Rights defender still missing

Canadian supporters of Dong Guangping, a missing Chinese human-rights defender, are disappointed with what they call a disingenuous response from Vietnamese officials. There has been no word of Dong’s fate since he was arrested Aug. 24 by Vietnamese police. The Vietnamese government said it had no information concerning Dong’s presence in Vietnam. Dong’s daughter Katherine, who lives in Toronto with her mother, said she feared her father had been handed over to Chinese authorities.
