From RFA Unplugged blog:
Chinese rights activist Hu Jia, best known for his advocacy work on behalf of those living with HIV/AIDS, has been detained by national security police in Beijing on charges of “incitement to subvert state power,” a fellow activist said.
Hu was detained while in the middle of an exchange of instant messages via Skype with another rights activist, Qi Zhiyong, Qi told RFA’s Cantonese service (ZH).
“I was chatting on Skype with Hu Jia, and it was right in the middle of that conversation that he was detained. The charge was incitement to subvert state power,” Qi said.
“Hu’s wife Zeng Jinyan, and their child and his mother-in-law are now under surveillance.” [Full Text]
