China rights lawyer returns home

China has released a crusading rights lawyer who was detained more than two months ago in a massive security crackdown aimed at preventing any Middle East-inspired unrest.

Teng Biao returned home on yesterday afternoon but it was not convenient for him to speak with the media, according to his wife Ms Wang Ling. She declined to comment on his physical or mental well-being.

Other lawyers and activists released after being similarly detained have also declined to speak to the media, perhaps as a condition of their release.
