Hu Hao family puts it as a joke. Human rights activitist Chen Guan-cheng's lawyer team was being accused of stealing from local (Shandong) gangsters group and got arrested by police. And it happened just one night before (on August 17) Chen's trial (zh).
Zhen Jin-yan puts up a statement to condem such move (zh). Two of the lawyer team were release late at night, one of them still being detained at the police station.
