Chen Daotsun was arrested on 9 May, 2008, several days after he participated in a protest action against building of an electric station and oil-refinement plant in Penchjou. According to information of local human rights activists, the journalist also supported protests of Tibet people indignant at the policy of Chinese authorities. In order to find the journalist guilty, the court needed only a half an hour. Chen Daotsun in vain tried to pursue the court that he was only criticizing the Communist Party but did not call to throw it down.
