On April 3, 2013, he was detained by the People's Court of Jingjiang, Jiangsu for 10 days for violating court order, and was given early release from detention on April 6 of the same year. On August 3, 2015, he was taken into criminal detention by Public Security Bureau of Tianjin, Hexi Division on suspicion of committing the crimes of inciting subversion of state power and disturbing the peace, which was changed to residential confinement at a designated location on September 2 of the same year. On January 8, 2016 the Public Security Bureau of Tianjin received authorization from this Court to arrest him on suspicion of committing the crime of subversion of state power, and it carried out the arrest on the same day.
The investigation by Public Security Bureau of Tianjin in this case has concluded, and on August 7, 2016 it filed for pre-prosecution examination with this Court on the grounds that defendant Wang Quanzhang was suspected of committing the crime of subversion of state power. Following a designation of jurisdiction in accordance with the law, on August 9, 2016 this Court notified the defendant of his right to retain defense counsel, and interrogated the defendant in accordance with the law and reviewed all case materials. During this time, the case was referred for supplementary investigation twice and the period for pre-prosecution examination was extended three times in accordance with the law.
An investigation in accordance with the law found:
Over a long period of time defendant Wang Quanzhang, having been affected by the influence of the infiltration of anti-China forces, received training from foreign organizations many times, and gradually formed the idea of overthrowing the country’s current political system. Since 2009, Wang Quanzhang used his status as a lawyer to accept financial support provided by foreign organizations many times, establish companies to engage in illegal activities, and provided materials abroad attacking China's rule of law and human rights. At the same time, he engaged in criminal activities subverting state power and overthrowing the socialist order by sensationalizing hot-button cases and incidents, illegally gathering in public venues to commit affrays, and using public opinion to provoke people who do not know the truth to hate the government, seriously jeopardizing national security and social stability. The specific facts are as follows:
1. In August 2009, defendant Wang Quanzhang and Swedish national Bǐdé·yésīpèiěr·dálín (Foreign name: DAHILIN PETER JESPER: who has been expelled from the country by national security agencies), Chen Songzhu (who is being handled in a separate case) and others, after forming a plot, established a company registered in Hong Kong specifically to receive financial support from foreign organizations in the name of the "Chinese Urgent Action Working Group," "Human Rights Defenders Urgent Rescue Association," etc. He subsequently established "legal aid stations" in many places, and organized training for so-called "barefoot lawyers" many times, taught methods and techniques for confronting the government, and cultivated confrontational and opposition forces. At the same time, he actively provided foreigners with investigative reports, attacked China's rule of law and human rights situation, and denigrated the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.
2. On March 22, 2014, the Public Security Bureau of Jiansanjiang, Heilongjiang placed relevant individuals who had disturbed social order in administrative detention in accordance with the law. On March 28 of the same year, defendant Wang Quanzhang went to the Qili Detention Center in Jiansanjiang to participate in illegal gatherings, affrays, sit-in vigils, and other demonstrations involving some lawyers and petitioners, making unjustified demands for the release of some individuals who had been detained. During this period, Wang Quanzhang repeatedly distorted facts on the Internet, engaged in malicious sensationalizing, incited Internet users to "follow," "rescue," and "struggle," and provoked some people who did not know the truth to oppose agencies of the State regime.
3. From April 2013 to December 2014, while defendant Wang Quanzhang was acting as legal counsel in three cases of using a cult to undermine law enforcement, he distorted facts on the Internet many times and maliciously sensationalized issues, smeared the image of the judiciary, and denigrated and attacked the socialist justice system with Chinese characteristics.
On August 2, 2015, defendant Wang Quanzhang was apprehended and brought to justice.
The primary evidence in support of the aforementioned facts is:
1. Documentary evidence including annual reports and training programs for barefoot lawyers.
2. Testimony of witnesses Wang Yu, Chen Songzhu, and Na Jianshen.
3. Search, seizure, and crime scene investigation records.
4. Audio-visual materials and electronic data.
5. Defendant Wang Quanzhang's statement and justifications.
