Nevada Governor Seeks Trump Meeting on Plutonium, Nuke Dump

Nevada's governor is asking for a face-to-face meeting with President Donald Trump to protest federal shipments of weapons-grade plutonium to the state and argue against plans for a national nuclear waste repository.

Gov. Steve Sisolak points in a Wednesday letter to a White House comment this week about being open to discussions.

The Democrat boycotted National Governors Association functions in Washington recently to protest the secret shipment of plutonium from South Carolina to Nevada over the objections of previous Gov. Brian Sandoval.

A White House spokesman said in an email to The Associated Press Thursday that Sisolak has turned down three previous invitations to the White House but declined comment on his new request.

Sisolak's protests came after the Energy Department disclosed Jan. 30 it secretly trucked the highly radioactive material to the former Nevada Test Site last year.

Jailed Chinese rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong disappeared after scheduled release, say activists

A prominent Chinese human rights lawyer went missing after he was scheduled to be released from jail Thursday following a two-year prison sentence for state subversion charges, said rights activists.

Jiang Tianyong — who had taken on many high-profile cases including those of Falun Gong practitioners and Tibetan protesters — was one of more than 200 lawyers and activists detained since 2015 in a sweep aimed at courtroom critics of Communist authorities.

The disappearance of Jiang, who was charged with “inciting subversion” in 2017, comes as China continues to clamp down on human rights activists and lawyers in the country.

Last month, Wang Quanzhang, another well-known Chinese lawyer swept up in the 709 crackdown, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for “subverting state power”.

Meanwhile, other rights lawyers who have been released after serving their prison sentences — like Jiang — have continued to face restrictions, said Doriane Lau, China researcher at Amnesty International.
