Chinese police "took away" a well-known columnist last week before he tried to board a flight for Hong Kong and his whereabouts are still unknown, his lawyer said Monday.
Jia Jia, who writes a regular column for Tencent Online, went missing late last Tuesday, around the time he was scheduled to board a flight from Beijing to Hong Kong.
He had warned former colleagues of the danger of re-publishing an open letter calling for President Xi Jinping to resign.
