"They gave a bunch of documents to his mother."[4] Guo's defense attorney Guo Lianhui commented that Guo made his differing political views public, and the authorities mobilized the state machinery to suppress him: "my client published a series of articles called 'Democratic Voice' and pointed out that there is no democracy and observance of human rights in China."[5] On October 15, 2009, Guo was sentenced to serve ten years in prison.[6] References
