Lu Siwei is currently being held at a detention facility in Sichuan.
WASHINGTON: The US denounced today the deportation of a prominent human rights lawyer from Laos to his native China, calling for details on his whereabouts and assurances on the ailing activist’s access to medical care.
But after being arrested by Laotian police while en route to Thailand in July, Lu was transported back to China last month, where he is likely to face legal repercussions, a rights group said. “The US condemns the forced repatriation of People’s Republic of China national and human rights lawyer Lu Siwei to the PRC from Laos, at the request of PRC authorities,” US state department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement, using China’s official name.
Lu and one other human rights lawyer – Ren Quanniu, who also sought to represent members of the “Hong Kong 12” that attempted to escape to Taiwan – had their legal licences revoked in 2021 by authorities.
