Zhang Hai, a COVID-19 rights activist in Wuhan, China, has had his case sent back to police for further investigation, raising concerns that he may be in Incommunicado Detention and at risk of torture. Zhang was detained after reposting videos of protests in Wuhan and advocating for the rights of COVID-19 victims. He was formally arrested in April on charges of "picking quarrels and stirring up trouble." Authorities have refused to allow his family to hire their own lawyer, and Zhang's wife is reportedly considering divorce to protect their child.
