In a year of internal political wrangling and further emergence on the global

The administration undertook a clumsy effort to woo the foreign press corps while simultaneously tightening control over the flow of information and commentary within China.

New York, August 31, 2007—The Committee to Protect Journalists is deeply concerned by reports that imprisoned writer and activist Guo Qizhen has been mistreated in custody, may not be receiving adequate medical attention, and has been denied access to his family.
In an interview with CPJ, Guo’s wife, Zhao Changqing, said that she has been barred from visiting her husband since June 18, when she saw his body covered with bruises from beatings sustained while in custody. Guo is being held at Prison No. 4 in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei province.
