A source revealed human rights activist Hu Jia, who disappeared on December 27, 2007, was arrested that afternoon. The Tongzhou Domestic Security Division of the Beijing Police Department arrested him for “suspected involvement in subversion.”
Hu Jia’s wife Ms. Zeng Jinyan, mother in law, and his one-month-old daughter are currently under police surveillance in their home in Taongzhou.
Chi Zhiyong, a democratic activist said, “At 3 p.m. yesterday (December 27), I was chatting with Hu online when suddenly, my message couldn’t get through. Hu’s family verified that the Tongzhou Domestic Security Division in Beijing arrested Hu from his home at that time. Hu’s whereabouts are still unknown.”
