China's Government Arrests a Human Rights Attorney. Protest Mounts.
April 6, 2009
This story is a true horror. I signed the digital petition.
Christian human rights attorney Gao Zhisheng, disappeared February 4, and was last seen being taken away by a dozen police officers. Gao Zhisheng has been repeatedly kidnapped, arrested, imprisoned and tortured by Chinese authorities, because he has defended the persecuted and has been an unyielding voice for justice in the Chinese courts.Read Gao's account of 50 days of torture in 2007.
ChinaAid together with Mr. Gao's wife and children are deeply concerned about Mr. Gao, and reports from inside China indicate he is experiencing severe torture.
Your voice is vital to this international outcry.
