Chinese dissident Dong Guangping has finally reached Canada, his long-sought destination, after an arduous 40-hour sea journey in a dinghy with a dying phone and subsequent detention in South Korea. His arrival late last week marks the culmination of more than a decade of perilous attempts to escape his native country.
Mr. Dong's flight stems from years of persecution in China, where he was repeatedly imprisoned for his activism, including commemorating the 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.
