TOKYO, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- A Chinese man staging a three-month protest in Tokyo's Narita Airport says it's now likely he will be allowed to return home.
Feng Zhenghu has been jailed repeatedly in China for human rights activities. He has been camping out at the Tokyo airport's immigration area in a protest since November after repeatedly being refused re-entry by Chinese immigration last summer and autumn, The Times of London reported Monday.
The newspaper said Feng has attracted attention to his protest by posting blog and Twitter entries through his mobile phone and laptop computer, receiving up to 1,500 e-mail and 20 phone calls per day.
He told the newspaper that diplomats from the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo visited him for the third time on Saturday, and while they did not make any guarantees, Feng said he believes that he will not be refused entry into China again.
"It seems the Chinese authorities have decided to allow me to return home," he told The Times. "I always say is that, as a citizen of China, I have a right to go back home. I don't need ask for their permission to go back home."
