This year, he organised a protest. The protest was allegedly against police brutality against certain activists.
According to BBC News online, Zhisheng has represented members of Falun Gong, members of an underground church and others who had complained that they lost land to the Chinese authorities.
In August this year, Zhisheng was detained in Beijing. On 21st September 2006, Zhisheng was formally arrested "on suspicion of inciting subversion of state power".
According to his lawyer, Mo, he had to go personally to the prosecutors to learn of the charges against Zhisheng. Mo had also told Reuters that the police investigation could take several months before a decision is made on whether to charge Zhisheng or not.
For now, Zhisheng is detained indefinitely and his family members are not allowed to see him.
