China has formally arrested a dissident who traveled to Beijing to mourn the death of deposed leader Zhao Ziyang (???), more than a month after he was detained, his wife said yesterday.
Police authorities informed Zhang Lin's wife, Fang Caofang, early yesterday that he had been charged for "allegedly inciting the subversion of state power," she said.
Zhang has been detained since Jan. 29, when he and fellow dissident Wang Tingjin were picked up by police at the train station in his home city of Bengbu in Anhui Province on their return from Beijing.
