China has deported a Swedish human rights activist detained earlier this month for allegedly posing a threat to national security, the government said Tuesday, according to AFP.
Peter Dahlin, of the Chinese Urgent Action Working Group, disappeared on January 4th as he prepared to board a flight to Thailand and appears to have been caught up in a crackdown on human rights lawyers.
Dahlin's group has said it offered training to lawyers who have tried to use the tightly controlled judiciary to redress apparent government abuses.
