UN envoy probes torture in China – Louisa Lim

From the BBC:

The UN rapporteur on torture, Manfred Nowak, has arrived in China for a fact-finding mission to examine allegations of official maltreatment.

It is the first time a UN rapporteur on torture will be allowed to visit China’s prisons and detention centres. It has taken years of negotiations for Beijing to agree to the trip.
