The wife of former Interpol President Meng Hongwei said she’s asked French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss her husband’s disappearance on a trip to China last fall when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits France this week.
In an interview on France 24 television, Grace Meng said she wrote to Macron in advance of Xi’s visit, asking for help in protecting her family’s “fundamental human rights.” Her husband, who’d worked at the international law-enforcement agency’s headquarters in Lyon, was reported missing after departing France for China on Sept. 29.
