TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The wife of jailed Taiwanese human rights activist Lee Ming-che
Lee Ching-yu. (By Central News Agency)
(李明哲) has received the necessary travel documents from China to travel there on March 26 and visit him, reports said Friday.
Lee, a former staff member of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, was detained when he crossed into China in March last year, supposedly for involvement in subversive activities, and sentenced to five years in prison at a widely criticized trial in November.
His wife, Lee Ching-yu (李淨瑜), will fly to Changsha, the capital of the province of Hunan, on March 26 and be allowed to visit him at the Chishan Prison the following day before returning to Taiwan on March 28, the Central News Agency reported.
Last year, she was allowed to attend his trial, though most of her other attempts to visit him failed as China refused to give her the necessary travel documents, leading her to be turned away at the airport. [FULL STORY]
