Kyrie eleison! Kyrie eleison! Kyrie eleison!

China aid, December 1, 2014. "Beijing police placed Ni Yulan, a human rights lawyer who has been wrongly imprisoned by Beijing police multiple times, and her husband, Dong Jiqin, under house arrest during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings, which were held in the country’s capital from Nov. 5-11. During that time, on Nov. 10, police entered the couple’s residence and began beating Dong, who was later hospitalized for his injuries."

"Dong suffered multiples bruises to his chest as well as a broken rib when three plainclothes officers entered the couple’s rent home without provocation. --- During her (Ni) detention in 2008, authorities denied her medical treatment for injuries she sustained during beatings she received. As a result, she lost the ability to walk without crutches and is, at times, confined to a wheelchair.

Ni was also awarded the Human Rights Tulip, an annual prize given by the Dutch ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2011. The award was given in absentia due to Ni’s imprisonment and the Chinese authorities’ refusal to allow Ni’s daughter to leave China in order to accept the award for her mother."
