BEIJING -- A Chinese reporting assistant for The New York Times was detained last week, but Chinese authorities have not explained the reason for the detention, the newspaper's foreign editor said Thursday.

Zhao Yan, who works in the Times' Beijing Bureau, was detained Sept. 17. A friend who spoke on condition of anonymity said it was believed that Zhao was under investigation as the possible source for a report by the newspaper about former President Jiang Zemin's plan to give up a key military post.

A rights group says Chinese authorities have detained an activist who exposed government abuses against farmers.
China Labor Watch says Zhao Yan was detained last week in Shanghai on unknown charges. His whereabouts are not known, and China has declined to comment on the group's claims.

China Labor Watch says Mr. Zhao is a magazine writer who wrote numerous accounts about government abuses against farmers.

A number of dissidents, activists and social critics have been detained in China in recent weeks as China's communist party prepared for a long-awaited meeting in Beijing, which concluded Sunday.
