Zeng Jinyan, the wife of jailed Chinese dissident and AIDS activist Hu Jia, holds a photo of the couple during an interview in Beijing in this December 1, 2010 file photo. Hu was reunited with his family in the early hours of June 26, 2011, after serving three-and-a-half-years in jail on subversion charges, but he needed rest and was not ready to speak in public, said Zeng. Hu was convicted in 2008 for "inciting subversion of state power" for criticising human rights problems in China, and was seen by some supporters as a potential recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize before it went to another jailed Chinese dissident, Liu Xiaobo, last year.

: O% r0 k, t8 OBEIJING—Hu Jia, one of China's leading human rights activists, was set free Sunday after 3½ years in prison, but many wonder whether the activist will be truly free — or face house imprisonment, a controversial technique increasingly used by China to silence critics.
