US urges China to let lawyer return home after ‘unjust detention’
Wang Quanzhang has been barred from reuniting with his family after serving nearly five years in prison for ‘subversion’
The US has called for Chinese authorities to allow a prominent human rights lawyer to return home, after having spent almost five years in “unjust detention”.
Wang Quanzhang was released two weeks ago after serving four-and-a-half years for “subversion”, but told Hong Kong’s Cable TV on Monday that the authorities were still stopping him from returning home and being reunited with his family.
