HONG KONG—A Chinese defense lawyer says he has learned that an interview with Voice of America’s Mandarin service is being cited in an indictment against his client, Yu Shiwen, a former student leader of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Zhang Xue Zhong Thursday said the court documents accuse Yu of causing public disorder by giving an interview to VOA about a private June 4 memorial he held with friends last year.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
According to the indictment, the information became highly viewed content among Internet users who watched, commented on and shared it, causing serious public disorder.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Zhang said the accusation of disorderly behavior, as well as the evidence, are baseless.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“Posting information on the Internet, including videos and accepting interviews are also legal.  Because he [Yu] made this information public, making it known to people, in other words clicking on relevant websites, constitutes a crime, I think this is simply something you can’t say has a legal basis.  It completely violates human reason; it has no common sense,” he said.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The indictment lists 28 foreign news services, including Voice of America, and bringing up the question of whether the disorder occurred in China or abroad.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Chinese authorities have not commented on the indictment.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Yu was among more than 10 human rights activists detained in Zhengzhou ahead of last year’s anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.  He is the only one still being detained.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Zhang said the court has rejected his appeal for Yu to be released from custody because of a deteriorating medical condition.<\/div>
