Guo Feixiong |
Front Line Defenders, the International Foundation for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, recently reported on the detainment of Guo Feixiong. Guo, born Yang Maodong, was arrested on Aug. 8 on charges of “assembling a crowd to disrupt order in a public place.” Guo’s lawyer, Sui Muqing believes this arrest is related to Guo’s participation in the January protests concerning the censorship of Southern Weekend, a Chinese newspaper. Guo has a history of being harassed by the Chinese government. The full story can be viewed on Front Line Defenders website at http://frontlinedefenders.org/node/23566.
