A 44-year-old Chinese activist, Wang Aizhong, was arrested last month on the charges of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' for speaking his mind on Twitter, a common offence used by China's authorities to stifle dissent. The veteran activist helped found the Southern Street Movement in Guangzhou 10 years ago, calling for an end to one-party rule, reported South China Morning Post.
