Great Regulars: During his trial Zhu [Yufu] told

the court that he had been merely exercising his freedoms as enshrined in the country's Constitution, and that nothing he had done constituted "inciting subversion."

Zhu's wife Zhu Hangli was apparently overcome at the harshness of the sentence. "Seven years," she said in a brief comment on Friday. "That is so cruel. I don't know what else to say."
