The China Human Rights Defenders website reports that on….
On August 3, Shuhan Law Firm of Chengdu City, Sichuan Province was searched by a group of local police.
The report goes on to say that the police presented a search warrant for the office and a summons for democracy activist Zhao Tianchun (???), who was staying temporarily at the law firm. However, the police didn’t manage to find Zhao in the operation and Li denied knowledge of Zhao?s whereabouts.
Zhao, from Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, was detained for investigation between 1987 and 1991 for ?organizing a counter-revolutionary group?. In recent years, Zhao has not been very outspoken and it is unclear why the police sought to question him.
Here at AALE we’re trying to imagine Mallesons, Clifford Chance or White & Case secreting enemies of the state. Our support goes out to Shuhan? Law Firm.
