Lee Ming-che (李明哲), who is being held in Hunan Province, China on charges of subversion of state power, arrived in Changsha City in China on Sunday to attend her son’s court hearing.
Kuo Hsiu-chin (郭秀秦) arrived in Changsha, the capital city of Hunan, at 2:24 p.m., accompanied by two Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) coordinators and legal consultant Hu Yuan-lung (胡原龍).
Faced with a barrage of questions by reporters at the Changsha airport, Kuo said nothing but “thank you” in a soft voice. She and company then boarded a van and departed for Yueyang, a prefecture-level city in northeastern Hunan.
The Yueyang Intermediate People’s Court is scheduled to hear Lee’s case on Monday. Earlier Sunday, Lee’s wife Lee Ching-yu (李凈瑜) flew from Taipei to Shanghai en route to Changsha. [FULL STORY]
