Bei Zhenying had no interest in politics — until the police barged into her home, arrested her husband and accused him of secretly plotting to overthrow the Chinese government. She was left to try and uncover his hidden life.

Arbitrary banning of PRC students with valid US visas, in the middle of their graduate programs--not large nos, but with devastating impact for the scholars and US reputation. Apparently one CPB agent at Dulles has the authority to ban students for 5 years

【#卢思位 被遣返中国 遭关押四川看守所】
中国人权律师卢思位今年七月遭老挝警方逮捕，日前已经被遣返回中国。台北时间4日卢思位的妻子张春晓向本台证实，卢思位目前人被送往四川新都看守所。张春晓表示，卢思位在中国的家属接获看守所通知，让人送衣服、药品以及金钱过去，卢思位患有严重的皮肤病，已经缺药超过两个月。在通话过程中，所方人员完全未告知家属，卢思位何时遣返回中国，又是以何种罪名遭拘留。而家人是否能探视，能否聘用律师？仍是未知数。报道：reurl.cc/gaDOlR

China has placed more and more restrictions on the lives of its citizens — tightening its hold over what people can do, read and say.
Today’s episode of The Daily tells the story of one couple torn apart by the crackdown.
