(I'm back from China now. So good to be able to access my blog again! This is a quick post about new developments in the Li Zhuang case. Li Zhuang was the Beijing lawyer who tried to defend a "gangster" in Chongqing and was jailed himself last year. )
In English:
- China Drops Charges Against Lawyer (WSJ)
- Charges of witness tampering don't stick (China Daily)
- Prosecutors in China Drop Charges Against Lawyer (NYT)
In Chinese:
