中国维权律师吴少平在美国宾夕法尼亚州被美国移民及海关执法局逮捕 [1]。吴少平于2019年底为躲避中国对维权律师的打压而逃往美国 [1]，持有旅游签证并于2020年申请庇护 [1]，目前其庇护申请仍在等待审结 [1]。
此次逮捕引发其可能被遣返至中国的担忧 [1]。吴少平的妻子李曹刘表示，其丈夫"希望中国人民享受自由和民主" [1]。人权倡导人士周锋锁指出，这一逮捕在流亡者中造成了"巨大的恐惧" [1]。
移民听证会定于7月27日进行 [1]。人权组织对此表示关切，并指出类似情况也涉及在泰国被拘的中国调查记者白朝东 [1]。
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested Wu Shaoping, a Chinese human rights lawyer who fled to the United States to escape persecution in his home country [1]. The arrest took place in Mount Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania [1].
Wu left China at the end of 2019 to avoid intensifying government targeting of rights lawyers [1]. He arrived in the United States on a tourist visa and filed for asylum in 2020, a decision that remains pending [1]. His wife, Li Caoliu, described his commitment to the cause, stating that he "hoped Chinese people could enjoy freedom and democracy" [1].
The immigration hearing is scheduled for July 27 [1]. Human rights advocates have expressed concern about the arrest, warning that it has generated "enormous fear" among exiled Chinese dissidents [1].
