Luo Yongquan
Freelance writer and poet, detained May 20, 2009, by the Public Security Bureau of Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, after two of his poems were broadcast by New Tang Dynasty Television. Luo was also a signatory of Charter 08. In June 2009, he was sentenced to two years of reeducation through labor (RTL) by the PSB.  He is currently being held in the Sanshui Detention Center for RTL in Fushan City, Guangdong Province, where he is reportedly forced to do 12-13 hours of forced labor without sufficient food.
