The wife of Meng Hongwei, the former Interpol president jailed in China for what she believes are political reasons, said on Monday that France has saved her life and the lives of their two young boys by granting her asylum request.
The French Government office that rules on asylum requests rendered its decision last week, granting her refugee status, Grace Meng’s legal team said.
The asylum office didn’t respond to Associated Press contacts by phone and email.
