A Chinese human rights lawyer charged with state subversion over two years ago will make a court appearance the day after Christmas, his wife said Monday.
Li Wenzu, who last week shaved her head in protest of her husband's indefinite detention, posted on Twitter that Wang Quanzhang would be going to trial in two days in the northern city of Tianjin.
"On December 24, 2018, Christmas Eve, I found out: the trial starts the day after Christmas," Li wrote.
"December 26 is an especially meaningful date. The court session starts at 8:30am (1230 GMT) so Beijing-based me will have to leave bright and early."
