Associated Press: Long-jailed China Labor Activist Said to Kill Self

Excerpted from The Associated Press:

An ailing Chinese labor activist imprisoned for two decades died in a hospital Wednesday one year after being released from jail, and a relative raised doubt on the official explanation that he had hanged himself. [...]

During his first prison term, Li was held in solitary confinement at times and beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized, according to Human Rights in China.
