CHINA-US: HR LAWYER'S RELEASE

 


 45-year old Chen Taihe, a Chinese lawyer and Professor who was detained in Guilin along with over 200 lawyers and human rights activists in the Guangxi-Zhuang Autonomous Region last  July, fled to the US on March 1, 2016, after being released from surveillance. His pregnant wife and son, now 8, fled to the United States soon after and his second son now 6 weeks old was born in the United States. In a statement released on March 6, 2016, through the Dui Hua Foundation, Chen Taihe said “I am grateful to the Guilin police for dropping the charges against me and allowing me to be reunited with my family in the United States. I would also like to thank my American friends who helped make this possible. I sincerely hope that the Chinese government will also show clemency to those lawyers and citizens who have been arrested for subversion and inciting subversion.”
