Chinese human rights activists say police have harassed and intimidated
dissidents so they would not speak out during U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton's visit to Beijing.
The Chinese Human Rights
Defenders group said Saturday that a number of dissidents have been put
under house arrest, questioned and followed by Beijing police in an
effort to silence them during Clinton's visit.
The group said that among those under house arrest is Zeng Jinyan, the wife of imprisoned activist Hu Jia.
It
issued a statement after Clinton said the debate with China over human
rights should not get in the way of progress in other areas.
