(Tianjin, China—Jan. 13, 2016) Officials in China’s northern Tianjin Municipality formally arrested two prominent Chinese human rights lawyers on subversion charges today, according to Reuters.
Wang Yu and her husband Bao Longjun were both formally arrested and charged with “subversion of state power,” a serious charge, and “inciting subversion of state power,” respectively, according to Radio Free Asia.
China Aid joins other human rights organizations in expressing concern and outrage over Wang’s arrest.
