I love how western based trolls, didnt even start to answer objections about source of finance for these "activists". Instead they keep patting each other on the shoulder for sharing "scandal" of authorities investigating some shadow organization on their home soil.
Beijing Rights Lawyer ‘Missing,’ Believed Detained: Lawyer

Prominent rights attorney Wang Yu is missing from her Beijing home, presumedly detained by China’s state security police, rights activists and lawyers said.
Wang, who has defended high profile activists, including jailed Uyghur dissident Ilham Tohti, Cao Shunli and Wu Gan, has been incommunicado since the early hours of Thursday morning, according to the Weiquanwang rights website.
The last communication from her was a social media post at around 3 a.m. which read: “I had just taken my husband and son to the airport … and when I got back home at 3 a.m. today the power was out, and the Wi-Fi was cut off,” the post said.
“I heard someone trying to force the door … but it was dark and I couldn’t see, but I could hear people muttering from time to time, but not clearly,” Wang wrote. “Now, calls to my husband and son’s cell phones are ringing unanswered. I really wonder what’s going on with them.”
Two hours later, Wang’s own phone was ringing unanswered, Weiquanwang said.
Repeated calls to her cell phone resulted in a message saying, “We are unable to connect calls to this number” throughout Thursday.
Fellow rights lawyer Cheng Hai said he had visited Wang’s apartment in Beijing on Thursday.
“I took a look in the morning because someone told me that people had forced the door in the early hours of the morning,” Cheng said. “The door hadn’t been forced, but Wang Yu herself was no longer there.”
Police were involved
Cheng also said the security guards at Wang’s apartment complex said the police were involved.
“[They said] that dozens of police surrounded the building where Wang Yu lives in the middle of the night, and detained one person, saying that it was a drug bust,” Cheng said.
An officer who answered the phone at the police office in Wang’s compound said nobody of that name was there.
“We just came on duty today, so we don’t know anything about this matter you mention,” the officer said. “At least I can tell you that there’s nobody by the name of Wang Yu here in this police station. If this person hasn’t come home for a certain period of time, then the relatives or family can come here and file a missing persons report.”
Wang’s apparent detention comes after a number of negative comments about her in China’s tightly controlled state media.
Beijing rights attorney Chen Jianggang told RFA on Thursday that Wang is “an outstanding example” of a human rights lawyer.
“Everyone knows that they have detained Wang Yu because she is an outstanding example of … a human rights lawyer in China,” Chen said.
“They are throwing the entire state power apparatus at a single lawyer.”

Human rights crisis not only happening in China but all over the world, we cannot miss any country regards to the human rights crisis even it is taking place in U.S who boasts that equality to all races and religion. Pointedly search about Myanmar in YouTube video channels.
I see a few of them have been released. Has the government said why they were taken at all if only to be released a few hours later?
Intimidation might be a motive if they grab them only to release them soon after.
I don't mean why (like what really happened). I mean what reason is the government giving for why they took them, only to release them shortly after?
The reason wouldn't matter to me, and I don't think many would believe what they say anyway. If they said it was a terrorism investigation, would it differ much from not saying anything at all? The intent of the detentions seems pretty evident.
That's pretty much the reason why I ask. I don't think there is a good reason, so what, they just don't give a reason? I guess that's smart on their part. Not giving a reason is better for them than giving one and people being upset with the answer.
It's pretty sickening to me.

Statement of Congressman Smith on the Reported Detentions of Human Rights Lawyers in China
Washington, Jul 10 | Jeff Sagnip ((202) 225-3765)
As many as 20 human rights lawyers were reportedly detained today in a countrywide sweep by China’s security forces, including prominent rights defense attorneys such as Wang Yu, Li Heping, Wang Fan, Bao Zhuoxuan, and others. Congressman Chris Smith, Chair of the Global Human Rights Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Chair of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China “condemned” the detentions saying they were part of an “increasingly muscular campaign to crush dissent [and] set an ugly tone for President Xi’s U.S. visit in September.”
Congressman Smith has met some of the lawyers detained and calls them “some of China’s brightest and bravest people…whose skills and energy should be embraced, not repressed.” Smith released the following statement:
“This looks like a coordinated, countrywide sweep of human rights lawyers and is another step in President Xi’s increasingly muscular campaign to crush dissent. I condemn the detentions in the strongest terms. The lawyers detained are some of China’s brightest and bravest people, people I admire, whose skills and energy should be embraced, instead of repressed. The detentions come only two weeks after the end of the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue and set an ugly tone for President Xi’s U.S. visit in September. We are facing a Chinese government that is more aggressive with its neighbors, more willing to plunder U.S. personal information in cyberspace, and quicker to suppress alternative voices within China than its predecessors. It’s past time for a new U.S. strategic approach to China. President Xi wants a ‘new type’ of U.S.-China relationship, but that won’t happen if the price is acquiescence to repression.”

I wonder, when Chinese start to lecture United States on how to treat Guantanamo prisoners or Occupy Wallstreet protesters.
Onto the point, recent wave of "springs" that destabilized much eastern Europe and Arab world had roots within activist groups being financed by the west. I dont blame Chinese (or Russians or Iranians) for taking pre-emptive steps. If those "brightest" and "bravest" (in the words of Chris Smith) are on foreign payroll, then prison is the least they should be afraid of.

Since I was looking into the conspiracy theories related to the September 2015 thread...
The theory is that there are multiple FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) camps being set up all over the nation. Many conspiracy theorists believe at some point, the president will claim martial law, and many people will be taken to these camps, forced to go, and supposedly they'll die, if they can't be brainwashed into accepting the NWO. You can search "American holocaust" for more info.
Only because it was on my mind recently, did I think of a connection. If you wanted to do the same thing in China, you might want to take out those who would fight for those detained, first. I think the human rights workers are the ones who would fit that bill. I wonder if there are any conspiracy theories for camps being set up in China too?
Either way, this is horrible news. I'm very interested to see what happens with this.
