China activist Cao Shunli 'disappears', says rights group

A well-known legal rights activist in China has seemingly disappeared after being questioned by Beijing airport police, a rights group says.

Cao Shunli has not been seen since 14 September, when she was barred from boarding a flight to Switzerland, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says.

Ms Cao had been planning to attend a UN human rights training course in Geneva.

A number of other activists had been stopped at the airport and denied permission to travel to Geneva, but Ms Cao was the only one whose whereabouts remain unknown, HRW said.
