Dozens of human rights groups have signed a joint petition calling on Laos authorities to release a prominent Chinese lawyer as its embassy in Britain warned he could be deported back to China.
Concerns for Lu Siwei have spiked after he went missing in Laos while traveling to the United States. Laos lies across China’s southwestern border and has long been a common, albeit risky, exit point for Chinese dissidents trying to leave the country.
CNN was unable to reach Laos authorities on Friday, but its embassy in Britain confirmed his arrest later that day to the UK-based lawyers group, The 29 Principles. The group posted video on YouTube of what they said was the moment Lu was picked up. It showed three men in uniform and a man who looks like Lu next to a white Toyota car on the side of the road.
