Great Regulars: [Li Yueming] said Li [Tie] had written

"a couple" of articles online, mostly about the political thought of former supreme leader Mao Zedong.

"I think the charges against him are inexplicable," she said. "From the time they detained him they haven't been able to come up with a single piece of solid evidence against him."

U.S.-based democracy activist Liu Nianchun said it was still theoretically possible to be accused of subversion when writing about Mao Zedong's political thought, however.

"There are several articles in Mao's writings that call on the poor to rise up [against oppression]," Liu said. "You can find this sort of thing wherever you look."

"The government certainly won't stand for anyone who uses Mao Zedong Thought to attack corruption in its ranks, or the gap between rich and poor," he added.
