" Prominent human rights lawyer Zhang Kai was taken away by police from a church in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, in south-east China on 25 August. Two legal assistants of his, Liu Peng and Fang Xiangui, and several members of a local congregation, including pastors, were detained at the same time. Some have since been released, but Zhang Kai has been placed under ‘residential surveillance’, that allows the authorities to hold him for up to six months at a location outside of the formal detention system, without access to his lawyers or family."
