China: Women rights activist and labour rights campaigner found missing, one reportedly detained under investigation for incitement to subvert state power
Women’s rights journalist Huang Xueqin and occupational disease rights advocate Wang Jianbing (nicknamed “Pancake”) were found to be missing at the same time on September 19th. Multiple sources confirmed that Guangzhou police are currently holding both Huang and Wang in police custody. Huang and Wang were suspected to be detained for the charge of “inciting subversion of state power”. The police have likely imposed “residential surveillance in a designated location (RSDL) “ on both of them. Sources revealed that the police likely based their suspicion of the two solely on the weekly gatherings in Wang Jianbing’s place. Both Huang and Wang have been missing for over a week as of today.
