internet - Blogger Du Daobin arrested

Du Daobin, a civil servant from Hubei, has been formally arrested, according to the official newswire Xinhua. Du has been posting 'subversive' messages on the internet and "accepted funds from overseas organizations and individuals" with the aim to overthrow China's socialist system.
Du was already in detention since October and was accused by a spokesman of the Hubei provincial Public Security Bureau (the Chinese name for the police) of overstepping his legal rights to critizice the government.
Last week rumors in the blogging community suggested he would be released because of lack of evidence.
