Rights group claims China has unlawfully detained over 1,500 "prisoners of conscience" in six years.
A rights group, Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD), reports that China has unlawfully detained over 1,500 individuals, termed "prisoners of conscience," for peacefully exercising their rights over the last six years.
These detentions, which disproportionately affect women, ethnic minorities, and the elderly, may constitute crimes against humanity.
The average sentence is six years, with some facing life imprisonment.
The group links the rise in arbitrary detentions to President Xi Jinping's efforts to suppress dissent.
