Human rights groups are calling on world leaders to raise the issue of human rights in China during the Apec summit.

Amnesty international says that 76 people have been detained in China in the past few weeks for supporting pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

BBC reporter Martin Patience tried to visit the home of one activist, Hu Jia, in Beijing but was turned away.
