The furniture in the room was wrapped in plastic, he believes to prevent any suicide attempts.

"The toothbrush they gave was very small, and connected to a nylon thread," he recalls.

"When you brush your teeth, a guard would hold the other end of the string, and once you finish you have to return the toothbrush. This is because they were afraid I would try to kill myself by swallowing the toothbrush."

"Someone must have done it before."

Ms. Zhao couldn’t be contacted. Her lawyer, Ren Quanniu, said neither he nor Ms. Zhao’s husband had been able to contact her since police announced her release. Mr. Ren said Ms. Zhao is likely still under police control and that the point of her release was to smear Mr. Li and the other lawyers.

“If she was really free, the first thing she’d do is contact her family and friends. Why hasn’t she?” Mr. Ren said.

Chairman of House Committee on Homeland Security Tells China: Leave Dance Event in Hong Kong Alone

By Larry Ong

Rep. McCaul wrote that the Hong Kong government’s actions “fit into a pattern of other instances where the Chinese Communist Party has pressured the Hong Kong Government to limit the freedom of speech and expression of its citizens, breaking the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ promise they made when Hong Kong transferred back to its authority.”

Presently, communist front groups are harassing the dance competition near the stadium.

NTD is likely being targeted by the Communist Party because it frequently reports on the regime’s human rights abuses.

The broadcaster shares the same corporate parent, Epoch Media Group, as this newspaper.

The journalist was later accused of soliciting prostitution, bribery and fraud, after his story made national headlines. He was investigated by the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and jailed.

The official who helped him, Gao Mingqing, was also charged and convicted of forging official seals and running scams and sentenced to nine years in jail.
