human rights

Taipei Times - archives: "The US granted political asylum to the wife and children of jailed Chinese civil rights lawyer Guo Feixiong (郭飛雄), who the family says is suffering abuse, supporters said on Saturday.

Guo, who is serving a five-year prison sentence for “running an illegal business,” became well-known for his work on behalf of villagers who tried to remove a local boss of the Chinese Communist Party accused of corruption.

His wife, Zhang Qing (張青), their teenage daughter and eight-year-old son sneaked out of China into Thailand in February, said ChinaAid, a US-based group that supports underground Christians."
