BEIJING - A human rights lawyer has been detained in China on suspicion of"inciting state subversion", according to an official notice obtained by his wife weeks after he spoke out for a hospitalised teacher.

Mr Xie was a vocal advocate for the 27-year-old pregnant teacher, who authorities have said was willingly admitted to the hospital.
