A 13-year-old US boy, who is campaigning to turn the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea into a peace park, was released from Chinese detention on Monday along with his mother, after staging a brief protest near Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Jonathan Lee unfurled a sign saying "peace treaty" and "nuclear free DMZ children's peace forest" as he stood outside the Forbidden City earlier in the day. A man presumed to be a plainclothes officer grabbed Lee's sign less than a minute later, and waved away journalists who had been contacted by Lee's family ahead of time. Lee and his mother were escorted away by police, and held for a few hours.
