Chinese asylum seeker who exposed rights abuses fights to stay in the US
Guan Heng, who exposed human rights abuses in his native China, has been in U.S. custody since being swept up in an immigration enforcementoperation in August. He says he dares not even think about what would happen to him if he were sent back. “I would be prosecuted, I would be jailed, I would be tortured. All of that could happen,” Guan, 38, told The Associated Press in a recent call from the Broome County Correctional Facility in New York.
