朱承志获准见家人但禁见律师
因关注湖南“六四”民运人士李旺阳离奇自杀案，而被中共当局以“涉嫌煽动颠覆国家政权罪”逮捕，关押了7个月的湖南维权人士朱承志，改为监视居住后，1月16号首次在公安的监视下与妻子曾秋莲见面。
据大陆《维权网》报导，曾秋莲形容朱承志精神还好，但头发被捕至今没有修剪，已长及肩膀。
曾秋莲表示，办案的公安人员说，朱承志只要保证不再关注李旺阳之死，就可以恢复自由。但是，朱承志从来没有认罪。
受家属委托代表案件的北京维权律师刘晓原，曾在1月4号到邵阳看守所，要求与朱承志见面，但被当局拒绝。

Activist Zhu Chengzhi Allowed To Meet Wife But Not Lawyer

of democrat Li Wangyang’s death, was arrested
for 7 months for “inciting subversion of state power".
Later his charge was changed, and
Zhu was placed under house arrest.
On January 16, and under police surveillance, Zhu met his
wife Zeng Qiulian for the first time since he was arrested.
According to a China Human Rights Defenders
report, Zeng Qiulian said Zhu looks fine.
He hasn’t had his hair cut since being
arrested, so it reaches his shoulders.

the case, visited Shaoyang jail on January 4.
He requested to me Zhu, but was rejected by the authorities.
