Boxun’s reporter was informed that because of posting criticism of propaganda czar Liu Yunshan, detained famed rightist writer Tie Liu has been formally charged in court. His attorney Liu Xiaoyuan announced that on Wednesday February 11, at the expiry of the deadline for prosecution, Tie Liu’s wife heard from the Procuratorate that the case wouldn’t be pursued. She went to Chengdu’s Qingyang District Court and was told the case had not been registered with the court yet. Because of this, attorney Liu Xiaoyuan surmises that the case may be in the seven-day process of being registered for trial.

On the morning of September 14, 2014, Tie Liu was detained in Beijing on the charge of suspicion of creating a public disturbance. His family’s housekeeper Huang Jing was also detained on suspicion of creating a public disturbance. The two were detained in the Beijing Number One Detention Center. On October 22, 2015, Tie Liu was formally arrested on the charges of creating a public disturbance and engaging in illegal business. Huang Jing was also formally arrested on the charge of creating a public disturbance. On November 24, 2015, Tie Liu and Huang Jing were escorted to Chengdu and detained in the Chengdu Municipal Detention Center.

On December 19, the case was sent from the Chengdu (capital of Sichuan Province) Public Security Bureau to the Chengdu Procuratorate. On December 27, the Chengdu Procuratorate appointed the Chengdu Qingyang District Procuratorate to handle the case.
