Chinese rights activist Zeng Jinyan disappears

1 day ago

BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese human rights activist whose husband was jailed earlier this year has disappeared and may have been taken by police to prevent her from speaking to journalists during the Beijing Olympics, an overseas-based human rights group said Friday.

The group, Chinese Human Rights Defenders, said Zeng Jinyan disappeared on Thursday and has not been heard from. Zeng is married to activist Hu Jia, who was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison in April.

LauraF's thoughts:

This is shocking news - it is horribly clear that the Chinese government feel free to take any steps to silence criticism and dissent - confident that there will be no international outcry. Surely if there was ever going to be one step too far this is it - surely the Chinese government cannot get away with this?
