Liu said. &#8220;We will have to wait until after the May 1 public holiday for that.&#8221;<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>A volunteer for the New York-based Women&#8217;s Rights in China group, Su was initially detained last October, but her lawyers have been refused permission to meet with her twice.<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>Liu said the transfer of Su&#8217;s case files to the procuratorate means that he should no longer need to seek official approval before visiting his client in detention.<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>&#8220;This applies, even in cases involving matters of state security,&#8221; Liu said. &#8220;So the detention center won&#8217;t have any excuse; they&#8217;ll have to arrange it within 48 hours of the request.&#8221;<\/div><div><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div>Trial looks likely<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>He said a trial now looks likely.<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>&#8220;The fact that they have sent the case to the prosecutor means that the police think they have enough evidence to convict Su Changlan,&#8221; Liu said.<\/div><div><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div>Meanwhile, Su&#8217;s husband Chen Dequan said his freedom-of-information lawsuit protesting a lack of information on his wife&#8217;s health was rejected by the Nanhai District People&#8217;s Court this week.<\/div><div><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div>&#8220;They said that the information I requested didn&#8217;t lie in the public domain, so they wouldn&#8217;t make it public,&#8221; Chen said.<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>&#8220;They have taken my wife, and I don&#8217;t know whether she has been forced to make a confession.&#8221;<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>Chen said he is extremely concerned for Su&#8217;s health and safety after seeing the treatment meted out to fellow Guangdong political activist Li Biyun, who fell foul of the authorities after she tried to stand as<\/div><div>an independent candidate in elections to her district People&#8217;s Congress.<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>&#8220;There was already an incident here, when [Li Biyun] was in the detention center,&#8221; Chen said. &#8220;She was beaten up to the point where she couldn&#8217;t even walk.&#8221;<\/div><div><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div>He added: &#8220;I will be appealing.&#8221;<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>Chen said Su is innocent of the charges against her.<\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>&#8220;My wife would never try to incite people to overthrow the state,&#8221;
