Who was Lei Chen?
Lei Chen was an early leading figure in the movement to bring fuller democracy to the government of the Republic of China.
Lei Chen helped found and produce the periodical Free China, published beginning in 1950. He was arrested in 1960 and charged with treason and jailed; the charges are widely regarded as having been falsified by the Taiwan government and its then-ruling party the Kuomintang in response to Lei Chen's criticisms.
He was released in 1970, and died in 1979.
