一、生平与教育背景1. Early Life and Education

丁家喜1967年8月17日出生于湖北省宜都市一个农村家庭。1980年代，他考入北京航空航天大学，先后取得工学学士和工学硕士学位，所学专业与飞机制造有关。1990年至1996年，他先后在沈阳航空工业总公司和北京航空工业总公司任工程师，是同代人中典型的技术精英出身。Ding Jiaxi was born on August 17, 1967, into a rural family in Yidu, Hubei Province. In the 1980s he was admitted to Beihang University in Beijing, where he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering, specializing in aircraft manufacturing. From 1990 to 1996 he worked as an engineer, first at the Shenyang Aviation Industry Corporation and then at the Aviation Industry Corporation in Beijing — a classic technical-elite background for his generation.

在北航读研究生期间，丁家喜业余自学法律，1994年通过律师资格考试，1996年正式转行成为专职律师，先后在北京多家律师事务所执业。2003年，他参与创办北京市德鸿律师事务所并任高级合伙人，主要业务是公司并购重组、投资、破产和知识产权保护。据公开报道，到2013年，德鸿所已有20多名律师，年收入约2500万元。丁家喜还担任过北京律师协会企业重组专业委员会委员、中国民主同盟中央法制委员会委员等职务，2011年获评「北京市十佳知识产权律师」。按任何世俗标准，他都属于已经功成名就、本可以安稳度日的人。While a postgraduate at Beihang, Ding studied law on his own, passed the bar examination in 1994, and became a full-time lawyer in 1996, working at several Beijing firms. In 2003 he co-founded the Beijing Dehong Law Firm as a senior partner, practicing mainly in corporate mergers and acquisitions, investment, bankruptcy, and intellectual property. By 2013, according to public reports, Dehong had more than twenty lawyers and annual revenue of about 25 million yuan. Ding also served on committees of the Beijing Lawyers Association and the legal committee of the China Democratic League, and in 2011 was named one of Beijing's top ten intellectual-property lawyers. By any conventional measure he was a successful man who could have lived out his days in comfort.

二、走向公民运动：教育平权与财产公示2. The Road to the Citizens' Movement: Education Equality and Asset Disclosure

丁家喜的转折发生在执业多年之后。他参与了许志永等人创办的「公盟」，并逐渐成为新公民运动的主要组织者和协调人之一。新公民运动以「自由、公义、爱」为理念，参与者通过同城聚餐、公民聚会等形式讨论公民权利、教育平等、反腐败和宪政等议题。在朋友郭飞雄的说法里，许志永是这个运动的「头脑」，丁家喜则是负责联络和执行的「心脏」。Ding's turning point came years into his legal career. He joined the Open Constitution Initiative (Gongmeng) founded by Xu Zhiyong and others, and gradually became one of the principal organizers and coordinators of the New Citizens Movement. Under the banner of 'freedom, justice, love,' participants met for dinners and civic gatherings to discuss civil rights, equal education, anti-corruption, and constitutionalism. In the words of his friend Guo Feixiong, Xu Zhiyong was the movement's 'brain,' while Ding Jiaxi was its 'heart' — the one who kept the network connected and running.

自2010年起，丁家喜参与推动随迁子女教育平权，要求进城务工人员的子女能在父母工作地就近参加高考，而不是被户籍制度赶回原籍。2012年12月，他与许志永、孙含会、王永红等人发表公开信，呼吁包括新任中共中央总书记习近平在内的高级官员率先公开个人财产，并推动公民联署，联署人数超过7000人。2013年初，丁家喜等人在北京等地走上街头，举牌要求官员公示财产。这些活动全部和平、公开，依据的是中国宪法和法律条文本身。From 2010, Ding campaigned for equal education rights for the children of migrant workers, demanding that they be allowed to sit the college entrance exam where their parents worked instead of being sent back to their places of household registration. In December 2012, he, Xu Zhiyong, Sun Hanhui, Wang Yonghong, and others published an open letter calling on senior officials — including the newly installed CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping — to take the lead in disclosing their personal assets; the accompanying citizens' petition gathered more than 7,000 signatures. In early 2013 Ding and others took to the streets in Beijing and elsewhere, holding placards demanding asset disclosure. All of these activities were peaceful and public, grounded in the text of China's own constitution and laws.

三、第一次入狱（2013—2016）3. First Imprisonment (2013–2016)

2013年4月17日，丁家喜被北京市公安局刑事拘留，住所、办公室和车辆被搜查。他最初所涉罪名是「非法集会」，随后变更为「寻衅滋事」，再变更为「聚众扰乱公共场所秩序」。2013年5月24日，他被北京市人民检察院第一分院批准逮捕，关押在北京市第三看守所。全国一百多名律师组成后援律师团声援，江西新余的刘萍、魏忠平、李思华等人也因公开声援并要求官员公开财产而被抓捕判刑。On April 17, 2013, Ding was criminally detained by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau; his home, office, and car were searched. The charge against him shifted repeatedly — first 'illegal assembly,' then 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble,' then 'gathering a crowd to disrupt order in a public place.' On May 24, 2013, his formal arrest was approved by the First Branch of the Beijing Municipal People's Procuratorate, and he was held at the Beijing No. 3 Detention Center. More than one hundred lawyers nationwide formed a support group for him; in Xinyu, Jiangxi, Liu Ping, Wei Zhongping, and Li Sihua were themselves arrested and sentenced for publicly supporting the asset-disclosure campaign.

2014年1月，丁家喜、李蔚等人的案件在北京市海淀区人民法院开庭。辩护律师指法庭限制质证和辩护，丁家喜等人一度当庭解除律师委托，庭审因此休庭。2014年4月18日，海淀区法院以「聚众扰乱公共场所秩序罪」判处丁家喜有期徒刑三年六个月；同案的赵常青被判两年六个月，李蔚、张宝成各被判两年。丁家喜提出上诉，北京市第一中级人民法院于2014年7月经书面审理维持原判。2016年10月，丁家喜刑满出狱。三年半的牢狱没有改变他的选择：出狱后，他继续从事公民倡导，联络各地的维权人士和律师。In January 2014 Ding, Li Wei, and others were tried at the Haidian District People's Court in Beijing. Defense lawyers protested that the court restricted cross-examination and defense arguments; Ding and his co-defendants at one point dismissed their lawyers in open court, forcing an adjournment. On April 18, 2014, the Haidian court sentenced Ding to three years and six months for 'gathering a crowd to disrupt order in a public place'; Zhao Changqing received two and a half years, and Li Wei and Zhang Baocheng two years each. Ding appealed; in July 2014 the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court upheld the verdict after a written review. Ding was released in October 2016. Three and a half years in prison did not change his course: after release he resumed his civic advocacy, keeping in contact with rights defenders and lawyers across the country.

四、出狱后的封锁与厦门聚会4. Blocked from Travel; the Xiamen Gathering

出狱后的丁家喜处于当局的严密监控之下，行动自由被层层收紧。2018年，他被禁止登机前往美国——他的妻子罗胜春和两个女儿早已移居美国，一家人长期分隔两地。2019年，当局又阻止他前往香港，理由是他「可能危害国家安全和利益」。一个曾经的成功律师，连出境探亲的权利都被剥夺，理由从不需要向他出示任何法律文书。After his release, Ding lived under close surveillance and his freedom of movement was progressively tightened. In 2018 he was barred from boarding a flight to the United States — his wife Luo Shengchun and their two daughters had long since emigrated there, and the family remained separated across the Pacific. In 2019 the authorities also blocked him from traveling to Hong Kong, on the grounds that he 'might endanger national security and interests.' A once-successful lawyer was stripped even of the right to leave the country to see his family, and no legal document justifying it was ever shown to him.

2019年12月7日至8日，丁家喜与许志永等二十余名律师和活动人士在福建厦门聚会，一起吃饭、讨论中国公民社会的状况和时事。聚会是私人的、和平的，内容无非是吃饭交谈。2019年12月26日起，当局在全国多地对聚会参与者展开抓捕，这一天后来被称为「12·26大抓捕」。丁家喜于12月26日在北京被山东省烟台市公安局的警察带走，没有向家属出示任何法律通知。许志永一度藏匿，2020年2月15日在广州被北京警方抓获。其他参与者中，常玮平、李翘楚、张忠顺等人后来分别被判刑，戴振亚、李英俊等人被监视居住后取保，几乎所有参与者及其部分亲友都被施加出境限制，至今未解除。On December 7–8, 2019, Ding, Xu Zhiyong, and more than twenty lawyers and activists gathered in Xiamen, Fujian, sharing meals and discussing the state of Chinese civil society and current affairs. It was a private, peaceful gathering — people eating and talking. Beginning on December 26, 2019, the authorities launched arrests of participants across the country, in what became known as the '12.26 crackdown.' Ding was taken in Beijing on December 26 by officers of the Yantai Municipal Public Security Bureau from Shandong Province, with no legal notice shown to his family. Xu Zhiyong went into hiding and was seized by Beijing police in Guangzhou on February 15, 2020. Among the other participants, Chang Weiping, Li Qiaochu, and Zhang Zhongshun were later sentenced to prison; Dai Zhenya and Li Yingjun were placed under residential surveillance and then released on bail; nearly all participants, and some of their relatives, were placed under exit bans that remain in force.

五、指定监视居住、酷刑指控与起诉5. Designated-Location Surveillance, Torture Allegations, and Indictment

被带走后，丁家喜被「指定居所监视居住」六个月——关押在秘密地点，与外界完全隔绝，不能会见家属，也不能会见律师。联合国专家指出，这种羁押形式构成秘密拘留，属于强迫失踪的一种形式。据丁家喜的辩护律师彭剑在法庭上披露以及家属转述，丁家喜在指监期间遭受酷刑和虐待：被长时间固定在铁制「老虎凳」上审讯，每天超过十小时；长期睡眠剥夺；强光噪音干扰；限制饮食饮水；长时间不许动弹；不见阳光，不能洗澡、刷牙、换衣服。许志永在同一地点遭受了类似对待。这些指控从未得到当局的调查回应。After he was taken, Ding was held for six months under 'residential surveillance at a designated location' (RSDL) — confined at a secret site, completely cut off from the outside world, with no access to family or lawyers. UN experts have stated that this form of detention constitutes secret detention and a form of enforced disappearance. According to disclosures by Ding's defense lawyer Peng Jian in court, relayed by his family, Ding was tortured during RSDL: strapped to an iron 'tiger chair' for interrogations lasting more than ten hours a day; prolonged sleep deprivation; exposure to loud noise; restricted food and water; forced immobility for long periods; no sunlight, no showers, no tooth-brushing, no change of clothes. Xu Zhiyong, held at the same site, was treated similarly. The authorities have never investigated or responded to these allegations.

2020年6月19日，丁家喜与许志永被正式逮捕，罪名是「煽动颠覆国家政权」，两人被转移到山东省临沭县看守所关押。在看守所里，他们继续遭受恶劣对待：食物不足、放风时间极短、卫生条件差、没有热水。据家属披露，从被拘到判刑后转监的近四年里，两人被禁止使用纸笔，不能读书看报。2021年1月，罪名被加重为「颠覆国家政权」。2021年8月，两人被临沭县人民检察院起诉。起诉书把组织「公民运动」、建立Telegram群组、组织厦门聚会，以及两人撰写的文章，都列为「颠覆」的证据。丁家喜与罗胜春曾申请排除以酷刑取得的口供等非法证据，没有结果。家属委托的律师长期被拒之门外，连起诉书都难以取得。On June 19, 2020, Ding and Xu were formally arrested on suspicion of 'inciting subversion of state power' and transferred to the Linshu County Detention Center in Shandong. There, mistreatment continued: insufficient food, extremely short yard time, poor sanitation, and no hot water. According to family disclosures, for nearly four years — from detention until after sentencing — the two men were denied pen and paper and could not read books or newspapers. In January 2021 the charge was upgraded to the more serious 'subversion of state power.' In August 2021 both were indicted by the Linshu County People's Procuratorate. The indictment cited organizing the 'Citizens Movement,' creating a Telegram group chat, organizing the Xiamen gathering, and the men's own essays and articles as evidence of 'subversion.' Ding and Luo Shengchun applied to have illegally obtained evidence — confessions extracted under torture — excluded; the applications went nowhere. The lawyers chosen by the families were kept out for years and could scarcely even obtain the indictment.

六、秘密审判与十二年重判6. Secret Trial and a Twelve-Year Sentence

2022年6月22日，丁家喜案在山东省临沭县人民法院秘密开庭。庭审闭门进行，一天审完，家属没有得到通知，自聘律师不被允许参与，旁听席上坐的是什么人，外界无从得知。开庭之后又是近十个月的沉默。2023年4月10日，临沭县人民法院宣判：丁家喜以「颠覆国家政权罪」被判处有期徒刑十二年，剥夺政治权利三年；同一法院以同一罪名判处许志永有期徒刑十四年。法院官员拒绝向媒体证实判决，律师被禁止公布判决书——罗胜春是从律师和人权组织处拼凑出判决结果的。On June 22, 2022, Ding's case was tried in secret at the Linshu County People's Court in Shandong. The hearing was held behind closed doors and finished in a single day; the family received no notice, the family's chosen lawyers were not permitted to participate, and who sat in the gallery remains unknown. Nearly ten months of silence followed. On April 10, 2023, the Linshu County Court delivered its verdict: Ding was sentenced to twelve years in prison for 'subversion of state power,' plus three years' deprivation of political rights; the same court sentenced Xu Zhiyong to fourteen years on the same charge. Court officials declined to confirm the sentences to the media, and lawyers were forbidden from publishing the judgment — Luo Shengchun had to piece the outcome together from lawyers and rights organizations.

两人提出上诉。2023年11月，山东省高级人民法院二审维持原判。此后两人依法提出申诉（再审申请）。一个县级法院，以闭门一天的庭审，判处了两名中国最知名的公民运动参与者合计二十六年监禁——案件从侦查到审判，始终由山东一地的公安、检察和法院系统包办，与聚会发生地福建、两人居住地北京都没有关系，管辖安排本身从未得到公开解释。Both men appealed. In November 2023 the Shandong Provincial High Court upheld the original verdicts. The two subsequently filed petitions for retrial. A county-level court, in a single closed day of hearings, sentenced China's two best-known citizens'-movement participants to a combined twenty-six years in prison. From investigation to trial, the case was handled entirely by the police, procuratorate, and courts of one corner of Shandong — it had nothing to do with Fujian, where the gathering took place, or Beijing, where the men lived — and this jurisdictional arrangement has never been publicly explained.

宣判当天，罗胜春在美国通过电话告诉路透社和法新社记者，她手里没有判决书的任何细节，因为律师被禁止公布判决文件、也不敢透露判决的地点和罪名；临沭县法院的官员则拒绝向媒体证实判决。她说，她不会让当局就这样轻易地把丁家喜和许志永关进监狱，她会继续追问到底。同一天，人权观察发表声明，谴责这场充满程序问题和虐待指控的审判。换言之，这份合计二十六年的判决，是在被判刑者家属都拿不到判决书的情况下，由记者和人权组织从侧面证实并公布于世的。On the day of sentencing, Luo Shengchun told Reuters and AFP by telephone from the United States that she had no details of the judgment, because the lawyers were forbidden to publish the verdict documents and did not dare reveal where the men had been sentenced or on what charges; an official of the Linshu County Court declined to confirm the sentences to reporters. She said she would not let the authorities jail Ding Jiaxi and Xu Zhiyong so easily, and would keep demanding answers. The same day, Human Rights Watch condemned trials riddled with procedural problems and allegations of mistreatment. In other words, verdicts totaling twenty-six years were confirmed and made known to the world sideways — by journalists and rights groups — while the convicted men's own families could not even obtain the judgment.

七、狱中处境：江北监狱7. In Prison: Jiangbei Prison, Hubei

判决生效后，丁家喜被转送到湖北省江北监狱服刑（位于荆州市江陵县）。据家属和人权组织持续披露，他在狱中受到严密的单独管控：被取消户外「放风」，不能到室外活动；通信仅限直系亲属的信件，且信件被严格审查、扣留；不许打电话；购买和阅读书籍受到限制；亲属探视长期无法实现。据中国人权捍卫者网络（CHRD）2025年12月发布的酷刑问题报告及罗胜春证实，上述限制在2025年仍在持续，丁家喜的放风待遇达不到国际最低标准。罗胜春说，他很少获准到户外活动，不能致电家人，往来信件受到严格审查。After the verdict took effect, Ding was transferred to Jiangbei Prison in Hubei Province (in Jiangling County, Jingzhou). According to continuing disclosures by his family and rights organizations, he is held under strict, isolated control: outdoor exercise time ('yard time') has been cancelled and he is not allowed outside; correspondence is limited to letters from immediate family and is strictly censored and withheld; telephone calls are forbidden; purchasing and reading books is restricted; family visits have long been impossible to arrange. A December 2025 report on torture by the Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD), confirmed by Luo Shengchun, records that these restrictions continued through 2025 and that his exercise time falls short of minimum international standards. Luo says he is rarely allowed outdoors, cannot phone his family, and that their letters are strictly censored.

丁家喜的刑期十二年，自2019年12月被羁押之日起折抵计算。截至2026年10月，他已失去自由近七年。2026年内，家属和律师没有就其狱中近况发布新的公开声明，其最新健康状况无法独立核实——这本身就是信息封锁的一部分：外界对他的了解，完全取决于狱方愿意放出多少消息。Ding's twelve-year sentence is credited with the time he has been held since December 2019. As of October 2026 he has been deprived of liberty for nearly seven years. During 2026, neither family nor lawyers have issued new public statements about his condition inside, and his current state of health cannot be independently verified — itself a feature of the information blockade: everything the outside world knows about him depends on how much the prison chooses to let out.

自2019年12月之后，罗胜春和两个女儿再也没有见过丁家喜本人。她们对他的了解，只剩下律师偶尔带出的话和狱方信件审查后留下来的只言片语。2024年8月丁家喜57岁生日时，罗胜春公开记录道，他将再次独自在牢房里度过生日。一个家庭就这样被一道国境线和一座监狱的高墙切成两半：一半在美国的听证会上讲述，另一半在湖北的监狱里沉默。Since December 2019, Luo Shengchun and her daughters have not seen Ding Jiaxi in person. What they know of him comes only from words occasionally carried out by lawyers and from fragments that survive the prison's censorship of letters. In August 2024, on Ding's fifty-seventh birthday, Luo recorded publicly that he would once again spend his birthday alone in a cell. A family is thus cut in two by a national border and a prison wall: one half testifying at hearings in America, the other half silent in a Hubei prison.

八、家属：罗胜春与两个女儿8. The Family: Luo Shengchun and Two Daughters

丁家喜与罗胜春1993年结婚，有两个女儿，一家人早年生活在北京。罗胜春后来带两个女儿移居美国，丁家喜则留在中国继续公民工作，一家人自此分隔两地，只能靠他偶尔获准出境探亲团聚——2018年连这一可能也被堵死。2019年12月26日丁家喜被带走的消息传到美国时，两个女儿震惊得不知所措；据罗胜春说，女儿们此后选择尽量不提父亲，大女儿至今不愿在家里谈论这件事。因为丁家喜是在圣诞节次日被捕的，圣诞节从此成了这个家庭的痛苦日子，母女三人自2019年起再没有一起在家中过圣诞。Ding Jiaxi and Luo Shengchun married in 1993 and have two daughters; the family lived in Beijing in the early years. Luo later emigrated to the United States with the girls while Ding stayed in China to continue his civic work, and the family was separated across the Pacific, reuniting only when he was occasionally allowed to travel — a possibility closed off entirely in 2018. When news of his December 26, 2019 arrest reached the United States, the two daughters were, Luo says, stunned into silence; afterwards they chose as far as possible not to speak of their father, and the elder daughter still will not discuss the subject at home. Because Ding was arrested the day after Christmas, the holiday has become a painful date for the family; since 2019 the three of them have not spent a Christmas together at home.

罗胜春没有沉默。她在美国持续为丈夫发声：会见美国国务院官员和国会议员，在美国国会汤姆·兰托斯人权委员会等场合讲述丁家喜的遭遇，接受路透社、法新社、美国之音等媒体采访，一遍遍说明同一件事——她的丈夫只是参加了一次私人聚会。她对国际特赦组织说，她清楚知道参加私人聚会不触犯任何法律，这些公民一天也不应该被囚禁，她要为撤销此案奔走到底。2024年，罗胜春辞去工作，全职投入倡导，并参与创办「公民权利同盟」（Alliance for Citizens Rights），把丁家喜、许志永的个案与更广泛的中国人权议题一起带到国际场合。她讲述个案时总是从家庭的角度切入——她说，这是让国际社会听懂这些案件的最好方式。Luo Shengchun did not stay silent. From the United States she has campaigned continuously for her husband: meeting U.S. State Department officials and members of Congress, recounting Ding's case before bodies such as the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the U.S. Congress, and giving interviews to Reuters, AFP, Voice of America, and other outlets — repeating one point: her husband had only attended a private gathering. She told Amnesty International that she knows clearly that attending a private gathering violates no law, that these citizens should not be imprisoned for a single day, and that she will campaign to overturn the case to the end. In 2024 Luo resigned from her job to advocate full-time and co-founded the Alliance for Citizens Rights, bringing the cases of Ding Jiaxi and Xu Zhiyong, together with broader Chinese human-rights issues, into international forums. She always approaches the cases from a family's perspective — the best way, she says, to make the international community understand them.

其实早在2020年1月、丁家喜被带走还不到一个月时，罗胜春就已经开始公开呼吁。她为国际人权组织录制视频说：她的丈夫是个好人、一个好公民，中国需要更多像他这样的人。此后近七年，从视频呼吁到辞职全职倡导，从华盛顿的听证会到厦门聚会案五周年的联署声明，她的声音没有停过。丁家喜案卷宗里没有罗胜春的名字，但这桩案件的历史里，她是最重要的记录者之一：官方不公开的判决日期、不承认的关押地点、不回应的酷刑指控，许多都是先经她之口，世界才得以知道。In fact, Luo began speaking out publicly as early as January 2020, less than a month after Ding was taken. In a video recorded for an international rights organization she said her husband was a good man and a good citizen, and that China needed more people like him. For nearly seven years since — from video appeals to resigning her job for full-time advocacy, from hearings in Washington to the joint statement on the fifth anniversary of the Xiamen case — her voice has not stopped. Luo Shengchun's name appears nowhere in Ding Jiaxi's case file, yet she is one of the most important chroniclers of this case: the sentencing date the authorities would not announce, the place of detention they would not acknowledge, the torture allegations they would not answer — in many instances the world learned of them first from her.

九、国际反应9. International Response

丁家喜案从一开始就受到国际社会关注。国际特赦组织将丁家喜和许志永认定为良心犯，一再要求立即无条件释放。联合国任意拘留问题工作组就两人的羁押发表意见，认定其拘留违反国际法、属于任意拘留，要求立即释放。联合国人权事务高级专员沃尔克·蒂尔克公开表示，对两人的判决不符合国际人权法标准。2023年4月判决后，美国国务院谴责判决并要求放人；人权观察称这两份判决和刑期「残酷而荒唐」（cruelly farcical）。The case drew international attention from the start. Amnesty International designated Ding and Xu prisoners of conscience and has repeatedly demanded their immediate and unconditional release. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued opinions finding their detention arbitrary and in violation of international law, and called for their immediate release. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk stated publicly that the verdicts did not meet the standards of international human rights law. After the April 2023 verdicts, the U.S. State Department condemned the sentences and demanded the men's release; Human Rights Watch called the convictions and sentences 'cruelly farcical.'

奖项在狱中接踵而至。2021年，丁家喜获「中国人权律师奖」。2023年，美国国务院授予他「全球人权捍卫者奖」；同年，欧洲律师协会委员会（CCBE）授予他年度人权奖。2024年12月厦门聚会案五周年之际，国际特赦组织发表声明要求放人，三十多家人权组织联署发表联合声明，指出两人在过去五年里遭受了任意拘留、酷刑和不公正审判，仅仅因为参加了一次私人聚会。2025年12月，CHRD的酷刑问题报告再次点名丁家喜的狱中处境。这些声明和奖项都没有改变临沭县法院的判决书，但它们构成了一份与官方档案平行的记录：一份记录说他是「颠覆国家政权」的罪犯，另一份记录说他是良心犯和人权捍卫者。哪一份经得起时间检验，不言自明。Honors reached him in prison. In 2021 Ding received the China Human Rights Lawyer Award. In 2023 the U.S. Department of State gave him its Global Human Rights Defender Award, and the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) gave him its annual Human Rights Award. In December 2024, on the fifth anniversary of the Xiamen gathering case, Amnesty International issued a statement demanding release, and more than thirty rights organizations signed a joint statement noting that over five years the two men had suffered arbitrary detention, torture, and unfair trials merely for attending a private gathering. CHRD's December 2025 torture report again named Ding's prison conditions. None of these statements and awards has altered the Linshu County Court's judgment — but they form a record parallel to the official file: one record calls him a criminal guilty of 'subverting state power,' the other calls him a prisoner of conscience and a human rights defender. Which of the two will withstand the test of time needs no elaboration.

十、同案的其他人10. The Others in the Same Case

厦门聚会案不是一桩两个人的案子。聚会参加者二十余人，在此后几年里被逐个清算：律师常玮平2020年10月被以指定监视居住方式关押、据其自述遭受酷刑，2023年6月被陕西省宝鸡市凤县人民法院以「颠覆国家政权罪」判刑三年六个月，2024年7月刑满出狱，但仍被禁止出境；女权与劳工活动人士李翘楚——许志永的伴侣——因在网上呼吁关注此案、探望同案人员，2021年2月被抓，2024年2月5日被临沭县人民法院以「煽动颠覆国家政权罪」判刑三年八个月，2024年8月刑满出狱，同样被限制出境并被剥夺政治权利；烟台大学教师张忠顺因被指在家中存放与聚会有关的物品，2024年11月被判刑四年六个月。戴振亚、李英俊等人在监视居住后取保获释，却长期不能出境。一场二十多人的饭局，换来的是至少五人入狱、几乎全体被限制离境——这张清算清单的长度，本身就是这桩案件最准确的注脚。The Xiamen gathering case was never a case of two men alone. More than twenty people attended the gathering, and over the following years they were dealt with one by one. Lawyer Chang Weiping was held under RSDL in October 2020 and, by his own account, tortured; in June 2023 the Feng County People's Court in Baoji, Shaanxi, sentenced him to three years and six months for 'subversion of state power'; he was released in July 2024 but remains banned from leaving China. Feminist and labor activist Li Qiaochu — Xu Zhiyong's partner — was arrested in February 2021 for campaigning online about the case and visiting fellow detainees; on February 5, 2024, the Linshu County Court sentenced her to three years and eight months for 'inciting subversion'; she was released in August 2024, likewise under an exit ban and deprived of political rights. Zhang Zhongshun, a teacher at Yantai University, was sentenced in November 2024 to four and a half years over items allegedly stored at his home in connection with the gathering. Dai Zhenya and Li Yingjun were released on bail after residential surveillance but have long been barred from leaving the country. A dinner of some twenty people thus produced at least five prison sentences and exit bans on nearly everyone — the length of that reckoning list is the most accurate footnote to this case.

本站点评Our Take

丁家喜案的全部「罪行」可以列成一张清单：呼吁官员公开财产、要求随迁子女平等参加高考、参加一次私人聚会、在网上写文章。就这些行为，一个人先被判三年半，出狱后再被判十二年。这个案子展示的司法逻辑是：罪名可以不断升级——从「扰乱秩序」到「煽动颠覆」再到「颠覆国家政权」——变的不是行为，而是当局对行为的定性需要。审判放在偏远县城、闭门一天审完、判决书不许公开、酷刑指控从不调查、家属律师从头到尾被挡在门外，每一个环节都说明这不是审判失误，而是制度设计：先定罪，后走程序。把聚会定为颠覆，等于宣布公民连一起吃饭说话的权利都不存在。Ding Jiaxi's entire list of 'crimes' fits on one line: calling on officials to disclose their assets, demanding equal examination rights for migrant children, attending a private gathering, and writing essays online. For this, a man was sentenced first to three and a half years and then, after his release, to twelve more. The judicial logic the case displays is that the charge can be escalated at will — from 'disrupting order' to 'inciting subversion' to 'subversion of state power' — while the conduct stays the same; what changes is the label the authorities need. A trial staged in a remote county town, closed to the public, finished in a day, with the judgment barred from publication, torture allegations never investigated, and family lawyers shut out from beginning to end: every element shows this was not a judicial error but institutional design — verdict first, procedure afterwards. To define a dinner gathering as subversion is to declare that citizens do not even have the right to eat and talk together.
