Great Regulars: Yao Lifa, a Chinese constitutional scholar

and activist in central Hubei province, has suffered multiple injuries after almost a month of secret detention, his wife said following his return home late Sunday.

Yao, 53, who inspired a national movement to field independent candidates in this year's government controlled People's Congress elections, had injuries on his wrists and back, Feng Ling said.

"What's more, they only gave him one-third rations during his detention," she said.
