BEIJING (AP) - A prominent Chinese AIDS activist who disappeared after staging a hunger strike to protest violence against dissidents has returned home from what he claimed was a six-week ordeal in police custody, his wife said Wednesday.
Hu Jia was held at an unspecified location by police from his local Tongzhou Police Station in eastern Beijing and came back "weak and possibly suffering from kidney damage" as a result of not getting regular medicine to treat his hepatitis B, his wife Zeng Jinyan said.
Zeng did not give any details on why Hu was held but said no charges were filed against him.
