China women's activists 'to be freed'

Written By Unknown on Senin, 13 April 2015 | 22.24

A LAWYER says the families of three of five Chinese women's rights activists detained in Beijing have been informed that they will be freed.

LIANG Xiaojun said family members of the three were on Monday told they would be given a form of conditional release that still allows charges to be brought later.

Lawyers for the women, Wang Man, Zheng Churan and Wei Tingting, did not answer phone calls, and contacts for their family members were not immediately available. Calls to the Haidian District Detention Centre in western Beijing rang unanswered on Monday night.Liang said no such notice had been received for his client, Wu Rongrong, or for the fifth woman, Li Tingting, and it wasn't clear whether they would face charges.The five were detained last month as they prepared to distribute materials against domestic violence on International Women's Day on March 8. They were accused of creating a disturbance and, if convicted, could be sentenced to up to three years in prison. Five others detained at the same time have since been released.Their case has brought international expressions of concern, including from US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power, Britain's Foreign Office and the European Union.Beijing police have refused to comment on the case and China's Foreign Ministry has responded angrily to questions about it, demanding that critics "stop interfering in China's judicial sovereignty in such a manner".
