The wife of Taiwanese democracy advocate Lee Ming-che has called on Beijing to
Lee Ching-yu (CNA)
allow visitation rights for his family.
Lee is being held in China on charges of “subverting state power”. During his recent trial, he did not object to the charges. He had been accused of promoting multi-party rule in group messaging chats.
Lee’s wife, Lee Ching-yu, said Wednesday that she is determined to visit her husband. Mrs. Lee said after attending her husband’s trial, she applied for a permit to return to China again, but there has been no response. She said the letters and books she wants to send to her husband have not been given to him.
Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council Minister Katharine Chang says the government is also demanding that China allow Lee’s wife visitation rights. [FULL STORY]
