Chinese human rights lawyer Wang Quanzhang says he is drained after years in jail but ready to fight to reunite with his family in Beijing as authorities keep him confined in a distant province. | AFP
The quarantine ended six days ago, but Wang says he has not been allowed to leave Jinan to reunite with his wife and seven-year-old son in Beijing.
Wang, the last of the lawyers caught up in the crackdown to be released, was also deprived of political rights — including freedom of assembly and publication — for five years. Now stranded in Jinan, Wang is still slowly adjusting to life in confinement, and the only internet access he has is through his mobile phone, which was returned to him by authorities on Monday.“I feel a bit disjointed from outside life, I cannot walk a short distance without panting,” Wang said.
“It gave my wife and family lots of comfort and encouragement throughout these long and difficult years,” he said.
