Chinese authorities have dismantled an illegal organization that sponsored activities jeopardizing China's national security.

The suspects, including a Swedish national, have been put under coercive measures in line with the criminal law.

According to a statement from Chinese police and national security authorities, the Swedish national, named Peter Jesper Dahlin, had been operating an unregistered "China emergency rights aid group" on the Chinese mainland with other people.

He had also received undeclared money from overseas and carried out unregulated activities.

Police say the organization hired and trained others to gather, fabricate, and distort information about China, providing a so-called "China's human rights report" to overseas organizations.

It also organized others to interfere with sensitive cases, deliberately aggravating disputes and instigating public-government confrontations to create mass incidents.

Dahlin was detained on January 3rd over charges of funding activities threatening China's national security.

He was later placed under residential surveillance.

A further investigation is underway.
