<\/div>
Chinese authorities have detained a number of activists across the country in recent days for online comments and activities linked to the 26th anniversary of the June 4, 1989 crackdown on the student-led democracy movement.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Authorities in the northern port city of Tianjin detained rights activist Wang Jian on Wednesday after he made comments related to the anniversary online.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“They detained him at around 8 p.m. on June 3 without any formalities,” Wang’s friend Wang Liang told RFA on Friday. “The family is now waiting for a special delivery letter detailing the reasons for his detention.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
He said Wang’s wife had been told by police at the local police station on Friday that her husband had already been formally arrested.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“I think [they could do this quickly] because his status was out on bail,” Wang Liang added.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Wang Liang said Wang Jian had written a post commemorating the June 4 massacre “some time ago.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“I know he wrote a post a while back, but I don’t know if it was published,” he said. “But he did write on that topic.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Wang was initially detained on suspicion of “picking quarrels and stirring up trouble,” then released on bail on March 13 after he showed support of Suzhou evictee Fan Mugen.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
He was later redetained for continuing his activism in support of Fan, and held for a 10-day administrative sentence.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Wang Jian’s wife, Lu Xiaoqing, said she still hasn’t received the letter, however.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“They said he had been formally arrested on June 3,” Lu said. “I asked them the reason, and they didn’t tell me. They just said … it had already gone to the prosecution.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
‘Disturbing public order’<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
In the southwestern region of Guangxi, veteran Lu Hengxian was jailed by Nanning police on a 10-day administrative sentence after he began a hunger strike with dozens of other dissidents to mark Thursday’s anniversary of the June 4, 1989 bloodshed.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Lu’s wife, who gave only her surname Liang, said he was held on suspicion of “making trouble, and disturbing public order.”<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Lu had planned to lead more than a dozen fellow activists in a 24-hour symbolic hunger strike to remember those who died when the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) used machine guns and tanks to put an end to weeks of student-led mass protests and hunger strikes on Tiananmen Square.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“He was placed under administrative detention today,” Liang said on Friday. “They came round and searched our home yesterday, at around 8:40 p.m.”<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“Four people came, and they took away a computer and a video camera,” she said.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
And in the central city of Wuhan, 1989 democracy movement veteran Zhang Yi was taken away by police after he arranged to meet with friends for a meal to mark the anniversary.<\/div>
