BRIEFLY

China's most widely known longtime political prisoner, Wei Jingsheng, is being held at a labor-reform salt farm near the Bo Hai Gulf, a U.S. human rights organization reported Monday. Convicted in 1979 of "counterrevolutionary" activity and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment, Wei disappeared for more than a decade into China's secretive prison system.
