Few lawyers are brave enough to speak for framed lawyer Li Zhuang, but Wu Danhong is the only one from academia who is bold enough to defend the illegal maneuvers of the Chongqing authority in the trail.
Coincidentally, in another high-profile case, murder of Qian Yunhui, Wu was the only one jumped out to question legality of revealing evidence of torture of witness by the police. Wu claimed police entitled the rights to torture, and that lawyer were not allowed by law to reveal.
After the 7/23 bulletin train accident, Wu set up a self-labelled grass root 'Anti-Rumor' Alliance organization, which closely collaborated with the central propaganda department and CCP controlled media to 'clarify' rumors spread on the Internet. 'Rumors' targeted by Wu's Alliance were later proved to be facts. Documents leaked from Wu's Alliance showed pro-Democratic activists were specifically targeted.
Wu endorsed the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law to allow the government unlimited secret detention power over human rights activists and political dissidents.
What a professor of the top law school in China.
