Wife of Chinese Rights Lawyer Visits Husband for First Time in Four Years

Joyce Huang

   For the first time in four years, the wife of rights lawyer Wang
   Quanzhang was allowed to visit her husband, who is serving a
   4-and-a-half-year sentence in a jail in east China's Shandong province.

   Wang's wife Li Wenzu, their six-year-old son and his elder sister
   visited with the lawyer Friday afternoon. Li has long expressed worries
   about Wang's deteriorating health.

   After the cell visit, which lasted half an hour, Li told reporters that
   Wang exhibited "a change in his personality and looked agitated, thin
   and weak," according to a news report onhk01.com.tw

   Being brainwashed?

   Li expressed concern over the possibility of Wang being brainwashed,
   the report added.

   "[I] finally saw him today. But I felt he was in a terrible mental
   condition, unlike what I have imagined. It was hard to communicate with
   him normally. He seemed impatient and, in particular, worried about my
   safety," Li told Radio Free Asia.
