> She read a statement during her press conference in Lyon, but would not allow reporters to show her face, saying she feared for her own safety and the safety of her two children.

While this is tragic and I feel for her (despite not being able to comprehend what she is going through), I cannot help but think that's a bit pointless. Wouldn't a state like China who can presumably make an Interpol leader disappear have access to a photo of her face?

What's the threat she's hiding from?

There is a large fear of 'mob' justice in China. Helpful patriots that will dox your family and harass them or worse. It is such a great society.

Of course the US is getting that way with politics, including a mass shooting so I guess I can't talk much.
