The Tianjin People's Procuratorate Second Division charged:

Defendant Wu Gan had been influenced by the infiltration of anti-China forces over a long period of time, and he gradually developed the idea of overthrowing the country's current political and judicial systems. Since 2010, over a long period of time Wu Gan used the Internet to publish statements that subverted state power, inciting some people who did not know the truth to confront and oppose the State regime. He posted articles on the Internet that attacked organs of the State regime such as "The Classic on Butchering Pigs," "The Classic on Drinking Tea," and "The Classic on Petitioning Against Forced Demolitions and Land Appropriations." He accepted interviews with foreign media, published audio lectures on the Internet, advocated the ideology of "pushing against the wall," and attacked the socialist system. He used various means to carry out criminal activities to subvert state power, such as illegally gathering people in public venues to create a disturbance.

In October 2014, Wu Gan joined the Beijing Fengrui Law Firm headed by Zhou Shifeng (who has already been sentenced for using a law firm as a platform to engage in subversion of state power). He colluded with Zhou Shifeng, Zhai Yanmin (already sentenced for illegally organizing petitioners to commit affrays over a long period time to engage in subversion of state power), Li Heping (utilizing funds of a foreign non-governmental organization to engage in subversion of state power, case being handled separately) and others to further strengthen an ideology that subverted state power, specifically sensationalize hot-button cases and incidents, and carry out a series of criminal activities to subvert state power and overthrow the socialist order, severely jeopardizing national security and social stability. The specific facts are as follows:

1. In April 2010, the People's Court of Mawei , Fuzhou, tried a case of false accusation in accordance with the law. While the case was being tried, defendant Wu Gan engaged in malicious instigation on the Internet, inciting others to come to the court to gather to affray and confront and oppose the country's judiciary. On the day of the trial, Wu Gan, in collusion with others, used means such as hanging banners, shouting slogans, and uploading live videos to the Internet in front of the court, to seriously affect the people's court trying the case in accordance with the law, smear the image of judiciary, and cause a pernicious political influence at home and abroad.

2. In April 2012, defendant Wu Gan intervened in a demolition compensation dispute in Jin'an District, Fuzhou, Fujian. From April to August of the same year, Wu Gan organized a number of people to stretch banners and pitch tents in front of the Fuzhou Urban and Rural Construction Commission, and posted slogans at a house to be demolished, and insulted and abused the Jin'an District chief on the Internet, which seriously damaged the image of the government and state officials, and provoked some people who did not know the truth to confront and oppose the government.

3. In September 2012, the Public Security Bureau of Fuqing, Fujian, opened a case in accordance with the law to investigate a case of embezzlement. During the investigation of the case, defendant Wu Gan came to the front gate of the Public Security Bureau of Fuqing to raise banners and commit affrays, and on the Internet he repeatedly insulted and abused the chief of the public security bureau and the police officers who handled the case, and smeared a martyr of the bureau who had sacrificed himself for the community as a "protector of organized crime," seriously damaging the image of the public security agency and the people's police, and provoking hatred towards the State regime of some people who did not know the truth.

4. On March 22, 2014, the Public Security Bureau of the Jiansanjiang Agricultural Reclamation Area in Heilongjiang administratively detained in accordance with the law relevant individuals who disturbed social order. Defendant Wu Gan in collusion with others organized a "Jiansanjiang Citizens' Solidarity Rescue Group", and posted a "Fundraising Call for the Citizens' Solidarity Rescue Group" on the Internet, and acted as the fundraising contact and supervisory reviewer, encouraging others to come to Jiansanjiang to illegally gather to create a disturbance. Subsequently, some lawyers and petitioners illegally gathered in front of the Public Security Bureau of Sanjiang Agricultural Reclamation Area and the Qixing Detention Center, sitting in demonstrations, shouting slogans, hanging banners, and engaging in malicious instigation on the Internet, denigrating and attacking organs of the State regime. Wu Gan continuously published police personal information on the Internet, called for online "doxxing,"2 and issued "wanted reward posters," insulted and abused the police, and incited people to confront and oppose the State regime, causing a pernicious political influence at home and abroad.

5. In May 2014, the Intermediate People's Court of Huaihua, Hunan tried a case in accordance with the law of gathering people to disrupt social order. During the trial of the case, defendant Wu Gan, together with Li Heping and others, went to Mayang County, Huaihua to sensationalize the case. From May 20 to 21 of the same year, Wu Gan successively held up a placard in front of the Mayang County Party Committee and County Government, and submitted a complaint letter to the People's Procuratorate of Huaihua, smearing and defaming the Mayang County Party Secretary. Afterwards, he continued to maliciously sensationalize matters online, provoking some people who did not know the truth to become dissatisfied with the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.

6. In May 2014, the Public Security Bureau in Zhengzhou, Henan Province opened a case for investigation in accordance with the law into relevant individuals who disturbed the order of public places. Defendant Wu Gan colluded with Zhai Yanmin and others to plan to sensationalize the case, and organized publishing "calls" for fundraising advocacy on the Internet many times. In July of the same year, some lawyers and petitioners illegally gathered in front of the Zhengzhou No. 3 Detention Center, sat in on hunger strikes, hung banners, shouted slogans, unreasonably demanded the release of detainees, and engaged in malicious instigation on the Internet, denigrating and attacking organs of the State regime. During that time, Wu Gan issued "Citations" and "Wanted Posters" on the Internet, and performed "Performance Art" in front of the detention center that insulted and denigrated the public security bureau chief, and encouraged some people who did not know the truth to hate organs of the State regime, causing a pernicious political influence at home and abroad.

7. In September 2014, the Justice Bureau of Changping District, Beijing held a hearing on an administrative penalty case. Defendant Wu Gan encouraged others on the Internet to gather at the hearing site illegally, hold up slogans at scene that denigrated the Justice Bureau and the Bar Association, verbally abuse the civil police who were on duty at the time, and in collusion with others shout slogans and block the doors in affrays, causing serious chaos on the scene. After learning that the relevant individuals had been administratively detained by the public security agency, Wu Gan posted a large number of micro-blogs with pictures insulting public security civil police on the Internet to continue malicious sensationalizing, denigrating, and attacking organs of the State regime.

8. In December 2014, the Beijing Fengrui Law Firm was acting as representatives in a civil action, and the case had been settled by court through mediation. Defendant Wu Gan took instructions from Zhou Shifeng and went to Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan to sensationalize the case with Xie Yuandong (case being handled separately). From January 7 to 12, 2015, Wu Gan posted big-character posters at the Prefecture  People's Government, Prefecture People's Procuratorate, Intermediate People's Court, and other places, and engaged in affrays inside and outside the court by various means such as driving by in cars with big character posters pasted on them, attacking the judiciary, smearing the judicial system, and using the Internet to engage in malicious instigation, attempting to provoke some people who did not know the truth to hate the judicial system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

9. On December 3, 2013, an intentional injury case occurred in Huqiu District, Suzhou, Jiangsu, which caused two deaths due to a demolition. In January 2014, defendant Wu Gan participated in the "Suzhou Urbanization and Demolition Seminar" in response to the case in Beijing, and published statements that denigrated and attacked China's national system, and incited hatred of the socialist system. From January to February 2015, Wu Gan learned that that case and related cases were about to be heard in court, and actively organized fundraising on the Internet, maliciously sensationalized, and incited some people who did not know the truth to come to Suzhou to illegally gather to create a disturbance, and confront and oppose the government.

10. In March 2015, the People's Court of Mancheng District, Baoding, Hebei was trying an extortion case in accordance with the law in which the Beijing Fengrui Law Firm was acting as representatives. While the case was being tried, defendant Wu Gan took instructions from Zhou Shifeng and fabricated rumors such as "Leaders of the Baoding Municipal Party Committee Political and Legal Commission committed an injustice for the sake of a vanity project," engaged in malicious sensationalizing on the Internet, and provoked some people who did not know the truth to become dissatisfied with the judicial system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

11. On May 2, 2015, an individual who was assaulting a police officer was shot dead on the spot by the police on duty in the waiting room of a railway station in Qing'an County, Heilongjiang. After the incident, defendant Wu Gan published a large number of micro-blog posts on the Internet distorting facts, fabricating rumors that the individual assaulting the police was a petitioner, that the police who shot him were there to intercept petitioners, and inciting others to gather illegally in Qing'an County to sensationalize the matter. Later, he spread false statements by publishing the "Qing'an Incident Investigation Report" on the Internet to encourage the masses who did not know the truth to confront and oppose organs of State power.

12. In May 2015, the High People's Court of Jiangxi tried a criminal complaint case in accordance with the law. From May 18 to 19 of the same year, defendant Wu Gan engaged in malicious instigation on the Internet, and insulted the president of the court in front of the court, set up a "mourning hall" to discredit the image of the judiciary, and denigrated, and attacked the State's judicial system.

On May 27, 2015, defendant Wu Gan was apprehended and brought to justice.

With respect to the aforementioned charges, the public prosecution agency read and produced in court criminal judgments, administrative punishment decisions and other documentary evidence, testimony of Zhai Yanmin, Xie Yuandong, and other witnesses, as well as other evidence including search, investigation, and identification records, audio-visual materials, electronic data, and defendant Wu Gan's statement. It believes that Wu Gan organized, planned, and carried out subversion of state power and the overthrow of the socialist order, and his actions constitute the commission of an offense under the provisions of Article 105(1) of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China." The criminal facts are clear and the evidence is reliable and copious, and he should bear criminal liability for committing the crime of subversion of state power. In accordance with the provisions of Article 172 of the "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China," it requests this Court pass sentence in accordance with the law.

Defendant Wu Gan admitted to having acted in the manner set forth in facts charged by public prosecution agency, but his defense counsel raised the following justifications and defense opinions with respected to the public prosecution agency's charges:

1. While Wu Gan was being held in custody in Beijing he was tortured to extract a confession and was interrogated until he was exhausted. The detention location recorded in some of the interrogation transcripts does not conform to the actual detention location. Some interrogating personnel did not have investigation authority and the interrogation transcripts that they participated in the production of are not valid. Therefore, they apply to have all statements of Wu Gan from July 5, 2015 to January 8, 2016 excluded.

2. None of the electronic data in this case was collected by an investigation agency, and there is no paperwork or other records showing the investigating agency entrusted data collection to a third party. There are no records of the collection process, and the means and methods of electronic data collection do not comply with laws and regulations. They lack legality and cannot be used as evidence in this case. The content of some of the online articles and audio produced by the public prosecution agency did not originate with Wu Gan, and it therefore cannot be determined that they were posted by Wu Gan himself. Some of the witnesses in this case have a vested interest in Wu Gan, and their testimony is mutually contradictory and replete with subjective assumptions, and are therefore not probative. Zhai Yanmin, Zhou Shifeng and other witnesses were tortured to extract confessions, and relevant witness testimony cannot serve as a basis for establishing an offense in this case.

3. The totality of evidence in this case is unable to prove that Wu Gan either objectively possessed the criminal intent to subvert state power, or subjectively carried out criminal acts to subvert state power. There were reasons why Wu Gan participated in those 12 incidents, and the content that was posted online was all factual. In addition, in the specific cases where Wu Gan was a participant, some participants were either not criminally punished or were convicted of other offenses, so there is no legal basis for Wu Gan to be charged with the crime of subversion of state power. The statements made in the "Three Great Classics" that Wu Gan posted online, his getting people to bear witness at events, his sensationalizing and other behaviors, these are all the actions of a citizen legitimately exercising their rights granted by the Constitution. They were not directed at the State regime, and did not result in causing the State regime to be subverted. Therefore, Wu Gan's actions do not constitute the crime of subversion of state power.

It was ascertained at trial that:

Because he was dissatisfied with the country's current political system, defendant Wu Gan gradually developed the idea of subverting state power. Thereafter, over an extended period of time Wu Gan used information networks to spread a large number of statements that attacked the State regime and the national system established by the Constitution, and that advocated the use of the subversive "push against the wall" ideology. In collusion with certain illegal religious activists, professional petitioners, a small number of lawyers and other individuals who had the idea of subverting of state power, he created disturbances with illegal assemblies in public venues under the guise of "rights defense" and performing "performance art." He sensationalized hot-button incidents by insulting third parties, spreading false information on information networks. He committed series of criminal acts that subverted stated power and overthrew the socialist order by smearing organs of the State and attacking the national system established by the Constitution. This severely jeopardized national security and social stability. The specific facts are as follows:

I. Utilizing Information Networks to Attack the State Regime and the Socialist System

Since 2010, defendant Wu Gan used Twitter, Weibo, WeChat and other online social media tools to continuously publish a large number of posts and audio lectures attacking the State regime and the socialist system.

So we will not make any well-intended suggestions that would be beneficial to extending their life span. Instead, we should encourage them to get worse: build walls and mix water in with the sand. When the ship is going down you just take out an extra chip or two. . . You absolutely cannot engage in civic activities and push against the wall without funds. . . So every time I take on a case I raise money first. You can do it if you have money.

The aforementioned audio transcription materials were confirmed by Wu Gan as the contents of his lecture.

Among these, part of the content that Wu Gan posted on his Twitter account was: "The Butcher's Three Classics: 1: The Classic on Butchering Pigs for Petitioners. 2: The Classic on Drinking Tea. 3: The Classic on Petitioning Against Forced Demolitions and Land Appropriations. They have all been launched. After a period with some time on my hands I wrote some classics on the torments borne by citizens of an abnormal country. How to popularize overcoming fear, how to deal with gangsters, how to increase their costs, and how to work together to send the devil off to die!"


Wu Gan uploaded "One of The Super Vulgar Butcher (Wu Gan) Classics: The Classic on Butchering Pigs for Petitioners" to the social platform Google. Part of the content of that "Classic" was: "In our country, there is no justice in the judiciary, the Political and Legal Committee and the Disciplinary Inspection Commission hide the truth from the masses. . . The petition system is a tool used by the State to deceive the people and provide a check against local government. . . The root of judicial injustice lies in this system. If this system is not changed, the law is just a fig leaf. . . Under this system, one must not put one's faith in the law, under this evil system good people turn bad. . .  It is recommended to take the most primitive means to raise appeals. . . Targeting specific individuals is the most effective way; various forms of appeals and various behaviors can be adopted online and offline.

Wu Gan uploaded "The Super Vulgar Butcher (Wu Gan) Classics II: The Classic on Drinking Tea" to the Google Plus social media platform.

There are many ways, such as online exposés, expose their scars, dig into the scandals of their family members and the people who surround them. Enumerate the crimes they committed in office, and hang the evil deeds they committed in prior roles around their necks."

"The Past is not as Good as Smoke" reposted "The Classic on Petitioning Against Forced Demolitions and Land Appropriations." Part of the content of that "Classic" was: "At present, in a State where there is no rule of law, this kind of manual can only be used as a reference. . . The government protects the strong from violence, and will not protect the interests and personal safety of those whose homes are being demolished and whose land is being taken. . . When homes are being demolished and land is being taken the law is nothing more than trinkets and shit. The police, the procuratorate, the judiciary – they are essentially worthless.

12. Defendant Wu Gan's statement: He believes that the root of social contradictions lies in the current political and judicial systems. His ideal state is to awaken "citizens" as an important force in the future "social transformation" through intervention in a series of cases and events, so as to enable this group of people to continue to grow stronger. In this way, the current government will be pushed into make a "peaceful transformation" by means of "street complaints." The "lawyers circle," "petitioners circle," "democracy movement circle," and "Internet user circle" who are actively following these cases all have this kind of common understanding. Therefore, it is only after a certain incident occurs that the various circles unite and intervene in the matter. This is also a manifestation of pushing back. His Twitter screen name is "Super Vulgar Butcher," account number: Stufuwugan; his Sina screen name is "Happy Love Sunshine Charity;" his G+ account is "Wu Gan (Butcher);" his WeChat accounts include "cjdstf;" his Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo accounts are "Super Vulgar Butcher," "Bald Pig Killer," "A Guy Who Loves Killing Pigs," and so on. It was probably in the first half of 2011 that he compiled the "Pig Killing Classics", which was divided into two parts: "The Classic on Butchering Pigs for Rights Defense" and "The Classic on Butchering Pigs for Petitioners." In 2012, he wrote about his experience in dealing with the police as "The Classic on Drinking Tea," which was written after those others. He opposes the existing system and has never tried to conceal his ideology.

After the incident, defendant Wu Gan contacted others and prepared to go to Qing'an to sensationalize things in the name of providing legal aid to Xu Chunhe's family. After that, Wu Gan published a large number of articles and information that distorted facts on information networks in the name of investigating the "truth" to discredit the public security agency He incited people who did not know the truth to confront and oppose State agencies, and caused a pernicious political influence.

The aforementioned facts are confirmed by the following evidence:

1. Testimony of witness Tian Donghang proved: On May 2, 2015, in Qing'an County Railway Station, police had cuffed a man to a fence. As soon as the police released the man, the man chased the police. The police turned and ran to the police room and closed the door. The man kicked the door from the outside. The police came out of the room with a long stick, and the man snatched the stick. Later, the man dragged an old lady to him, then turned around, grabbed a little girl, and threw them to the ground. The man grabbed the stick and hit the police on the left shoulder. The police raised their gun and shouted "Don't move." At this time, the man raised his stick and hit the police again. The police shot. Then the police shouted "Hurry up and call the police."

Many people followed the posts, which were basically insults claiming they were murderous evil police. Some people wanted to dox16 him and his family members, and people said they would kill his entire family. Every day, there were dozens of harassing calls and harassing text messages, all of which were suspicious and intimidating.

Wu Gan said that it was not necessary for the time being, and he wanted to first let the lawyers stir up the incident, and then a large number of petitioners would be needed to sensationalize and express solidarity. If Wu Gan had not posted the reward, the Qing'an incident would not have gotten so heated.

All of the foregoing evidence was produced and examined in hearings in this Court, and was obtained by the investigating agency in accordance with legal procedures. The sources and formats were legal, there was no contradictions in the evidence, and it forms a comprehensive framework of proof. It is affirmed by this Court.

As regards the justifications and defense opinions put forward by defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsels, based on the facts and evidence in this case, this Court judges as follows:

1. Regarding the justifications and defense opinions raised by defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsel that Wu Gan was tortured and interrogated to exhaustion in order to extract a confession while he was being held in custody in Beijing; that some interrogation transcripts did not match the actual detention location; that some interrogate personnel did not have investigatory authority and nevertheless participated in the production of interrogation transcripts rendering them invalid, and therefore they apply to exclude all of Wu Gan's statements from July 5, 2015 to January 8, 2016.

An investigation found that the Hexi Detention Center in Tianjin's Proof of Inquisition, Case Opening Registration Form, and Decision to Open a Case, and the Ministry of Public Security's Notice on the Designation of Jurisdiction for Criminal Cases Related to the Beijing Fengrui Law Firm" and Explanation of Circumstances, and other evidence proved that in this case, the Ministry of Public Security organized public security agencies in Beijing, Tianjin, Fujian, Shandong and other places. Wu Gan was held in custody in Fujian, Beijing, Tianjin and other places. The public security agencies in Fujian, Beijing, and Tianjin had the right to investigate in this case. The evidence presented by the public prosecution agency in court can prove that the investigating agency's interrogation personnel and the location of the interrogations were legal, and can rule out the existence of any investigating agency collecting evidence by torture and other illegal means. In summary, defendant Wu Gan's statements that were submitted by the public prosecution agency to the court can be used as evidence to establish an offense in this case. These justifications and defense opinions of the defendant and his defense counsel are not supported by this Court.

2. Regarding the justifications and defense opinions raised by defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsel that the collected subjects of all electronic data in the case was not done by an investigating agency, and there were no formalities observed when the investigating agency entrusted collected electronic data, the collection process was not recorded, the method and means of electronic data collection did not comply with legal regulations, and it was not legal and cannot be used as evidence in the case.

An investigation found that the "Letter of Reply Regarding the 'Wu Gan Disturbing the Peace' Case" and the "Explanatory Response Regarding the 'Wu Gan defamation' Case " produced by the Beijing Weimeng Chuangke Network Technology Co., Ltd., and the Explanation, Weibo registration materials, Weibo posts produced by the Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd., as well as the remote crime scene investigation records, analysis reports, and other evidence proved that the electronic data in the case was transferred from Beijing Weimeng Chuangke Network Technology Co., Ltd. And Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd. to investigating agencies in Fujian, Tianjin and other places, and was seized in accordance with the law from original storage media such as Wu Gan's mobile phone and ipad mini, and was obtained through remote crime scene investigation. Public security agencies in Fujian, Tianjin and other places have the right to investigate in this case, and the collection of electronic data in the case was qualified and the procedures were legal. The crime scene investigation, investigation records, and analysis reports all explain the crime scene investigation, inspection, and analysis processes, and the electronic data collection procedures and methods in the case comply with legal regulations and relevant technical specifications.

Regarding the justifications and defense opinions raised by defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsel that some articles and audio content on the Internet presented by the public prosecution agency were not the content originally published by Wu Gan, and it cannot be confirmed that they were published by Wu Gan himself.

An investigation found that not only is there electronic data in the case proving that some of articles and audio content of the lectures were published by Wu Gan through information networks, there is also corroborating witness testimony, audiovisual materials, and Wu Gan's statements. In addition the corresponding articles and audio content have been verified by Wu Gan in the investigation and during the trial, and was confirmed as having been written and published by him on information networks.

Regarding the justifications and defense opinions raised by defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsel that most of the witnesses in the case have a personal interest in, and relationship with, Wu Gan, and there were contradictions in the witness testimony, and all the witness testimony was based on subjective assumptions, and are therefore not probative. Witnesses Zhai Yanmin, Zhou Shifeng, and others may have been subjected to torture to extract a confession, and the corresponding witness testimony cannot be used as the basis to establish an offense in this case.

An investigation found that, in this case the witnesses were participants in specific events. The content of the witness testimony was direct perceptions and objective descriptions of Wu Gan's words and actions and events, not subjective assumptions. Related witness testimony and evidence such as electronic data and audio-visual materials in the case are mutually corroborating. They have objectivity, legitimacy, and relevance, and can be used as the basis to establish an offense in this case; Wu Gan and his defense counsels raised doubts about the legality of the testimony of witnesses Zhou Shifeng, Zhai Yanmin, and others, but provided no materials or clues. These justifications and defense opinions of defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsel cannot be established, and are not accepted by this Court.

3. Regarding the justifications and defense opinions raised by defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsel that the totality of the evidence in the case does not prove that Wu Gan had any subjective criminal intent to subvert state power, or that he objectively carried out criminal acts that subverted the State regime. There were reasons why Wu Gan participated in the twelve cases, and all the content posted on the Internet was factual. In the specific cases where Wu Gan participated, some participants were either not criminally punished or were convicted of other offense. There is no legal basis for Wu Gan to be charged for the crime of subversion of state power. Wu Gan's statements on the Internet such as the "Three Great Classics" and attracting people's attention and sensationalizing and other actions were all legitimate exercises of citizens' rights granted by the Constitution, and they neither targeted the State regime nor caused the result of subversion of state power. Therefore, Wu Gan's actions do not constitute a crime of subversion of state power.

An investigation found that, based on the provisions of criminal law, the crime of subversion of state power refers to an actor who organizes, plots, and carries out actions that subvert state power and overthrows the socialist order. The criminal element of the crime does not require the occurrence of any actual harmful consequences of subversion of state power and the overthrow of the socialist order. Any attempt to subvert state power and overthrow the socialist system by various means, regardless of the success or failure, constitutes that crime.

The evidence in this case proved that over a long period of time Wu Gan used information networks to advocate using the concept of "pushing against the wall" to subvert state power and to carry out attacks and defamation against China's State regime and socialist system. During that time, Wu Gan summarized his practice of sensationalizing hot-button cases and published the "Three Great Treasures," which focused on attacking the State's judicial and petitioning systems, and on teaching methods and means to confront and oppose the State regime. In the "Three Great Classics," Wu Gan advocated the use of sensationalizing affrays online and offline and other methods to insult and belittle State agencies and their staff, in order to attack, confront, and oppose the State regime. Wu Gan's "Three Great Classics," posts, and remarks published in interviews with foreign media on information networks are sufficient to prove his subjective criminal intent to commit the crime of subversion of state power. Wu Gan also admitted in court that he had the idea to subvert state power. Under this subjective and intentional suasion, Wu Gan colluded with others and successively sensationalized twelve hot-button incidents, confronting and opposing the State regime, and attacking the national system established by the Constitution. This comprises the constituent elements of the crime of subversion of state power.

China's Constitution grants citizens freedom of speech and the right to criticize, suggest, and bring suit against State agencies and their staff. At the same time, it stipulates that citizens shall not harm the national, social, or collective interests and other legal freedoms of citizens when exercising their rights and freedoms. Wu Gan published articles and statements such as "Three Great Classics" on information networks that sensationalized hot-button case incidents, took advantage of issues to amplify contradictions, and fabricated rumors and distorted facts. This not only seriously damaged the reputation of others, it also seriously disrupted social order and seriously jeopardized national security. What purported to be reflecting complaints and demands was in reality subversion of state power that exceeded the legal limit of the legitimate exercise of rights and freedoms, and constitutes the commission of an offense under relevant provisions of the criminal law.

At the same time, although they have committed similar acts, the subject, subjective intention, and the degree of social harm caused is different, and constitutes different nature and circumstances. It cannot be concluded that Wu Gan's behavior does not constitute subversion of state power crime because people involved in the same case were not criminally punished or were punished for another offense. In summary, the justifications and defense opinions of defendant Wu Gan and his defense counsel cannot be established, and are not accepted by this Court.

This Court finds defendant Wu Gan did, with the goal of subverting state power and overthrowing the socialist order, use methods such as disseminating speech that subverted state power and sensationalizing hot-button incidents on information networks to attack the State regime and the national system established by the Constitution, thereby seriously jeopardizing national security and social stability. His actions constitute the crime of subversion of state power. The facts underlying the public prosecution agency's charge that Wu Gan committed the crime of subversion of state power are clear and the evidence is reliable and copious, and the charged offense is established.

Wu Gan's criminal behavior was deliberate, the circumstances were pernicious, the social harm was great, and the subjective malice was deep, and it should be severely punished in accordance with the law. The period of time during which Wu Gan was held in administrative detention for the facts underlying this case shall be deducted from his criminal sentence in accordance with the law. Penalty period. According to the facts, nature, plot and degree of harm to society of Wu Gan's crime, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 105(1), 61, 56(1), 54, 55(1), and 58 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China," the judgment is as follows:

Defendant Wu Gan committed the crime of subversion of state power and is sentenced to a fixed term imprisonment of eight years and five years deprivation of political rights.

(The prison term is to be calculated starting on the day the judgment is executed, and each day in custody prior to the execution of the judgment shall count as one day of the prison term, that is from May 19, 2015 to May 18, 2023.)

If any party does not accept this judgment, they may within 10 days after the second day after receiving this written judgment bring an appeal through this Court or directly to the High People's Court of Tianjin. A written appeal should be submitted with one original and two copies of the appeal brief.

就上述指控,公诉机关当庭宣读和出示了刑事判决书、行政处罚决定书等书证,证人翟岩民、谢远东等的证言,搜查、检查、辨认笔录,视听资料、电子数据,被告人吴淦的供述等证据,认为吴淦组织、策划、实施颠覆国家政权、推翻社会主义制度,其行为触犯了《中华人民共和国刑法》第一百零五条第一款的规定,犯罪事实清楚,证据确实、充分,应当以颠覆国家政权罪追究其刑事责任。依据《中华人民共和国刑事诉讼法》第一百七十二条的规定,提请本院依法判处。

被告人吴淦承认实施了公诉机关指控的事实,但其及其辩护人对公诉机关的指控提出以下辩解和辩护意见:

1.吴淦在北京羁押期间遭受刑讯逼供、疲劳讯问;部分讯问笔录中记载的关押地点与实际关押地点不符;部分讯问人员没有侦查权限,参与制作的讯问笔录没有效力,故申请排除吴淦自2015年7月5日至2016年1月8日的所有供述。

2.在案所有电子数据的提取主体并非本案侦查机关,也没有侦查机关委托提取电子数据的手续,提取过程没有记录,电子数据收集的方式、方法不符合法律规定,不具有合法性,不能作为定案证据使用;公诉机关出示的网络上的部分文章和音频并非吴淦发布的原始内容,且不能确认是吴淦本人发布;在案大部分证人与吴淦有利害关系,且证言之间相互矛盾,均系主观臆断,故不具有证明力;证人翟岩民、周世锋等人可能遭受刑讯逼供,相应证言不能作为定案根据。

3.在案所有证据不能证明吴淦主观上具有颠覆国家政权的犯罪故意,客观上实施了颠覆国家政权的犯罪行为;吴淦参与十二起案事件均事出有因,在网络上发布的内容均是事实,且在吴淦参与的具体案事件中,部分参与者或者未被刑事处罚、或者被以其他罪名定罪处罚,对吴淦以颠覆国家政权罪进行指控没有法律依据;吴淦在网络上发表“三大宝典”等言论和实施围观、炒作等行为均是公民行使宪法賦予的正当权利,既未针对国家政权,也未造成国家政权被颠覆的结果,故吴淦的行为不构成颠覆国家政权罪。

经审理查明:

被告人吴淦因对国家现行政治制度不满,逐渐产生颠覆国家政权的思想。其后,吴淦长期利用信息网络散布大量言论,攻击国家政权和宪法确立的国家制度,宣扬用以颠覆国家政权的“推墙”思想;勾结一些具有颠覆国家政权思想的非法宗教活动人员、职业访民、少数律师和其他人员,以“维权”、表演“行为艺术”等为幌子,采取在公共场所非法聚集、起哄闹事,在信息网络上辱骂他人,散布虚假信息等方式,炒作多起热点案事件,抹黑国家机关,攻击宪法确立的国家制度,实施了一系列颠覆国家政权、推翻社会主义制度的犯罪活动,严重危害国家安全和社会稳定。具体事实如下:

其中,吴淦在其推特账号发布的部分内容为:“屠夫三宝典:1:访民杀猪宝典。2:喝茶宝典。3:抗违法拆迁征地宝典。都已推出。过阵子没事再好好写个非正常国家公民折腾宝典,普及如何战胜恐惧,如何和流氓折腾,如何增加它们成本,如何携手一起让魔鬼死去!”

1.建三江公安局出具的行政处罚决定书证明:2014年3月22日,唐吉田等人因扰乱社会秩序被行政拘留;2014年3月30日,翟岩民等人为“声援”唐吉田等人,煽动、策划他人在七星拘留所门前非法集会,被建三江公安局行政拘留。

2.证人翟岩民的证言证明:其在微信群里看到唐吉田等四律师在建三江被抓的帖子,便带人到建三江声援。2014年3月24日,其与向莉等带十多人去建三江公安局,七星拘留所举牌。3月25日,其与王徤等人到七星拘留所,与律师一同打横幅、示威。吴淦在各个群内发布声援建三江律师和募捐的帖子,鼓动“公民”参加声援活动,声援的费用是吴淦发起募集的。律师、“公民”、访民利用微信作为平台联系在一起,有共同的“推墙”思想,每次事件都是律师先挑起事端,第一时间到达现场,“公民”、访民跟进,继续炒作、发酵事件,这是一个固定的炒作模式,目的是想推翻现有法制体系,推翻共产党领导,实现“颜色革命”“和平转型”。

3.证人刘四新的证言证明:唐吉田等人被拘留后,有人专门建了微信群,还组织了“声援团”,提出给去声援、造势的律师、访民募捐经费,捐款的发起人里有吴淦。

4.证人于文波(建三江公安局民警)的证言证明:2014年3月22日,建三江公安局依法对扰乱社会秩序的唐吉田等人行政拘留。此后,大量“维权人士”在七星拘留所门口聚集、呼喊口号。在处理上述事件过程中,其手机、办公电话和家庭固定电话接到大量骚扰电话,基本处于瘫痪状态。建三江公安局局长等也都受到了骚扰。

5.证人刘某某(时任建三江公安局局长)的证言及自书材料证明:2014年3月,建三江公安局依法拘留了一批“维权律师”吴淦制作带有其头像的“通缉悬赏令”在网上发布,并对其进行“人肉搜索”,公布其电话号码,煽动网民打电话、发短信对其进行骚扰,通过网上发帖对其本人辱骂、攻击、恐吓。吴淦的蓄意煽动炒作,造成全国各地“维权人士”到建三江非法聚集示威,严重扰乱了建三江辖区的社会秩序。给省、垦区、建三江管理局各级党委、政法系统声誉造成了极坏的影响。

6.证人刘长河(时任建三江公安局国保大队大队长)的证言证明:吴淦自2014年3月22日开始持续通过腾讯微博、手机短信等发布对其本人辱骂、人身攻击、恐吓的帖文,并在网上征集其家庭住址、家庭情况、孩子就读的学校等信息,公布其电话,鼓动网民用打电话和发短信的方式对其进行骚扰。吴淦的行为不仅对其名誉造成严重损害,也使公安机关执法公信力遭到质疑。

7.证人韩奎(时任建三江公安局七星拘留所所长)的证言证明:七星拘留所收押唐吉田等人后,拘留所门前发生了非法聚集示威事件。七星拘留所的电话以及工作人员的手机被不断骚扰,大体内容是要求释放被收押人员,还有部分电话是进行人身攻击和人身威胁。

上述证言有七星拘留所民警房玉献的证言予以佐证。

9.建三江公安局提供的七星拘留所门前视频证明:翟岩民等人在拘留所门前聚集、呼喊口号、持标语照相等。

10.厦门市公安局网络安全保卫支队厦公(网)电检〔2015〕3号电子数据检查笔录、厦公(网)远勘〔2015〕1号远程勘验笔录、麗公(网)电检〔2015〕12号电子数据检查笔录证明:经对吴淦推特账号“超级低俗屠夫”(@tufuwugan)的历史推特数据,以及与吴淦相关的昵称为“快乐爱阳光公益”(UID:2345898410)和“超级低俗屠fu”(UID:3735687154)新浪微博账号的历史微博数据、吴淦微信朋友圈数据进行勘验、检查,提取到吴淦炒作唐吉田等人行政拘留案件的推文、链接、历史微博,以及在微信朋友圈中发布的涉及唐吉田等人行政拘留案件的相关言论,主要内容为“声援”唐吉田等人和现场滋事人员,为现场滋事人员募款,鼓动对公安民警进行“人肉搜索”,发布含有侮辱内容的“通缉悬赏令”等。

经吴淦确认,相关内容系其发布于互联网。

11.被告人吴淦的供述:2014年年初,其从互联网上看见唐吉田等四人被行政拘留,就开始关注这个事件。后来,其起草了募款倡议书在互联网发布,并与刘四新担任监督人及联系人。募款就是为了让更多人去声援,给这些人报销交通食宿费用及其他正常开支。过了十天左右,其在家中制作了“通缉悬赏令”,征集建三江公安局局长的贪腐信息。之后,其多次发布建三江事件的相关信息及其本人对建三江事件的看法,并发布相关民警的联系方式,号召大家给民警打电话骚扰。之所以介入这个事件,是想声援唐吉田等人,谴责政府对他们的迫害。

六、炒作黄雨东等人聚众扰乱社会秩序案件

2015年1月,黄雨东等人因犯聚众扰乱社会秩序罪,被湖南省怀化市中级人民法院依法判处刑罚。案件审理期间,李和平(已判刑)利用某境外组织提供的资金,带领被告人吴淦等人到湖南省怀化市麻阳苗族自治县(以下简称麻阳县)等地对该案进行炒作。2014年5月20曰,吴淦到麻阳县委县政府门前举牌滋事,并拍照上传互联网。此后,吴淦持续在互联网上恶意炒作,歪曲事实,抹黑、丑化国家机关及其工作人员形象,制造舆论煽动仇视国家政权。

1.证人赵军(麻阳县人民政府工作人员)的证言及辨认笔录证明:2014年5月的一天上午,有两个人在县政府门口,其中一个较胖的人举着牌子,另外一个人录像。其把二人带到信访接待室,他们待了不到一分钟就拿着牌子跑了。牌子上写的好像是“胡某某书记,屠夫给您送钱来了”。经赵军辨认,吴淦即为举牌滋事的男子。

2.证人杨国新(麻阳县人民政府工作人员)的证言证明:2014年夏天的一天上午,其听到县委大院内有人吵闹,出去看到一名男子举着一个牌子,牌子上写着“胡某某,屠夫给你送钱来了”,旁边还有一名男子给他录像。胡某某是麻阳县委书记。

4.证人高月的证言证明:其在李和平三元桥办公室工作。在其处理的2014年5月份账目中,有一笔是李和平、吴淦等人到麻阳县办案的费用。这些费用是向境外某机构报销。

5.麻阳县人民法院提供的(2013)麻刑初字第47号刑事判决书和湖南省怀化市中级人民法院(2013)怀中刑一终字第39号、128号刑事裁定书证明:黄雨东等人因犯聚众扰乱社会秩序罪被判刑的情况。

6.天津市公安局电子证据检验鉴定中心津公(网安)勘〔2016〕151号远程勘验笔录证明:经对与吴淦相关的新浪微博数据进行检查,发现昵称为“快乐爱阳光公益”(UID:2345898410)的微博账号持续发布帖文炒作麻阳县黄雨东等人的案件,其中,2014年5月20日发布的图片内容为:吴涂在麻阳县委县政府门前举牌,牌子上写着“胡某某书记屠夫送钱来了”。

7.被告人吴淦的供述:2014年4月,李和平说他正在关注湖南麻阳县的案子,问其是否有时间一起到当地跟进关注,其同意。当月,其与李和平等人到麻阳县,做了一个写有“麻阳县委书记胡某某,屠夫给你送钱来了”的广告牌,然后到县委县政府门前表演“行为艺术”。其举着广告牌,让路人拍照,把照片发布到微博上,想以此给当地政府施压。就像其在“三大宝典”中讲过的,要想解决问题,就要找当地的领导作靶子,找他有没有贪腐等问题。

七、炒作于世文等人寻衅滋事案件

2014年5月,河南省郑州市公安机关对涉嫌犯寻衅滋事罪的于世文等人依法立案侦查,并将于世文等人羁押在郑州市第三看守所。翟岩民获悉后,组织多人到该所聚集滋事。被告人吴淦积极通过信息网络介入炒作,为滋事人员募款。同年7月,吴淦前往郑州市,与翟岩民等人共同为炒作活动出谋划策,并在看守所门前表演“行为艺术”,将相关照片及含有侮辱内容的“嘉奖令”发布到信息网络,谩骂、贬损国家工作人员,攻击国家机关,造成恶劣的政治影响。

十二、炒作庆安县火车站袭警事件

2015年5月2日,徐纯合因在黑龙江省绥化市庆安县火车站(以下简称庆安县火车站)滋事、袭警并抢夺警械,被民警依法击毙。事件发生后,被告人吴淦与他人联络,准备以为徐纯合家属提供法律援助为名,前往庆安县炒作。此后,吴淦以调查“真相”为名,在信息网络上发布大量歪曲事实的文章和信息,抹黑公安机关,煽动不明真相的人与国家机关对立,造成恶劣的政治影响。

上述事实,有以下证据证实:

1.证人田东杭的证言证明:2015年5月2日庆安县火车站内,一名警察将一男子拷在栏扞上。警察刚一松开这名男子,男子就追打警察,警察转身往警务室跑,把门关上,男子在外面踹门。警察拿着一根长棍子从屋里出来,男子就抢棍子。后来男子把—个老太太拽到,又回身抓起一个小女孩,用力摔扔在地上。男子抢过棍子打在警察的左肩膀部,警察就举枪喊“不许动“这时男子举棍又打在警察身上,警察开枪。后警察喊“赶快报警”。5月4日,吴淦到大连找其调查此事,其也是这样说的。

上述关于事发过程的证言有现场乘客吕洪建、王云骥的证言予以佐证。

2.证人李乐斌(哈尔滨铁路公安局哈尔滨公安处庆安车站派出所民警)的证言证明:庆安县火车站袭警事件发生后,网名为“超级低俗屠夫”的人网上发帖,称其枪杀访民,还把剪辑过的视频发到网上,把涉事男子袭击其的录像全部删除,看上去就是其一直拿着警棍打这个男子。还有一个帖子是“超级低俗屠夫”采访一个证人的录音和他写的一些文字。跟帖的人很多,基本上都是辱骂,说其是杀人恶警。有人要“人肉”其和家人,还说要杀其全家,每天都有几十个骚扰电话和骚扰短信,都是质疑和恐吓。其不敢领孩子出去玩,妻子也不敢出门。

关于此事对李乐斌和家人的影响,亦有李乐斌之妻王某某的证言予以佐证。

3.证人谢燕益的证言证明:2015年5月4日,吴淦与其联系,问其是否有时间代理徐纯合的案子,其在第二天和徐纯合的母亲通电话后决定去庆安县。到了哈尔滨后,其给吴淦打电话,吴淦说他要去大连取证。5月6日,其与其他律师找到徐纯合的亲属要代理权。后来几个人在公安机关门前打标语、静坐,还在网上联名发布声明、调查报告等文章。

4.证人翟岩民的证言证明:2015年5月3日,其在多个微信群里看到吴淦发起的悬赏征集现场视频的帖子,5月4日,在群里看到谢燕益等律师去庆安县炒作庆安事件的帖子。随着事件被炒热,访民就说要去庆安县声援。5月七八日左右,其打电话问吴淦是否需要组织人去声援,吴淦说暂时还不需要,要让律师先把事件炒热了,之后才需要大批量的访民去炒作和声援。如果吴淦不发帖悬赏的话,庆安事件也不会被炒得那么热。吴淦等人在“推墙”思想的引导下,借机大肆炒作,目的就是抹黑公安机关形象,让百姓对公安机关不满,对政府不信任,引发百姓与政府对立,今儿制造官民冲突,乃至流血事件,引起国际社会介入,最终达到推翻共产党的领导。

5.证人于云峰的证言证明:庆安事件发生后,吴淦对事件进行调查,说现场情况是警察在打徐纯合,与央视公布的结果不符。所以,其认为央视是有选择地公布情况,遂参与声援此事。

上述证言有迟进春的证言予以佐证。

6.哈尔滨铁路运输检察院出具的《关于“5•2”庆安枪击事件工作情况报告》《关于“5•2”庆安枪击事件的审查结论意见》证明:2015年5月2日,徐纯合在庆安县火车站候车室入口,无故阻止旅客进站,并对前来执行公务的民警辱骂、殴打,踢踹民警执勤室大门,后又向民警抛摔自己的幼女,抢下警棍殴打民警,被击毙。此次事件中民警时依法执行公务,使用枪支依规合法。

经吴淦确认,上述相关内容系其编写并发布于互联网。

9.天津市公安局电子证据检验鉴定中心津公(网安)检〔2016〕190号电子数据检查工作记录证明:经对与吴淦相关的新浪微博数据进行检查,在昵称为“快乐爱阳光公益”的账号(UID:2345898410)中搜索到与庆安县火车站袭警事件相关的历史微博15条,其中,2015年5月4日至5月12日发布的部分微博主要内容为,吴淦以提供法律援助为名与有关人员联系,介入庆安县火车站袭警事件。

10.福建省公安厅物证鉴定中心闽公鉴〔2015〕389号检验报告证明:在吴淦三星手机中发现昵称为“屠夫(吴淦)新号”的吴淦微信账号与昵称为“田东不隆冬杭”的田东杭微信账号之间的聊天记录,主要内容为,2015年5月5日,田东杭向吴淦陈述其目击的事发过程,明确称因徐纯合阻拦乘客进站,与警察发生口角,之后有抢夺民警警棍、袭警、拋摔孩子的行为。上述内容经吴淦签字确认,系其与田东杭的微信聊天内容。2015年5月8日,田东杭明确告知吴淦,关于吴淦发布的“徐纯合没有拋摔他女儿”等内容绝对是假的,其看见的一定是摔了孩子。经证人田东杭确认,上述昵称为“田东不隆冬杭”的微信账号系其使用的账号。经对吴淦三星手机、iPadmini中提取的数据进行分析、筛选,发现吴淦将其杜撰的“当地和新华社造谣徐纯合向警察抛摔女儿“以及《屠夫(吴淦)庆安击毙事件调查2》等不实言论转发给多人,并在多个微信群中散布。

11.被告人吴淦的供述:2015年5月初,其听说徐纯合仔庆安县火车站抢枪袭警,即与律师谢燕益联系,准备去哈尔滨,并在网络上公布了电话和邮箱,希望知情人或目击人提供相关资料。5月5日,其在前往哈尔滨的火车上联系上一个大连的目击证人,便到大连与这个人见面,该人说徐纯合打警察,扔小孩,并提供了现场视频和图片。其把证人提供的视频和采访录音,连同其撰写的评论《调查报告1十问》授权他人发布到境外网站博讯网上。后其在网上发布悬赏10万元征集庆安事件完整视频的信息。其还将本人撰写的评论《调查报告2》授权他人发到博讯网上。其本人将发布在博讯网上的内容也在推特上发布。

十三、在江西省高级人民法院门前滋事炒作

针对被告人吴淦及其辩护人提出的辩解和辩护意见,根据本案的事实和证据,本院评判如下:

1.关于被告人吴淦及其辩护人所提吴淦在北京羁押期间遭受刑讯逼供、疲劳讯问;部分讯问笔录中记载的关押地点与实际关押地点不符;部分讯问人员没有侦查权限,参与制作的讯问笔录没有效力,故申请排除吴淦自2015年7月5日至2016年1月8日的所有供述的辩解和辩护意见。

经查,天津市河西区看守所提讯提解证、立案登记表、立案决定书、公安部《关于对北京锋锐律师事务所相关人员涉嫌犯罪案件指定管辖的通知》、情况说明等证据证明,本案由公安部组织北京、天津、福建、山东等地公安机关办理,吴淦先后在福建、北京、天津等地羁押,福建、北京、天津公安机关对本案具有侦查权。公诉机关当庭出示的证据能够证明侦查机关讯问人员、讯问地点合法,且能够排除侦查机关存在以刑讯逼供等非法方法收集证据的情形。综上,公诉机关向法庭提交的被告人吴淦的供述能够作为定案证据使用,被告人及其辩护人的该项辩解和辩护意见,本院不予支持。

2.关于被告人吴淦及其辩护人所提在案所有电子数据的提取主体并非本案侦查机关,也没有侦查机关委托提取电子数据的手续,提取过程没有记录,电子数据收集的方式、方法不符合法律规定,不具有合法性,不能作为定案证据使用的辩解和辩护意见。经查,北京微梦创科网络技术有限公司出具的《关于“吴淦寻衅滋事”案的调证函复》《关于“吴淦诽谤”案的说明函复》和深圳市腾讯计算机系统有限公司出具的说明、微博注册资料、微博发文,以及在案远程勘验笔录、检验报告等证据证明,在案电子数据系福建、天津等地侦查机关分别从北京微梦创科网络技术有限公司、深圳市腾讯计算机系统有限公司等机构调去,从依法扣押的吴淦手机、ipadmini等原始储存介质中提取,以及通过远程勘验获取。福建、天津等地公安机关对本案具有侦查权,在案电子数据的收集主体适格、手续合法。勘验、检查笔录及检验报告均对勘验、检查、检验过程进行了说明,在案电子数据收集程序、方式符合法律规定及有关技术规范。被告人及其辩护人的该项辩解和辩护意见不能成立,本院不予采纳。

关于被告人吴淦机器辩护人所提公诉机关出示的网络上的部分文章和音频并非吴淦发布的原始内容,且不能确认是吴淦本人发布的辩解和辩护意见。经查,吴淦通过信息网络发布的部分文章及讲座音频内容不仅有在案电子数据予以证明,还有证人证言、视听资料以及吴淦的供述予以佐证,且相应文章及音频内容已经吴淦分别在侦查和庭审期间确认,系其本人编写并发布于信息网络。被告人及其辩护人的该项辩解和辩护意见不能成立,本院不予采纳。

关于被告人吴淦及其辩护人所提在案大部分证人与吴淦有利害关系,且证言之间相互矛盾,均系主观臆断,故不具有证明力;证人翟岩民、周世锋等人可能遭受刑讯逼供,相应证言不能作为定案根据的辩解和辩护意见。经查,本案证人作为具体事件的参与者,证言的内容是对吴淦言行和事件的直接感知和客观描述,并非主观臆断,且相关证言之间以及与在案电子数据、视听资料等证据之间能够互相印证,具有客观性、合法性、关联性,能够作为定案根据;吴淦及其辩护人对周世锋、翟岩民等人证言的合法性提出质疑,但未提供任何材料或者线索。被告人及其辩护人的该项辩解和辩护意见不能成立,本院不予采纳。

3.关于被告人吴淦及其辩护人所提在案所有证据不能证明吴淦主观上具有颠覆国家政权的犯罪故意,客观上实施了颠覆国家政权的犯罪行为;吴淦参与十二起案事件均事出有因,在网络上发布的内容均是事实,且在吴淦参与的具体案事件中,部分参与者或者未被刑事处罚、或者被以其他罪名定罪处罚,对吴淦以颠覆国家政权罪进行指控没有法律依据;吴淦在网络上发表“三大宝典”等言论和实施围观、炒作等行为均是公民行使宪法賦予的正当权利,既未针对国家政权,也未造成国家政权被颠覆的结果,故吴淦的行为不构成颠覆国家政权罪的辩解和辩护意见。

经查,根据刑法规定,颠覆国家政权罪是指行为人组织、策划、实施颠覆国家政权、推翻社会主义制度的行为,该罪的犯罪构成不要求有颠覆国家政权、推翻社会主义制度的实际危害后果发生,采取各种手段企图颠覆国家政权、推翻社会主义制度的,不论得逞与否,均构成该罪。在案证据证明,吴淦长期利用信息网络宣扬用以颠覆国家政权的“推墙”思想,对我国国家政权和社会主义制度进行攻击、诋毁。期间,吴淦将其炒作热点案事件的做法进行总结,发布了以攻击国家司法、信访等制度,传授与国家政权对抗方法、手段为主要内容的“三大宝典”。在“三大宝典”中,吴淦主张采取网上网下炒作滋事等手段,针对国家机关及其工作人员进行侮辱、贬损,借以攻击、对抗国家政权。吴淦在信息网络上发表的“三大宝典”、帖文及接受境外媒体采访时发布的言论,充分证明其主观上具有颠覆国家政权罪的犯罪故意,吴淦当庭亦承认其有颠覆国家政权思想。在此主观故意支配下,吴淦与他人相勾结,陆续炒作十二起热点案事件,对抗国家政权,攻击宪法所确立的国家制度,符合颠覆国家政权罪的构成要件。我国宪法赋予公民言论自由和对国家机关及其工作人员批评、建议、控告等权利的同时,规定公民在行使权利和自由的时候不得损害国家的、社会的、集体的利益和其他公民合法的自由和权利。吴淦在信息网络发表“三大宝典”等文章、言论,炒作热点案事件,或者借题发挥,放大矛盾,或者编造谣言、歪曲事实,不仅严重损害他人名誉,严重扰乱社会秩序,而且严重危害国家安全,系以反映诉求之名行颠覆国家政权之实,已超越了正当行使权利和自由的法律界限,触犯了刑法有关规定。同时,虽然具有同样的行为,但行为主体、主观故意以及造成的社会危害程度等不同,会构成不同的性质和情节。不能因参与相同案事件的人未受到刑事处罚或者被以其他罪名定罪处罚,就得出吴淦的行为不构成颠覆国家政权罪的结论。综上,被告人吴淦及其辩护人的该项辩解和辩护意见不能成立,本院不予采纳。

本院认为,被告人吴淦以颠覆国家政权、推翻社会主义制度为目的,通过在信息网络上散布颠覆国家政权的言论、炒作热点案事件等方式,攻击国家政权和宪法所确立的国家制度,严重危害国家安全和社会稳定,其行为已构成颠覆国家政权罪。公诉机关指控吴淦犯颠覆国家政权罪的事实清楚,证据确实、充分,指控罪名成立。吴淦犯罪行为积极、情节恶劣,社会危害性大,主观恶性深,应依法从严惩处,吴淦因本案相应事实被行政拘留的期限,依法折抵刑期。根据吴淦犯罪的事实、性质、情节和对于社会的危害程度,依照《中华人民共和国刑法》第一百零五条第一款、第六十一条、第五十六条第一款、第五十四条、第五十五条第一款、第五十八条的规定,判决如下:
