Chinese police have detained a prominent rights lawyer suspected of "creating a disturbance", while another is feared to have been taken into custody after he said he was being followed, the latest examples of a sustained crackdown on dissent.
Dozens of Chinese rights lawyers, activists and grassroots agitators have been detained or have lost contact with friends and relatives since February, when fears of contagion from Middle East and North Africa uprisings triggered a crackdown by China's domestic security apparatus. (Reuters)
