Lindsay Beck: U.S. rights activist says harassed in China

From The Boston.com:

An American human rights activist said she was interrogated by Chinese state security and narrowly escaped detention in Beijing last month, the latest indication of a tightening climate for media and intellectuals.

Sharon Hom, executive director for the New York-based Human Rights in China, told Reuters late on Sunday night that security agents surrounded her outside her hotel room in Beijing, where she was attending the annual EU-China human rights dialogue.
