A former Chinese judge, Li Jianfeng, was roughed up by Lao Immigration Police when he tried to visit detained human rights lawyer Lu Siwei at an immigration detention center in Laos. Li was grabbed, manhandled, and had his cell phone snatched away. Lu, a prominent rights advocate, was arrested in Vientiane while en route to the United States to join his family. Li believes the Lao police were acting on instructions from China, and there are concerns that Lu could be sent back to China informally, where he may face torture or ill-treatment.
