BEIJING Mar 27, 2006 (AP)— Chinese police last month detained a documentary filmmaker who met with an outspoken lawyer and have refused to tell his family where he is being held or on what charges, his sister said.
Wu Hao, a filmmaker based in Beijing, has apparently been in police custody in the capital since Feb. 22, his sister, Wu Na, told The Associated Press. She demanded his release and that police explain why they are holding him.
Several human rights groups, including media watchdogs the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders, also called for Wu Hao's immediate release.
Wu Hao was working on a documentary about unregistered Christian churches in China before he went missing, CPJ said.
One week after Wu Hao disappeared, officials at the Beijing Public Security Bureau told Wu Na her brother was being investigated but could not be visited by a lawyer. They also warned her not to talk to the media.
