The wife of imprisoned HIV/AIDS activist Hu Jia (胡佳), Zeng Jinyan (曾金燕), has fallen out of contact since leaving Shenzhen for Beijing on June 19.

According to an e-mail to a family friend, Zeng and Hu’s mother had been permitted to meet with Hu before his release. Hu was convicted of inciting subversion of state power in April 2008. He is expected to be released on Sunday, June 26, 2011.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2008-08/19/content_6948065.htm

According to a Public Security Bureau spokesperson, Beijing authorities have received 77 applications for protests. Of those, 74 were withdrawn voluntarily “after amicable settlements between the parties and authorities,” two were suspended, and one was denied due to violating the Law on Assembly, Demonstration, and Protest. Authorities have established three protest parks during the Olympics – Zizhuyuan Park, Ritan Park, and World Park. They have yet to host officially-sanctioned protesters.

Beijing-based rights defender Zeng Jinyan (曾金燕) and her daughter have still not been in contact with their family, friends, or lawyer since their disappearance on August 7 according to Zeng's lawyer, Li Fangping (李方平). Li suspects that she and her daughter have been removed from Beijing by the police until the end of the Olympic period. Zeng Jinyan is married to prominent HIV/AIDS activist Hu Jia (胡佳). Hu was convicted of “inciting subversion of state power” in April 2008; he is currently serving his sentence of three and a half years.
