China has formally arrested a lawyer who helped farmers in the southern province of Guangdong try to eject their village chief after a suspicious land deal, U.S.-based Radio Free Asia said.
Guo Feixiong was detained about three weeks ago following clashes between police and residents of Taishi village, in the district of Panyu. In an e-mail, the broadcaster quoted another lawyer as saying Guo was formally arrested…
Guo has been on hunger strike since his detention last month, but has been given emergency medical treatment and force-fed by detention centre staff, Radio Free Asia quoted unidentified local sources as saying.
