Chu Ling: They were forced to confess to crimes they didn't commit, according to Hamilton Spectator. They were arrested because they spoke against government corruption," said Jiang wife, Chu Ling, from an undisclosed residence arranged by Canadian human rights advocates. "I'm worried for my husband safety," added Chu, choking back tears. "This is outrageous and scary. Meanwhile, their wives are safely here in the GTA, fearing the worst for their husbands, Jiang Ye-fei, a political cartoonist, and Dong Guang-ping, a rights activist. "No one knows where they are right now. How could Thai officials deport people with UN refugee status to a place they fled " Within days of being scooped up by Thai officials from their home in Bangkok in late October, Jiang and Dong and their families were granted protected persons status by the United Nations. However, despite their UN refugee designation, Jiang, 47, and Dong, 56, were whisked out of jail overnight and "repatriated" to China, where they face false "human trafficking" charges, their families say. On Nov. 11, Canadian diplomats, alerted by human rights advocates in Toronto, visited the two men in jail and arranged to have them resettled in Canada as government-sponsored refugees.
