'I am also worried that he could disappear at any time, so I hope he can come to the US as soon as possible to reunite with us.'
Jiang Tianyong -- who took on high-profile cases including those of Falun Gong practitioners and Tibetan protesters -- was one of more than 200 lawyers and activists detained in a 2015 clampdown on courtroom critics of Communist authorities.
The 47-year-old had disappeared Thursday after completing his two-year jail sentence, before he finally reappeared in his hometown of Xinyang, Henan province, said his US-based wife. Supporters had said police outside the jail he was released from told them he had been"taken away" but did not specify by whom.
"After not seeing each other for six years, we were finally able to talk and video chat," Jin Bianling said."He is living at his parents' home now, but there are police stationed outside. Wherever he goes, the police follow him," said Jin. "I am also worried that he could disappear at any time, so I hope he can come to the US as soon as possible to reunite with us."
