A Chinese dissident who criticized authorities has been detained on charges of allegedly possessing state secrets, his mother and a human rights organization said Tuesday.
Huang Qi, founder of the human rights Web site 64Tianwang, was detained in the southwestern city of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, his 74-year-old mother Pu Wenqing said.
“They didn’t say when he would be freed, first they have to do an investigation,” she said.
Pu said she is unable to talk to Huang, and was informed by the police of the arrest on Monday. Possession of state secrets is an ill-defined term often used to clamp down on dissent.
