Latest: Chinese human rights lawyer #YuWensheng has spent more than 1000 days in Chinese detention, and his wife @xuyan709 told me that his lawyer found out one of his tooth has fallen out while the others were loose when he visited Yu this week. williamyang-35700.medium.com/chinese-lawyer…
"On October 13, one of his defense lawyers, Lin Chihlei, visited him for two hours. According to his wife Xu Yan, the lawyer realized that Yu’s health conditions had further deteriorated since his last lawyer’s visit in August."
“Yu lost a tooth on the upper right side of his mouth while teeth on his left side began to get loose, making him unable to chew food properly,” Xu said. “He began to have difficulty eating and he applied for dental checkup several times.

(1/10) ICYMI: we marked yesterday, 2 yrs since Chinese lawyer #YuWensheng's disappearance in 2018, with a round-up of how the int'l community took steps to call for for accountability. But wait - there was more in 2019!

Follow/RT to join our call on China to #FreeYuWensheng.
(2/10) #YuWensheng received the Franco-German human rights prize - accepted by @xuyan709 - in January, and many govts called for China to release detained HRDs and lawyers at #HRC40 in March. This kind of visibility and pressure is key - and the more countries join, the better.
@xuyan709 (3/10) And remember the letter UN detention experts sent in 2018? Well, unsatisfied with the response, in 2019 they considered Yu Wensheng’s case and ruled it to be an ***arbitrary detention under international law***.
They asked again for his release, and the repeal of #RSDL.

@badiucao @hrw @hrichina @ICJ_org @LRWCanada Two years ago today, on 19 January, Lawyer #YuWensheng was taking his son to school when he was suddenly taken away by nearly a dozen law enforcement officers.
@badiucao @hrw @hrichina @ICJ_org @LRWCanada During years of work to advance human rights and democracy in China, Lawyer Yu had experienced various harassment, including the revocation of his legal license in early January 2018. #FreeYuWensheng
