Chinese state security police have reportedly harassed the family of a Student Activist in Washington, DC, demanding that he be brought "in line" for his pro-democracy activism on American soil. Zhang Jinrui, a law student at Georgetown University, revealed that his father was interrogated about Zhang's activities in the US and level of patriotism. This incident highlights concerns over the "long-arm" law enforcement tactics employed by Beijing to target overseas activists and students, who had expected greater freedom while living or studying in democratic countries. The harassment has had a chilling effect on speech and self-censorship among Chinese students.
