Nan Anh and a couple other officials who are now in prison for the crimes.

Chen Nhu, who was detained in China for months in 2015 as a suspected hacker, will be given a chance to have a second chance as well.

He has no case against him, and his detention has been lifted, a senior Chinese government official said in Beijing on Monday. Chen’s arrest had triggered outrage in the U.S. and abroad, and his lawyer, Chen Guangcheng, spent seven years in jail for his work at Greenpeace during the 2010 protests in China’s eastern Sichuan province.

His wife, Wen Zhuo, also made headlines when she was detained in 2010, accused of “gathering support” for terrorism. It took more than a year or more to get her release.

It was in April 2012, a few months after her release, that Tiananmen’s anniversary that Chen’s case reached the top of China’s political agenda and attracted nationwide attention. During her time in custody, Tiananmen Square was closed.

She later spent five years in a Chinese-run American prison camp. When she was released last November — she was finally set free in 2015 — she was still facing charges stemming from her participation in the 2011 crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators.

China has not released information on the whereabouts of Nan, but it has been widely reported that she has made multiple visits to the U.S., where she lived this past summer and participated in the Miss Universe pageant.

If found guilty of the crime, she could be sentenced to up to life in prison on charges of “inciting subversion of state power” after the 1989 crackdown of the student protests from which she and a few others were imprisoned.

The official also praised Tiananmen Square’s rehabilitation to demonstrate how modern Communist China has developed and expanded its democracy as a powerful message for other countries dealing with similar social and political changes. It has also shown that an individual’s character can be reformed through the courts and rehabilitation programs, he said.

At the end of the trial, the defense said there were indications that Chen may have made up stories at the last minute about his role with the protest group with which she had been involved.

“The prosecutors’ allegations have been false. There was no need to use false data to make up the story,” Chen Nhu’s lawyer, Chen Gu, told reporters
