Two Agence France Presse reporters were turned away by security guards when they attempted to visit the home of Zeng Jinyan, the wife of imprisoned rights activist Hu Jia.

A print reporter and a television camerman tried to enter the compound at Bobo Freedom Village in Tongxian, east Beijing, but only got 10 meters inside the front gate.
