WORLD : 6 Rights Activists Leave China
Six people ordered out of China after attempting to attend the trials of pro-democracy demonstrators left the country today without incident.
The human rights activists who were told to leave China were detained for about five hours Monday and questioned about their activities in Beijing.
Norman Quan, a Chinese passport-holder living in Los Angeles, was told that he had violated the laws of China. Five other activists from Britain, Canada and the Netherlands were accused of engaging in activities incompatible with their status as tourists.
