水”“中华泪”的网名在境外《大纪元》、《博讯》等网站上发 表《十一是中华民族的灾难
日》、《谆劝中共的当权派》等大量文章，攻击中国共产党领导，称人民民主专政政权是
“专制政权”，意图推翻现行国家政权和社会主 义制度。其中在《十一是中华民族的灾难
日》中称：“十月一日，中共命之为国庆日。这是专制的国庆，十一应该是中华民族的灾
难日。”在《谆劝中共的当权派》 中称：“赤贫、落后、野蛮、暴虐笼罩了大陆。专制是
人性的公敌！”在《人人有权反对专制》中称：“专制制度本身是一种绝对的独夫民贼。这
样的独夫民贼，人 人得而诛之。”在《我们对民主大党的期待》中称：“我们认为目前威
胁中国国民幸福生活的主要势力不是台独，而是大陆的专制势力。”在《反思中国民运》
中 称：“中国共产主义运动，本质是暴民运动”，“眼前的旧体制，将彻底走向它的坟墓。”

国过渡政府”的活动中，被告人杨同彦当选为“民主中国第一 届临时过渡政府”秘书处成员
和各省市政权和平交接工作委员会江苏省接受成员，并在《大纪元网》网站发表《划时代
的天鹅绒行动》一文，鼓吹‘天鹅绒行动’是 划时代的，其以一个新式的民运方式，在网络
上通过自由民主选举来产生的‘民主中国过渡政府’是合法的政府。
2005 年 4 月，被告人杨同彦遵循敌对组织“中国民主党的纲领、章程，秘密组建中国民主
党苏皖分部筹备组”，并发展组织成员。
2005 年 2 月，被告人杨同彦接受境外“民主中国阵线”副主席盛雪等人的资金 500 欧元。同
年 12 月，接受澳大利亚孙立勇的资金 500 澳元，所接受的资金部分用于资助曾因危害国
家安全罪被判刑的王文江等人及其近亲属。
为了证实上述指控的犯罪事实，公诉人当庭询问了被告人，宣读了证人证言、提取证据记
录、现场勘查笔录、扣押物品清单，并出示了物证、书证、现场摄像 照片等证据。据此，
公司机关认为，被告人杨同彦组织、策划、实施颠覆国家政权，推翻这社会制度的活动，
罪行重大，其行为已触犯《中华人民共和国刑法》第一 百零五条第一款，应当以颠覆国
家政权罪追究刑事责任。被告人杨同彦与境外机构。组织、个人勾结，实施颠覆国家政权、
推翻社会主义制度的犯罪活动，依照《中 华人民共和国刑法》第一百零六条之规定，从
重处罚。被告人杨同彦曾因犯组织、领导反革命集团罪被判处有期徒刑，在刑罚执行完毕
以后，再犯颠覆国家政权罪， 依照《中华人民共和国刑法》第六十五条、第六十六条之
规定，以累犯论处，应当从重处罚。
被告人杨同彦对起诉书指控其再境外网站上发表以及参加“天鹅绒行动”和接受境外资金后
部分用于资助曾因危害国家安全罪被判刑的王文江等人及其近亲属 的事实不持异议，但
辩称：1. 撰写文章在境外网站发表自己的见解，是自己追求民主的一种表达方式，因而不
构成犯罪；2. 起诉书指控自己秘密组建“中国民主党苏皖分部筹备组”的事实证据不充分，
自己仅有组党的意图，仅写了《中国民主党苏皖筹备组宣言》，并没有发展组织成 员；3.
自己接受境外资金，用于资助曾因危害国家安全被判刑的人及近亲属，属于人道主义救济。
其辩护人的辩护意见是：1. 被告人杨同彦撰写文章批评、攻击我国人民民主政权和社会主
义制度，不是颠覆国家政权的活动，而是思想表达的一种方式，其不具有颠覆国家政权的
主观故 意；2. 被告人杨同彦发表文章支持“天鹅绒行动”已经与中国民主党毫无关系的准
备组党活动，不是颠覆国家政权的行为；3. 被告人杨同彦接受海外自己部分用于资助他人
的人道主义行为不是颠覆国家政权的组成部分。

Zhenjiang (Jiangsu) Intermediate People’s Court Criminal Verdict
Zhenjiang Crim. First Trial No. 12 (2006)
Prosecuting organ is the Zhenjiang (Jiangsu) People’s Procuratorate.
Defendant Yang Tongyan, male, born February 21, 1962 in Siyang County, Jiangsu,
Han ethnicity, university graduate, unemployed. Household registration at Apartment
201, No. 9 Huiyuan Street, Baixia District, Nanjing, Jiangsu; temporarily resides at
Apartment 203, Unit 2, Building 10, Taiping Gardens, Jiangning District, Nanjing,
Jiangsu. In July 1991 he was convicted of the crime of organizing or leading a
counterrevolutionary group and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment with subsequent
deprivation of political rights for four years. On May 31, 2000, he was released upon
completion of [that] sentence. Placed under residential surveillance on December 23,
2005 on suspicion of having committed the crime of subversion, and arrested on
January 20, 2006. Currently in custody at the Dantu District Detention Center in
Zhenjiang.
Defense attorneys are Li Jianqiang and Lan Fang of the Shandong Huaguan Law Firm.
The Zhenjiang (Jiangsu) People’s Procuratorate issued indictment No. 013 [2006]
charging the defendant Yang Tongyan with the crime of subversion and brought
charges for prosecution in this court on April 25, 2006. Pursuant to the Jiangsu Higher
People’s Court’s decision on designating jurisdiction, this court filed the case for trial,
formed a collegiate bench in accordance with the law, and heard the case in closed
court on May 16, 2006. The Zhenjiang People’s Procuratorate designated Deputy
Procurator-General Dong Xinjian, Procurator Chen Dong, and Deputy Procurator Jin
Qinghua to appear in court for the prosecution. Defendant Yang Tongyan and his
defense attorneys Li Jianqiang and Lan Fang were also present in court to participate in
the proceedings. This trial has now been concluded.
The Zhenjiang People’s Procuratorate charged that: From May 2002 to December 2005,
defendant Yang Tongyan, using the online pseudonyms “Yang Tianshui” and “China’s
Tears,” posted numerous articles on Epoch Times, Boxun, and other overseas web
sites, including articles such as “October First is China’s Day of Calamity” and “An
Admonition to the Chinese Communist Ruling Clique,” in which he attacked the
leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, called the people’s democratic dictatorshipsocialist system. In “October First is China’s Day of Calamity,” he wrote: “The Chinese
Communist Party has named October First as its national holiday. This is despotic
China’s national day; October First should be a day of calamity for the Chinese people.”
In “An Admonition to the Chinese Communist Ruling Clique,” he wrote: “Abject poverty,
backwardness, barbarianism, and brutality are rife on the mainland. Dictatorship is the
public enemy of human nature!” In “Everyone Has the Right to Oppose Tyranny,” he
wrote: “The authoritarian system is itself a kind of absolute autocrat and traitor to the
people. Everyone has the right to punish such traitors.” In “Our Hopes for the Great
Democracy Party,” he wrote: “We believe that the main threat to the happiness of the
citizens of China today is not Taiwan independence but tyrannical forces on the
mainland.” In “Pondering the Chinese Democracy Movement” he wrote: “The
communist movement of the Chinese Communist Party is in essence a mob movement”
[and] “The old system before us now will be thoroughly [undone] and sent to its grave.”
In March 2005, defendant Yang Tongyan took part in the “online ballot” to elect a
“Democratic Chinese Transitional Government” that was launched by the overseas
group “Velvet Action of China,” and he was elected to the Secretariat of the “First
Democratic Chinese Provisional Transitional Government” as well as a member for
Jiangsu of the working committee for peaceful handover of authority in provinces and
cities. Further, in an article posted on the Epoch Times website entitled “The Epoch-
making Velvet Action,” he claimed: “‘Velvet Action’ is epoch-making, and the
‘Transitional Democratic Chinese Government’ born out of a new model of people’s
movement, through an online free and democratic election, is a legal government.”
In April 2005, defendant Yang Tongyan, adhering to the platform and charter of the
hostile overseas organization “China Democracy Party,” secretly formed and recruited
members for the “Preparatory Committee for the Organization of the Jiangsu-Anhui
Branch of the China Democracy Party.”
In February 2005, defendant Yang Tongyan received €500 in funds from Sheng Xue,
deputy chairman of the “Democratic China Front.” In December of that year he accepted
A$500 from Sun Liyong of Australia. These funds were in part used to [provide]
assistance to individuals convicted of the crime of endangering state security, such as
Wang Wenjiang, and to their close relatives.
To demonstrate the above-mentioned criminal facts as charged, the prosecutors
examined the defendant in court; presented witness testimony, records of evidence
collection, transcripts of on-scene investigations, and a list of items seized; and
produced photographic and written evidence, photos taken at the scene, and other
evidence. On this basis, the prosecution held that the defendant Yang Tongyan
organized, plotted, and carried out activities [aimed at] subverting state power and
overthrowing the socialist system. His criminal actions [constitute] a major crime and
violate the provisions of Article 105, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law of the PRC, and
he should be held criminally liable for the crime of subversion. [Because] defendant
Yang Tongyan colluded with organs, organizations, or individuals overseas to carry out
his criminal activities [aimed at] subversion and the overthrow of the socialist system, in
accordance with the provisions of Article 106 of the Criminal Code of the PRC, severe
punishment should be imposed. [Because] defendant Yang Tongyan had been
convicted and sentenced for the crime of organizing or leading a counterrevolutionary
group in the past and committed the crime of subversion after his penalty had been
executed, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 65 and 66 of the Criminal Code
of the PRC, severe punishment should be imposed for recidivism.
Defendant Yang Tongyan did not dispute the indictment’s allegation that he postedfrom overseas which he used in part to [provide] assistance to individuals convicted of
the crime of endangering state security, such as Wang Wenjiang, and to their close
relatives, but argued that:
1. Writing articles to express his own views and posting them on overseas
websites was a means of expressing one’s aspirations for democracy and
thus did not constitute a crime.
2. The factual evidence for the indictment’s allegation that he secretly formed
a “Preparatory Group of the Jiangsu-Anhui Branch of the China
Democracy Party” was insufficient. He had only the intention to form a
party and had only written a “Declaration of the Preparatory Group of the
Jiangsu-Anhui Branch of the China Democracy Party” but had done
nothing to recruit members.
3. He did receive funds from overseas and used these in part to assist
persons who had been convicted of the crime of endangering state
security and their close relatives, but this fell under the category of
humanitarian relief.
Yang’s defense attorney submitted that:
1. Defendant Yang Tongyan’s written articles criticizing and attacking
China’s people’s democratic dictatorship and socialist system were not
actions taken to subvert state power, but rather a means of expressing
ideas with no subjective intent to subvert state power.
2. Defendant Yang Tongyan’s actions in posting an article in support of
“Velvet Action” as well as in his preparations to form a party, during which
he had no contact with the China Democracy Party, were not actions of a
subversive nature.
3. Defendant Yang Tongyan’s humanitarian actions in using monies received
from overseas in part to provide aid to others did not
constitute subversion of state power.
In the course of the trial it was determined that: From May 2002 to December 2005,
defendant Yang Tongyan, using the online pseudonyms “Yang Tianshui” and “China’s
Tears,” posted numerous articles on Epoch Times, Boxun, and other overseas web
sites, in which he attacked the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the
people’s democratic dictatorship and attempted to overthrow the existing state power
and the socialist system.
In March 2005, defendant Yang Tongyan took part in the “online ballot” to elect a
“Democratic Chinese Transitional Government” that was launched the overseas group
“Velvet Action of China,” and he was elected to the Secretariat of the “First Democratic
Chinese Provisional Transitional Government” as well as a member for Jiangsu of the
working committee for peaceful handover of authority in provinces and cities. Further, in
an article posted on the Epoch Times website entitled “The Epoch-making Velvet Action”
in which he claimed such things as: “‘Velvet Action’ is epoch-making, and the
‘Transitional Democratic Chinese Government’ born out of a new model of people’s
movement, through an online free and democratic election, is a legal government.”
In April 2005, defendant Yang Tongyan, adhering to the platform and charter of the
hostile overseas organization “China Democracy Party,” secretly formed and recruited
members for the “Preparatory Committee for the Organization of the Jiangsu-Anhui
Branch of the China Democracy Party.”
In February 2005, defendant Yang Tongyan received €500 in funds from Sheng Xue,
deputy chairman of the “Democratic China Front.” In December of that year he accepted
A$500 from Sun Liyong of Australia. These funds were in part used to [provide]
assistance individuals convicted of the crime of endangering state security, such as
Wang Wenjiang, and to their close relatives.
To demonstrate the above facts, the following evidence was adduced and cross-
examined in court during the trial and has been affirmed by this court:
1. A memorandum from the Ministry of Public Security of the PRC verifying
that the “China Democracy Party” is a hostile organization, which confirms
that the China Democracy Party has chapters in China and overseas, is
antagonistic to China’s people’s democratic dictatorship and the socialist
system, and organizes, plots, and carries out activities that endanger state2. Electronic data retrieved from the Internet and archived by the Zhenjiang
Public Security Bureau, which, having been identified and signed by
defendant Yang Tongyan, confirms that defendant Yang Tongyan, using
the online pseudonyms “Yang Tianshui” and “China’s Tears,” posted a
large number of articles on Epoch Times, Boxun, and other overseas web
sites, including “October First is China’s National Day of Calamity,” “An
Admonition to the Chinese Communist Ruling Clique,” “Everyone Has the
Right to Oppose Tyranny,” “Our Hopes for the Great Democracy Party,”
“On the Chinese Democracy Movement,” and “Thoughts from Behind Bars,
No. 5: Form a New Party, Expand Unity, Strengthen the Fighting Capacity
of the Overseas Democracy Movement.”
3. Electronic data retrieved and archived by the Zhenjiang Public Security
Bureau from the article “The Epoch-Making Velvet Action,” which, having
been identified and signed by defendant Yang Tongyan, confirms that
defendant Yang Tongyan participated in the “Velvet Action of China.”
4. Electronic data retrieved and archived from the computer and computer
floppy disks belonging to the criminal Xu Wanping by the Chongqing
Public Security Bureau, which confirms that defendant Yang Tongyan
[participated] in the Velvet Action of China and was elected to the
Secretariat of the “First Democratic Chinese Provisional Transitional
Government” and as a member for Jiangsu of the working committee for
peaceful handover of authority in provinces and cities.
5. Electronic data retrieved and archived from the computer of defendant
Yang Tongyan by the Zhenjiang Public Security Bureau, which was
identified and signed by defendant Yang Tongyan. The document
“Declaration of the Preparatory Group of the Jiangsu-Anhui Branch of the
China Democracy Party” written by the defendant confirms that he was
adhering to the program and charter of the hostile organization “China
Democracy Party” in secretly forming and recruiting members for the
“Preparatory Committee for the Organization of the Jiangsu-Anhui Branch
of the China Democracy Party.”
6. Electronic data retrieved and archived from the computer of defendant
Yang Tongyan by the Zhenjiang Public Security Bureau, which was
identified and signed by defendant Yang Tongyan. The online article
written by Zhao Xin, “Encouragement for Yang Tianshui, Who Joins
Thought to Action,” confirms that in April 2005, when defendant Yang
Tongyan and Tao Shiji met Zhao Xin at the Sun Yatsen Mausoleum in
Nanjing, [Yang] informed Zhao Xin of a plan to form in secret the
“Preparatory Group of the Jiangsu-Anhui Branch of the China Democracy
Party.”
7. Testimony of deposed witness Lin Xiaowei, which confirms that in the first
part of March, Lin Xiaowei heard Tao Shiji say that Yang Tongyan was in
charge of preparatory work for the Jiangsu-Anhui Branch of the China
