Sina Weibo Censors Searches About Five Women's Rights Activists

On April 14, 2015, the China Women’s Net website (operated by the China Women’s News under the sponsorship of the All China Women’s Federation) published an article entitled “China Police Release Five Women’s Rights Activists” (中国警方释放5位女权行动派). According to the article: The five women's rights activists were detained in March 2015, with the reason for their detention being to stop obstructing public thoroughfares. There was a strong reaction from the international community, with many expressions of support and opposition to their detentions. Lawyer Liang Xiaojun said that Wei Tingting, Wang Man, and Zheng Churan had already been released by police, but the status of another two remained unclear. 这五位女权行动派2015年3月被羁押,羁押原因为反公共交通性骚扰。国际社会对此反响强烈,各方纷纷支援,抗议拘留。梁小军律师说,韦婷婷、王曼和郑楚然已被警察释放,但其余二人的情况尚未明确。 These screenshots show that the article was subsequently deleted.
