Wu Arrested

Published July 7, 1995 at 11:00 PM CDT

NPR's John Greenberg reports that China today said it had formally arrested a Chinese-American human rights activist named Harry Wu. Wu has been charged with illegally obtaining state secrets and conducting criminal activities. If convicted, he could be executed. Wu has been held by the Chinese since June, when he tried to enter CHina from Kazakhstan.
