UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon joined the United States, the European Union and human rights groups Wednesday in expressing concern at last week’s death of a detained Chinese human rights activist in a Beijing hospital.

Last month, Human Rights in China quoted Cao Shunli’s lawyer as saying she suffered from tuberculosis, liver disease and other conditions and was not receiving proper medical treatment. China’s Foreign Ministry has denied that she died because of lack of medical care.
