China: Free Anti-Corruption Activists

The Chinese government should immediately release four activists detained after calling for requiring government officials to disclose their assets publicly. The detentions are the harshest action yet against activists involved in a grass-roots campaign to press the government to honor its promise to fight corruption.

“The detention of four anti-corruption activists calls into question President Xi Jinping’s commitment to get tough on graft. The government’s treatment of these activists is a litmus test about whether Xi’s campaign to end China’s corruption epidemic is more than mere rhetoric and a few show cases.”

- Sophie Richardson, China director
