BEIJING — Chinese authorities have freed a former newspaper reporter and cyber dissident who was jailed for subversion in 2003, a human rights group said Wednesday.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Huang Jinqiu was released from prison in October after serving eight years of a 12-year sentence, US-based Human Rights in China said in a statement.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Huang, who worked as a journalist for several newspapers and was a regular contributor to dissident news website Boxun, was arrested in September 2003 and convicted of subversion the following year.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
His sentence was reduced by nearly four years for manual labour he performed in prison and “other reasons”, the activist group said.<\/div>
 <\/div>
 While he was in prison, Huang was tortured and kept in solitary confinement for periods of time, it said.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The subversion charge related to Huang’s attempts to set up a democracy party online and recruit members to the organisation.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Political power in China is monopolised by the Communist party and authorities have ruled out a move to multi-party democracy.<\/div>
