statement cited Zhu's wife, Jiang Hangli, who attended the nearly three-hour trial with Zhu's two lawyers.

Zhu is among a group of writers and intellectuals targeted by Chinese authorities in a crackdown aimed at preventing Arab Spring-style popular uprisings. Three other dissidents have received nine and 10 year prison terms for subversion or the related charge of inciting subversion over the last two months.
