BEIJING (Reuters) - China's foreign ministry denied on Monday that prominent human rights activist Cao Shunli died because she was refused medical treatment while in detention, in a case which has attracted concern in the United States and Europe.
Cao staged a two-month sit-in along with other activists outside the Foreign Ministry, beginning in June, to press for the public to contribute to a national human rights report.
