According to China Rights Defense Network, Wang Zang, a dissident poet imprisoned by the Chinese government on suspicion of “inciting subversion of state power,” met with his defense attorney, Lu Siwei, in prison on October 16.
Wang Zang introduced his recent situation. Wang Zang demanded the immediate release of his wife, Wang Liqin, who is still being illegally detained by police in Yunnan Chuxiong, China.
At the same time, the police told Wang Zang that Wang Liqin had been sent to a foreign hospital for anemia, but they did not inform him of her condition, and Wang Zang was concerned that she might be in poor health.
The police also coerced Wang Zang to fire attorney Zhang Lei and attorney Lu Siwei, but he said he would not give in.
The lawyer told Wang Zang that the prosecutor’s office might withdraw from investigating his case.
