UN human rights chief Volker Türk said on Monday he is “deeply concerned” that China has sentenced two prominent human rights lawyers to more than a decade in prison. Xu Zhiyong and fellow activist Ding Jiaxi were sentenced to 14 and 12 years in prison respectively after closed-door trials. They were charged with undermining the rule of law, according to family members.
