China summons diplomats from France and Germany in human rights row
The Chinese Foreign Ministry summoned top diplomats from France and Germany after both countries honored human rights activist Wang Qiaoling with a prestigious award, German embassy officials said on Friday.
The meeting followed the presentation of the French-German human rights award in Berlin on Thursday to Wang, whose husband Li Heping, a prominent lawyer, was detained by Chinese authorities in 2015.

The French and German foreign ministers have both called for the release of Li.
