The Wall Street Journal reports that Chinese authorities have Xu Zhiyong, co-founder of a legal advocacy group called the Open Constitution Initiative, “escalating a clampdown on dissent ahead of the politically sensitive 60th anniversary of the founding of Communist Party rule.” Back in May, his organization released “a provocative report on Tibet that challenged Beijing’s official position on the causes of deadly riots last year in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa and other Tibetan parts of China.”
