The wife of independent documentary producer Yang Weidong has confirmed that police have detained her husband and his assistant for "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" after Yang's naked protest outside a government building.
Du Xing told the South China Morning Post that Beijing police's Dongcheng sub-bureau had given her two detention notices yesterday, four days after the pair were taken away.
Du said Yang's assistant, $$$$ Zhuang, had taken a photograph as Yang stood naked outside the offices of the General Administration of Sport with a paper sign that read: "Vice-President Li Yuanchao is my elder brother". The protest took place at about dawn on Friday.
She said that Yang and $$$$ had posted the photo online, saying the "performance" was a protest against authorities' ban on Yang's 78-year-old mother Xie Yinxian from visiting Hong Kong.
Yang and his wife had planned to take Xie with them on a business trip to Hong Kong last Wednesday, but police told them she could not leave the mainland because "her leave might endanger national security".
"My husband was very angry, and decided to make a naked protest," Du said.
Xie was a medical doctor for national sports teams during the 1980s and 1990s. In previous interviews, Yang told the Post that his mother had resisted giving stimulants to athletes in the 1988 Olympics Games, and that this resulted in Yang's younger brother failing to get a licence after graduation from China's top medical institute at Peking University in 1993.
Yang, 49, a distant cousin of Vice-President Li, planned to visit Hong Kong to promote the fourth volume of his collection of controversial interviews, Signal. All his books are banned on the mainland. Many interviewees were dissidents telling inside stories about the Communist Party.
