Chinese Christian human rights activist Huang Yan has been granted asylum by the Taiwanese government for a three-month stay, after she successfully escaped harassment from Chinese agents in Thailand.

Her freedom in Taiwan has made the Chinese regime nervous. Her husband Wu Guisheng was taken away by police in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, and was only released after more than 10 hours of interrogation, reported Radio Free Asia (RFA) on June 18.
