Lawyers for the family of a businessman who died while in Communist Party custody were kicked out of court yesterday during the trial of the interrogators accused in his death, one of the lawyers said.
The court in the eastern Chinese city of Quzhou told the two lawyers to leave at midday and didn’t let them in for the afternoon session, family lawyer Pu Zhiqiang said by telephone. He and the other lawyer, Wu Pengbin, had challenged the court because it didn’t let them question the defendants, Pu said.
