China's Rights Activists Face Torture, Detention, 'Disappearance': Report
China's human rights activists continue to speak out on behalf of
victims of the ruling Chinese Communist Party's abuses of power, despite
the threat of arbitrary detention, torture, and forced 'disappearance,'
an overseas rights group said on Thursday.
"Types of retaliation included the use of torture, enforced disappearance, and arbitrary detention," the report said, adding that the government had also threatened activists who tried to cooperate with United Nations human rights experts.
Anyone who tried to speak out for marginalized and persecuted communities, report violations, or complain about the perpetrators of rights violations "bore the brunt of government retaliation" last year, the report said.
