Chen Ziming

Chen Ziming, China's "black hand" dissident paroled from prison last year under pressure from the Clinton Administration, has been returned to custody to serve out a 13-year sentence for sedition, apparently because of his recent participation in efforts aimed at a national reassessment of the 1989 Tian An Men Square incident. Family members said police surrounded Chen's home late Sunday night after revoking the research scholar's medical parole.
