Dong Guangping, a Chinese human rights advocate who has repeatedly tried to flee China, has been detained by the Korean Coast Guard after he was found in a rubber boat off the country’s west coast, once again fleeing China as he seeks to reunite with his family in Canada.
A Chinese national was spotted on an inflatable boat about 70 kilometres off the west coast of South Korea late on May 25 after a fishing vessel crew alerted authorities, the coast guard said in a statement.
