One who tell the truth must insist to pay the price

Gao Zhisheng, a fearless Chinese lawyer and activist, had the first time in February 2009 disappeared. The Chinese secret police and spirited him away for months, nobody knew anything about his whereabouts, at least his wife and two children.
Seven Months later, a police officer informed his brother that Gao had lost its way and misses on 25 September 2009.
The authorities had suggested cynically that they have no role in his disappearance played and knew nothing about it.
But last January, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said Reporters that Gao has been under Chinese law, where it should be, probably in secret detention, although no formal charges were ever levied against him.
Gao and his family had for years under police surveillance for several, especially when the lawyer began to represent the members Falun Gong, a spiritual movement with millions of followers, who are brutal, the regime since 1999, pursues it.
Gao's wife Geng He, flee the country together with their two children succeeded briefly disappeared before her husband, in January 2009.
The police were harassing the family, and after the attempted suicide of her 15-year-old , By, was prevented from attending school Geng He could not bear even more subsidiaries in China, we were forced to flee China because of the party of oppression and violence by the Chinese Communists. I could not leave it on. I had the children escape from China to the safety of me, she told the Telegraph.
The family now lives in the United States, fled to Thailand with.
Then, on 28 March 2010 informed Gao's friends that he currently lives on Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province, a Buddhist retreat.
But he really was a free man?
Where is he? Under what circumstances is he? Is he in jail? Is he in jail? If he is under some form of house arrest? It is a relief to learn that Gao Zhisheng, alive and be healthy enough to talk on the phone seems. But the mystery of Gao Zhisheng remains. The Chinese government has yet to produce it, Phelim Kine of Human Rights Watch told TIME.
It was authorized, AP returned to Beijing, where he gave an interview.
The previously combative Life seemed to long for Gao, after a more peaceful, I do not have the ability to persevere, "he said. If you know the most important to provide a basis for the choice is up to the benefit of family feelings. I hope I can unite with them again. My children need me at her side is growing … Everyone will be disappointed. Some people were really involved is concerned, so supported, that appeals. So when they read my words, they feel definitely disappointed. For it, I apologize. I am very sorry, "he added.
Was his great renunciation?
Was he really give up the fight against the thuggish regime in Beijing?
The authorities were apparently not convinced, for Mr. Gao has disappeared again …
He was on the 20th of the capital April return after a week long visit to his Father-in-law in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang province in western China. He did board the plane, but never returned to his apartment in Beijing.
Now understand we see that the freedom of A was ordered by the authorities to show for. He is again missing, he is still under their control. We must continue to take care friend, his case, Jiang Tianyong, a lawyer and told the NYT.
Gao Zhisheng, 44, was not always a prominent lawyer.
Born in modest Conditions in the province of Shanxi, he was once a miner and a soldier of the PLA Army.
It was not until 1991, after Deng had taken Xiaping to development and modernization of China's legal system, that he began his study of law, passing the bar exam in 1995.
The Administrative Procedure Law, 1989; set, allows compensation for the first time Chinese citizens sue government agencies in order to get to.
Gao specializes in such cases, often politically sensitive, pitting citizens against powerful and opaque state bodies, and entrenched interests.
He was of expropriated land owners, striking workers and victims in malpractice suits, for example.
By 2000, he founded his own firm Beijing in Shengzhi Law Office, and the following Year was marked by China's Ministry of Justice, one of the ten best lawyers in the country.
But his work on behalf of persecuted religious minorities, particularly the Falun Gong movement, that regime tightened its conflict with, and explained to him about his true Nature.
Falun Gong (cultivation of the Wheel of Law), a spiritual movement founded by Li Hongzhi in 1992 which will, for the spiritual elevation and promotes the cultivation of virtue.
Although similar to other traditional Chinese qigong movements (meditation through breathing and body exercises to harmony to promote physical and mental balance and) she stresses self by leading a virtuous and ethical conduct, to promote the values of Truthfulness, Compassion and forbearance.
By 1998, seventy million Chinese were some advocates of Falun Gong.
Clearly alarmed by the movement's popularity (although it had no leadership, Li moved to New York in 1998, and no agenda of any kind, least political of all), the regime began banned their publications.
What sealed the fate of movement was what followed: remarkably, more than 10,000 demonstrators gathered peacefully in Zhongnanhai, the compound housing the Chinese leadership, which in April 1999 to demand an end to the campaign against their movement.
Having discussed their grievances with representatives of the government, they all quietly apart.
Ten years after the Tiananmen, however, the regime was not the creation of an independent organization tolerate a potentially mass appeal and that could easily fill the streets with protesters. It launched a brutal campaign against what it as a dangerous cult evil. He also accused the movement of being a evil power that science is anti-anti-human, anti-social and anarchic, and a smooth production group that tries to the Government of the challenge [Communist] party and the.
This violent, hysterical reaction of the regime showed deep sense of insecurity and his fear that such a move could benefit the social instability that China's rapid economic growth had spawned and take uneven. Convinced that Falun Gong was part of a foreign conspiracy to destabilize the regime, the authorities arrested thousands and send them to reeducation camps to force them to move and reject their beliefs. Many others were sent to psychiatric hospitals, beds, people with different types of unknown drugs drugs Hospital, tied with ropes to. . . subjected to electro-convulsive therapy or painful forms of electrical acupuncture treatment, denied adequate Food and water. . . forced confession statements waiving their belief in Falun Gong as a precondition for their eventual release and then review required to pay penalties. . . for care and treatment in the hospital, Robin Munro, a Senior Research Fellow, wrote to the Legal Department and Center of Chinese Studies at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies, in 2000.
More than 50,000 were imprisoned and tortured in various prisons.
This ruthless campaign was clearly a violation of the Convention against Torture and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, both China signed.
Gao Zhisheng was one of those rare lawyers in China to defend the persecuted Falun Gong members ventured, Christians, and U-pastors.
The regime reacted quickly: it revoked his office closed, its license and placed him under surveillance around the clock.
But in researching his cases, he discovered the treatment on the peaceful practitioners added that he interviewed, and he was horrified.
Interviewing these victims led him to recognize the true nature of the regime, about a dozen days in close contact with Falun Gong believers was a shocking experience to my soul, he wrote in December 2005.
At the 18th October 2005, he wrote an open letter to Hu Jintao, President of China and Wen Jiabao, the Prime Minister to pursue more believers in freedom and you improve your relations with the Chinese people, he urged them.
Gao Zhisheng was fully aware of the risks he took, I will not but one of the real problems that I saw, even if this means I can immediately arrested when this letter is known, wrote he.
The truth must be said, he stressed.
The persecution of Falun Gong was orchestrated by the 610 Office, a powerful special Department in the security apparatus. Only for the eradication of Falun Gong is transition states can be its preferred tactic in Indeed, forcing practitioners for practitioners involved in the "transformation" of their fellow man is part of the regular routine. Transformation was finally achieved when the therapist replaces truth compassion and tolerance with lies, brutality and selfishness, if the therapist is himself involved in the prosecution, according to the Epoch Times.
The Office has a different tactic. In his open letter, Gao relates the ordeal of several Falun Gong members tortured by the minions of the office 610th
Here's an excerpt: In July 2002, Shuxiang from Changchu, so says the lawyer,
I was in my father's house. A policeman in civilian clothes suddenly broke into the house and asked if I was Shuxiang So, before I replied that I was kidnapped. The next day, police from the first section of the Changchun Public Security Bureau put me in a car and drove me on a bumpy road for about two Hours. Two policemen took me into a dark and horrible basement, and took off the blindfold. Eight or nine policemen all rushed into the room. On a table there were three electric Batons of large, medium and small sizes and a bundle of rope and on the other side were three tiger Benches. Two policemen forced me on a tiger bench and put my hands on the armrests, which had a handcuff attached respectively. My Hands were locked in place with the handcuffs. The armrests on the tiger bench had triggered a series of holes of different sizes for different sizes of wrist. The police sent an iron rod as thick as the thumb on the two fixed armrests, pressing against my chest and stomach area and make it impossible to move for me. A policeman pointed to the torture and said to me: "Do you see that? If you work together, we can finish business in more than one hour. Otherwise, we will taste all kinds of instruments. What happened to Liu Zhe and others [practitioners] have been killed? Only a few can come out of here alive …
The other witnesses are just as shocking and despicable …
Hundreds if not thousands have died as a result of abuse.
The regime tactics and methods reveal their basic moral Bankruptcy.
Power and the preservation of power is the only rule, does not justify any assumption means in order to ultimately achieve the goal.
Truth, justice and even morality were outlawed.
In China, the whole nation to follow people is tempered by a small group of hooligans, to separate, and one group after another, he wrote in a letter to the United States Congress in September 2007.
Nevertheless, the impact of such methods are corrosive; and led to the downfall of morality. In addition, the regime is no more the respect of his people, their loyalty only extorted by intimidation and violence.
The people claim that the regime is legitimate and its rule of enlightened and benign, as revealed his true nature, and place it is publicly dangerous.
The people accept this fundamental lie, because the consequences of refusal to do so.
Shall be suspended, the regime and thrives on this apathy and fear, that complicit indifference.
What can we do?
The regeneration of China depends on what Gao calls a moral awakening.
Change China is so simple, that is, it can be done by a moral awakening in everyone. Many can be made in this context, he wrote, both in China and in the West.
Ironically, he believes that regime, by a similar approach to Falun Gong, the evil sect denounced by the one on the basis of ethics, truth and benevolence, that China can take place moral regeneration of the. In contrast to the current situation, in humanity, conscience, morality, compassion and responsibility in our society suffers from a deterioration in overall strategy, these cultivators, reborn as a group from the old nation, all these areas in a positive way affected. You can feel the powerful way to change the faith of the soul can. Yes, it has allowed me to be a glimmer of hope for the salvation of our nation from its current dilapidated state, he wrote.
When she discovered that China the path to follow, a possible antidote against sixty years of cruelty and nihilism, was Gao Zhisheng, still speaks strongly to …
But yet, I choose me in a way that has almost destroyed the whole of my family led to express … I choose to, despite the danger I to myself can bring, because I think it's my duty as a person and as a Chinese, he wrote.
The regime must be denounced and exposed the true nature of the public. Gao has been this approach, and a very brave: the facts to reveal the truth, come what may.
The Communist Party of China is a criminal Group, which runs from under the protection of state powers. It is essential to the achievement of its criminal character choices, so we aim can come to the conclusions and take the right one, he added.
Our leaders can follow the same course at much less personal cost …
The regime will respond immediately and hard, because it can not admit the truth to be spread open. Fear is their last asset.
If there are no consequences for those who leaned over to tell the truth, then the regime would collapse quickly.
In 2005, Gao left the Chinese Communist Party From now on, Gao Zhisheng, a party member, the membership is not for a long time and was paid to the "party activities" absent for many years, explains that he ended the cruel, untrustworthy, inhumane and evil party.
This is the proudest day of my life, he wrote …
Gao never feared a confrontation with the regime, they threaten to arrest me and I say "green light". I am a warrior, no matter whether I live or die. Such a sacrifice is nothing to me, if it hastens death dictatorship, he had previously said that the Guardian. …
When he's not afraid of the regime, the latter is clearly afraid of him.
If they have not yet killed (as far as we know) have They did not spared.
Arrested in 2006 he was charged with subversion and as a three-year suspended sentence.
In September 2007, he was by the secret police abducted, allegedly following a re-education sessions.
Once in a police locale, a bat, screamed Gao Zhisheng! You Mother
f ******! Your day of death is today! Brothers! Let's show the bastard, how brutal we can get. Kill the bastard. A leader (I assumed) the group shouted. Then, four men started with electric batons, wildness lost my head and body, he wrote later in a dark night, dark Hood and kidnapping by the mafia Dark (My account of more than 50 days of torture in 2007).
He was subjected to electric shock prods all over his body …
Did not you … accused the Communist Party of horrendous torture? Well, today I want you to experience all of them. Yes, you did not say that we are not Falun Gong followers torture correctly. That's right, we do. The 12 courses that we serve have been perfected on the Falun Gong followers are. To tell you the truth, I am no longer afraid of you writing about it. There is zero possibility that you leave this place alive. We can torture you to death and make sure nobody can find your body. Every time I think of you, it makes me mad steam. Who do you think you are, on the club …
It took fifty days but he survived …
Before his release, he was forced to a document stating that he was not tortured during his detention notification, threatened with retaliation should he tell the conditions of his detention. I will ensure that you are dead if you say that's what the outside world in here, he was warned …
And yet that is exactly what he did …
The document was on 9 February 2009 on the market …
In addition, Gao Zhisheng is not the only activist to present the regime victims.
In fact, all these brazen enough to be pursued to seek justice.
An activist investigate whether shoddy construction work to the death of scores of students have resulted in their classrooms, during the 2008 earthquake, was convicted and imprisoned. An editor, Tan Zuoren, was sentenced on subversion charges for his writings on the 1989 Tiananmen massacre.
Liu Xiaobo, one of the leaders of the democracy movement Charter 08 was to a prison term of eleven years in prison on Christmas Day last year for inciting subversion of state power.
Last July, the Office of the Gongmeng, the Open Constitution Initiative, a legal research organization, which was held on sensitive cases a pro bono basis, it was closed by the authorities.
In May 2009, the licenses were of 53 lawyers were not renewed Beijing …
Certainly saw it from the outside, the case referred to the severe penalties handed down for constitutional matters should be with that property rights, it is difficult get away from that and not see a hardening line, Joshua Rosenzweig of the Dui Hua Foundation, a human rights organization, said TIME.
Conventional wisdom is that China is an important economic and strategic partner and that we can not afford is to avoid, or alienated its leaders.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy recently went to China on a state visit, and the question of human rights was not on his agenda.
It is meaningless aggressive or reproachfully with China. It is completely counterproductive, he said, "Le Figaro".
Launching Charges against the other is counterproductive, he said in a speech during the State Dinner on 28 April.
If this is the case, then how we go to help and protect activists such as Gao Zhisheng?
Democracies are under moral obligation to activists who defend the values of peace, Justice and democracy confess that we are and are proud to help represent?
In terms of our China policy, it seems that we do not …
Although It is true that our relations with China include far more than just the issue of human rights, we doing enough to help Gao of China?
In a recent editorial, French Daily Le Monde argues that the Chinese leadership understands only and nations to vigorously defend this respect that their own interests and perspectives, come what may (the Chinese approach, presumably) and not cave in to foreign pressure …
Let us then vigorously defend the values that Gao Zhisheng Sun seriously and that we now take for granted more, and openly advised the Chinese that we are strongly interested in the fate of MM. Gao, Liu and others that we consider them responsible for their welfare, that we shall not be blackmailed let loose, and that harm should befall them a tangible impact.
Can we summon up the courage to say that the Chinese, or are our investments and future trade agreements important?
Mr. Gao is not delusional, Western Governments to sacrifice ethics and values in exchange for political and economic benefits you directly in front of their eyes, he wrote.
In addition, completed he his account of more than fifty days to torture,
Finally, I want to say one thing that people will not be pleasant to some. I want to remember the so-called "good friends and partners" of the CCP in the world that the increasing level of confidence of the CCP in the treatment of the Chinese people with more cold-blooded brutality and cruelty is the direct result of the appeasement of you and us (the Chinese people) …
The welfare Mr Gao is the responsibility of the Chinese government and people.
But it is also with us.
Article 33 of the Chinese Constitution makes the following the state respects and guarantees human rights.
We can not allow the Chinese authorities for their own principles to ignore, nor allow our leaders to overlook short-term, cynical economic benefits ..
Mr. Gao is willing to pay any price, its values to defend.
Are we?
