They didn&#8217;t know each other, but all had one thing in common: They advocated for human rights and became caught up in what activists say is the Chinese government&#8217;s brutal crackdown on dissent.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Rights groups say President Xi Jinping&#8217;s wide-reaching sweep on perceived threats to both his rule and the Chinese Communist Party has led to the arrests of dozens of activists, bloggers, feminists, artists and lawyers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__read-all\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The men, who CNN spoke to in detail over the course of the last 12 months, describe being forcibly taken from their homes, detained for weeks, sometimes months, in secret prisons, denied communication with family and legal representation, strong-armed into making videotaped confessions, and ultimately released<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>without being convicted of a single crime.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Sui, Chen and Dahlin all say they were explicitly told not to talk about what happened to them, but have decided to speak out anyway. They say they want to shed light on the lengths to which China&#8217;s government will go to silence anyone it deems a threat.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">CNN reached out to the Chinese government for comment on each of the cases in this story, but received no response. Beijing has said regularly in the past that it does not torture prisoners and maintains these lawyers and activists are criminals dealt with under the law.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Two days later, on July 12, the same thing happened to Chen. He said police asked him to come down from his apartment to answer a few questions. &#8220;I intentionally left my cell phone upstairs in my apartment because I thought I&#8217;d be back in a few minutes.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t return for six weeks.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">During a period of less than a week,\u00a0at least 146 lawyers and their families were detained in a nationwide swoop according to\u00a0China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group<a href=\"http:\/\/cnn.com\/2015\/07\/13\/china\/china-activists-arrests\/index.html\">.<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Rights groups say the roots of the crackdown on lawyers can be traced back to an\u00a0editorial\u00a0in the overseas edition of state-run People&#8217;s Daily in July 2012, which warned the United States would use five categories of people to destabilize the Communist Party&#8217;s near seven-decade rule. Rights advocates and lawyers were at the top of the list.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Dahlin, a Swedish national who co-founded a Beijing-based NGO that provided legal aid and training to Chinese lawyers, wasn&#8217;t caught up in the first wave of detentions, and assumed his status as a foreigner might offer him some protection.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">In early January 2016, however, he got tipped off authorities might be after him. He was about to depart for Beijing airport when 20 police officers turned up at his apartment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">They detained him and his girlfriend and they ransacked his home, he says, seizing computers and documents.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Dahlin says he was accused of masterminding a plan to smuggle the son of Wang Yu, the first lawyer to be detained in the swoop, into Myanmar, in an effort to evade authorities in October 2015.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">He said investigators realized early on he had nothing to do with it, but instead of letting him go, quickly turned their attention to his NGO &#8212; Chinese Urgent Action Working Group &#8212; pressing him to give up information about his colleagues and other activists his group worked with.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Authorities said\u00a0that Dahlin worked for an illegal organization that sponsored activities that jeopardized China&#8217;s national security. The NGO said it &#8220;undertakes rapid response assistance for rights defenders in need.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">By October 2017,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrlawyers.hk\/en\/content\/%E2%80%98709-crackdown%E2%80%99-latest-data-and-development-cases-1800-17-october-2017\" target=\"_blank\">some 321 lawyers,<\/a>\u00a0rights activists, their family members and staff had been caught up in the 709 crackdown, according to the China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15432\" src=\"https:\/\/nawacita.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/China-lawyers-300x182.png\" alt=\"China lawyers\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nawacita.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/China-lawyers-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/nawacita.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/China-lawyers-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/nawacita.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/China-lawyers-696x422.png 696w, https:\/\/nawacita.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/China-lawyers-693x420.png 693w, https:\/\/nawacita.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/China-lawyers.png 929w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>How lawyers disappear<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">A key tool in the crackdown has been a relatively new form of detention. In 2012, China introduced &#8220;residential surveillance at a designated location&#8221; (RSDL) into<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cecc.gov\/resources\/legal-provisions\/criminal-procedure-law-of-the-peoples-republic-of-china\" target=\"_blank\">the Criminal Procedural Law.<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">It appeared to legalize a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cnn.com\/2012\/11\/14\/business\/china-hotel-black-jail\/index.html\">long-used practice of &#8220;black jails&#8221;\u00a0<\/a>&#8212; a means of temporarily detaining people outside the Chinese legal system who could not be immediately charged with a crime.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The government\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2009\/11\/11\/china-secret-black-jails-hide-severe-rights-abuses\" target=\"_blank\">denied black jails existed in 2009<\/a>. But in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.people.cn\/90882\/7663173.html\" target=\"_blank\">2011 Chinese state media<\/a>\u00a0reported on a campaign by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to crack down on them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The amended law says residential surveillance shouldn&#8217;t exceed six months but requires detainees&#8217; families be notified within 24 hours, unless they can&#8217;t be reached, and guarantees all suspects the right to a lawyer, with whom a meeting should be granted within 48 hours of a request.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Critics of the new system and former detainees say it gives arbitrary detention a legal gloss and normalizes enforced disappearances. Earlier this year,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beta.theglobeandmail.com\/news\/world\/canada-10-other-countries-call-out-china-for-torturing-human-rights-lawyers\/article34346186\/?ref=http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com&amp;\" target=\"_blank\">11 countries<\/a>\u00a0called on China to end the practice and investigate reports of torture against human rights lawyers.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/EN\/NewsEvents\/Pages\/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=16241&amp;LangID=E\" target=\"_blank\">The UN High Commission on Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0has also called on China to halt the detention of lawyers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"el__embedded el__embedded--fullwidth\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"el__embedded el__embedded--fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Although they were held at opposite ends of the country, Sui, Chen and Dahlin all describe similar conditions: Sparsely furnished rooms with black-out curtains on the windows and fluorescent lights kept on 24-hours a day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">They say they slept on a single bed, and were not allowed any reading or writing materials. Guards were always in the room watching their every move, even when they used the bathroom.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing to look at except some very beige-looking suicide padding on the wall,&#8221; said Dahlin.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">He described being so bored he almost looked forward to the daily interrogations, &#8220;because at least you&#8217;re taken out to another room &#8230; and have some kind of interaction with people.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The interrogators used methods which Dahlin said reminded him of &#8220;bad American movies.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;They would have lots of people rush into your cell at night surrounding your bed just trying to scare you,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Chen, a professor who advocated for a US-style jury system in China on his blog, was first accused of &#8220;picking quarrels and provoking troubles,&#8221; &#8212; a vague charge often used by Chinese authorities that can carry a 10-year prison sentence. He told CNN he refused to admit any wrongdoing during a 20-hour interrogation, but then found himself sharing a jail cell with inmates accused of crimes ranging from petty theft to murder.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;The cell was so crammed I had to ask other prisoners to make room so I could urinate and defecate,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t have a spoon or chopsticks to eat with. We&#8217;d get one scoop of rice and would have to eat it with our hands.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">After a month, Chen said he was told to collect his belongings. He thought he was going home &#8212; but instead was driven to what appeared to be an abandoned hotel and held for another 10 days.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Earlier this year, CNN visited the nondescript building where Chen said he was held in Guilin, a southern city famed for its stunning landscape of karst mountains. Signs posted around the area in Chinese and English marked it as military property, but it otherwise appeared open and accessible.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Local officials denied that the building was used as a secret detention center.<\/div>\n<div class=\"el__embedded el__embedded--fullwidth\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"el__embedded el__embedded--fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<h3>&#8216;You have to confess&#8217;<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The rights activists held captive weren&#8217;t just concerned about their own well being. They say their loved ones were also threatened.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Dahlin&#8217;s interrogators made it clear that they&#8217;d keep his girlfriend, a Chinese national, in custody for as long as it took to resolve his case.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;She was taken hostage just to put pressure on me,&#8221; he said. Dahlin asked about his girlfriend every day but got limited answers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;They said she was being treated quite well. That she was being given yoghurt and fruit and things like that. She was allowed to make a few drawings and do yoga in her room,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They knew she had nothing to give them.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Finally, after more than three weeks, Dahlin was told he was going to be released &#8212; but he had to do one thing:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cnn.com\/2016\/01\/19\/asia\/china-sweden-tv-confession\/index.html\">confess on camera.<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">He said he knew what authorities were really going to do with it. But wanting to speed up his release &#8212; and that of his girlfriend &#8212; Dahlin agreed to play his part.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">He was taken into a room where a woman from state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) was sitting with a cameraman. Dahlin was handed a piece of paper with the questions that she would ask and the answers he would give.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;I have caused harm to the Chinese government. I have hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. I apologize sincerely for this,&#8221; Dahlin said in the confession broadcast nationwide and splashed across state-run newspapers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Immediately after its broadcast activists denounced it as a forced confession &#8212; one of many that have been shown on CCTV in the years since Xi came to power.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Sui and Chen said they had to make similar &#8220;confessions.&#8221; All three men now maintain their innocence, but they said they had no choice but to do as authorities wanted.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Sui says he admitted to charges of inciting subversion. Chen told CNN he confessed to charges of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, inciting subversion and embezzlement.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;You have to confess,&#8221; Chen said. &#8220;Otherwise they won&#8217;t let you go.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"el__embedded el__embedded--fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"el__video--fullwidth js__video--fullwidth\" data-autoplay=\"false\">\n<div id=\"media__video_body-text_92--wrapper\" class=\"js-media__video media__video\">\n<div class=\"media__video--thumbnail-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video__end-slate--inactive video__end-slate js-video__end-slate\" data-eq-pts=\"xsmall: 0, small: 300, medium: 460, large: 780\" data-eq-state=\"xsmall small medium large\">\n<div class=\"l-container\">\n<div class=\"video__end-slate__top-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"js-el__video__replayer-wrapper el__video__replayer-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media__image\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.cnn.com\/cnnnext\/dam\/assets\/170920170107-xi-jinping-tease-04-large-169.jpg\" alt=\"Xi Jinping's rise to power\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-el__video__replayer-wrapper el__video__replayer-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<h3>No end in sight<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The crackdown on lawyers is still taking place.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">On Tuesday, a court in Changsha, central China sentenced human rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong to two years in prison after convicting him of inciting subversion against the state.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">In August, he had confessed in a trial that was streamed live online and watched by his wife Jin Bianling in California.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;He used to tell me, if I ever admit to a crime like this, it means I&#8217;ve been tortured,&#8221; Jin said.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Jiang was a prominent human rights lawyer who had represented some of his colleagues targeted in the 709 crackdown, and was an outspoken critic of the government. He disappeared in November 2016, en route to catching a train from the central city of Changsha to Beijing. Months went by before the authorities confirmed he had been detained.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;Please give me another chance to be a human being &#8230; and to make up for my wrongdoings,&#8221; Jiang told a panel of three judges at his August trial.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Albert Ho, a Hong Kong-based activist with the China Human Rights Lawyer Concern Group, said Jiang, like other lawyers his group has spoken to, likely admitted to the charges in order to live to fight another day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;Only an idiot would believe that he is truly speaking from his heart,&#8221; Ho said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<h3>Sleeping with a knife<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Six days after his &#8220;confession&#8221; was broadcast on CCTV, Dahlin was released and expelled from China. His girlfriend was also released without charge.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Dahlin is now based in Thailand, but has trouble forgetting his time in detention.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;Early on it was quite extreme. Every little noise at night would wake me up. I&#8217;d sleep with a knife next to my bed, ready to stab the first Chinese person who comes into my gate,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Wang Yu, the first lawyer detained in the 709 crackdown,<a href=\"http:\/\/cnn.com\/2016\/08\/02\/asia\/china-lawyer-wang-yu-confession\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0was charged with subversion,<\/a>\u00a0while her husband was charged with inciting subversion. They were both released on bail after more than a year in custody, after Wang&#8217;s taped confession was aired on CCTV.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">In it, Wang renounced her legal work and blamed &#8220;foreign forces&#8221; for using her law firm to undermine and discredit the government. Their son, who was detained along with them, was released soon afterward, but his movements have been heavily restricted.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Authorities never aired Chen&#8217;s statement. He was released a day after recording it and the charges against him were dropped.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;I have no criminal record, but they can still use the video to discredit me,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Chen and his family now live in US, where he&#8217;s a visiting scholar at the University of California&#8217;s Hastings Law School and studies the US jury system. He said he won&#8217;t return to China until it becomes more democratic.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Sui was released on bail after his &#8220;confession,&#8221; which was also never broadcast. He continues to practice law in Guangzhou, but said his movements have been restricted and fears the worst may still be yet to come.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s increasingly difficult to maintain a harmonious society through brainwashing,&#8221; Sui said.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">&#8220;The only resort left is violence. For anyone who&#8217;s not submissive, a brutal crackdown is on the way.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Editing by Katie Hunt &#8211; cnn.com<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-el__video__replayer-wrapper el__video__replayer-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"video__end-slate__tertiary-title\"><\/h4>\n<div class=\"js-video__end-slate__tertiary video__end-slate__tertiary\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body-text_92\" class=\"media__video--responsive \" data-video-id=\"world\/2017\/10\/17\/china-leader-xi-jinping-original-watson-pkg.cnn\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beijing, nawacita (CNN) &#8211;\u00a0Sui Muqing says he was forced to stay awake while he was interrogated for more than four days.
