Activist may sue over rape allegations

League of Social Democrats dissident Edward Yum Liang-hsien, 31, appeared at the City Forum yesterday after he was arrested on suspicion of rape and indecent assault on Wednesday. Yum refused to comment on the allegation beyond the Chinese saying: 'Those who are innocent do not need to make defence.' He said he had faith in the legal system and may take legal action over the 'misleading information'.
