“National security” can always be an excuse by the Chinese authorities. Human rights lawyer Ding Jiaxi’s wife @luoshch just wants to send a letter to her husband in prison. How can any content of such be “endangering national security”? More attention needed! @SRjudgeslawyers x.com/luoshch/stat...

They should have never been detained. They only exercised their right to freedom of peaceful assembly. This case has again proved that the national security charges only limit citizens’ freedom and the authorities can arbitrarily abuse the draconian law to silence dissidents.

Shaoping Wu is a resident of Lancaster, PA. In 2020, he fled to the U.S. from China and applied for asylum due to persecution from his work as a human rights lawyer. On Wednesday, he was detained by ICE in Mount Holly Springs, despite his active asylum claim. He was turned in by local police.

Another case of ICE violating peoples' rights. I have to wonder if his history as a human rights attorney led to him being targeted. He is the type of person we should all stand with.
