Authorities in the northern Chinese province of Shaanxi have rejected an official complaint from family of detained rights lawyer Chang Weiping, who is currently under investigation for subversion of state power after he attended a December 2019 gathering of dissidents in the southeastern city of Xiamen.
Chang s wife Chen Zijuan said the family had complained that he had been tortured during a period of incommunicado detention known as residential surveillance at a designated location (RSDL) as well as about the way in which police were using interviews with people he had known to try to build a case against him.

HONG KONG - The aftermath of the 12 Hong Kong activists who fled the city and were detained in Mainland China continued last week, with the release of Hong Kong lawyer Daniel Wong Kwok-tung after 40 hours in police custody.
Wong, 71, was arrested along with 10 others over allegedly helping Hong Kong activists flee the city in August. Wong told a local media news conference he was “perplexed” about why he was arrested.
“I will remain standing in my role, with my expertise, do what I ought to and what I deeply believe in,” Wong said as he was released on bail.
