|Lyon, France (CNN)The wife of Interpol’s former chief has said she fears for her life and that of her twin boys after her husband was detained by Chinese officials, in the latest case of a forced disappearance in Beijing.
In an exclusive one-on-one interview with CNN in Lyon, France, Grace Meng said she had received a threatening phone call from a stranger after her husband vanished. She said the stranger told her “two teams” were coming to target her.
Grace Meng was moved to tears as she spoke of her sons, both 7 years old, saying that she had not told them what happened to their father, Meng Hongwei, and that she had kept them away from the television to shield them from the news.
