Messenger) Saturday July 15 11:06 AM ET Chinese Man Faces Trial Over Human-Rights Website BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese man who published information on the Internet about the 1989 military crackdown at Tiananmen Square will soon be tried for subversion and could face life in prison, a human rights group said Saturday. Human rights groups and family members had tried to persuade the government to release Huang Qi from police detention in the southwestern city of Chengdu and stop the prosecution. But police informed Huang's relatives Friday that he had been formally charged and would face trial for ``subverting state power,'' the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights & Democracy said. A conviction could potentially carry a life sentence. Huang, 36, had in the past won plaudits in state media for running a Web site which helped track down missing people. But he recently angered authorities by operating another Web site, http://www.6-4tianwang.com/, which published information on human rights and corruption in China, including the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen killings in which hundreds of civilians were shot. Huang and his wife were detained last month on the eve of the 11th anniversary of the crackdown, which remains a taboo subject in the Communist ruled state. His wife was later released. Huang's is one of several cases in recent years in which China has charged citizens with major crimes after they used the Internet to spread information about religion or human rights. In March 1998 the government jailed Shanghai entrepreneur Lin Hai for furnishing 30,000 Chinese e-mail addresses to an overseas electronic dissident newsletter. He was released in September last year. Members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual group have also been arrested for using the Internet to spread information about their faith and about government efforts to crush the movement.
