Zhu Yufu

Zhu Yufu , born 13 February 1953 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, is a political dissident. In 1998, he was one of the founders of the unrecognized Democracy Party of China (DPC). He also founded the "Opposition Party" magazine, carrying articles about the DPC. He was jailed for publishing a poem that directed people to participate in the 2011 Chinese pro-democracy protests. EveryOne Group has sent an appeal to the Beijing government, calling for the release of the poet. The Italian poet Roberto Malini wrote two poems on the case of Zhu Yufu, which are published in his book "Dichiarazione" (Piombino, March 2013).

On March 3, 2021, two days before the annual plenary sessions of 2021, Zhu's political rights were restored by the authorities.
