Human rights lawyer Xie Yanyi went missing in July 2015 as part of the 709 crackdown; it was not until January 2016 that his family finally received official notice of his arrest. Not only were his family members denied the right to hire a lawyer; they were also followed and surveilled 24 hours a day, and were frequently abused and threatened. Furthermore, Xie’s wife Yuan Shanshan was twice taken away to the police station: on one such occasion, she was detained without legal procedure for three days while she was pregnant; for one day during her detention she was denied water, food, and access to the toilet.
谢燕益妻儿的人权状况!真过份!

谢燕益中国职业15年的律师,2015年7月12日失踪,2016年1月11日我才收到逮捕通知书,家属聘请的律师被解聘,也剥夺了宪法所赋予我家的一切权力,权力机关为谢燕益指定官派律师!
我在家除了带3个孩子还尽量为谢燕益发声,我的境遇是:
男有刀客杨佳,女有魔刀原珊珊也会有道理了。
这是一个以恶治恶不要脸的流氓社会。
