A court in China held a closed hearing on Monday in the case of a well-known Chinese activist. Wu Gan faces up to 10 years in prison. Legal observers expect the court to announce its decision in a few days. Wu is said to face up to 12 charges, including “inciting state subversion.” Wu is best known for making fun of official efforts to block his push for justice. Wu Gan is known in China by his online name: The Butcher. Wu once served in China’s military. He became famous by using unusual campaigns that combine online speech, street performance, and humor to criticize other people’s actions.
