TAIPEI: A Chinese lawyer who represented a Hong Kong activist was stripped of his licence by China on Friday .
Beijing, which requires lawyers to swear an oath of loyalty to the ruling Communist Party, has tightened control over the profession. Other lawyers have been stripped of their licences for representing defendants in politically sensitive cases. Some have been imprisoned. On Wednesday, Ren and a small group of supporters showed up at the hearing for Lu's licence in Chengdu to back him. They were forcibly separated by police and Lu was taken inside alone, Ren said.
