Daughter of China activist says barred from taking prize
AFP – 3 hrs ago
The daughter of disabled activist Ni Yulan said Tuesday police grabbed her at the airport in Beijing and barred her from leaving China to collect a rights award for her mother in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands had asked China to explain why Ni's daughter Dong Xuan was not allowed to go to the Hague to accept the 100,000-euro ($131,000) Human Rights Defenders Tulip award, an embassy spokesman said.
"I tried to leave Beijing on Wednesday (January 25), but police grabbed me at the airport and said I could not go," Dong told AFP by phone.
"Ever since, there has been a policeman following me. He even tries to stop me from going out into the street to walk around. On Sunday, the police came and searched my house."
