SCMP: Abortion father safe in Beijing, his lawyer says

SCMP says, “The husband of a woman who was forced to have a late-term abortion in the northwest province of Shaanxi appeared in Beijing yesterday, four days after disappearing amid allegations of harassment by officials in his hometown.”

Legal academic Yang Zhizhu “said that on Sunday that Deng Jiyuan had crossed a river to get away from his pursuer. He hid in a friend’s home for two days, then hired a car. When he reached another town, he took a 10-hour bus ride then a 20-hour train ride to Beijing.

“He said Deng planned to seek compensation for emotional stress, as well as for physical harm caused to his wife, who was forcibly given a lethal injection to kill the fetus and induce labour.”
