Urgent: This Persecuted Christian Lawyer Needs YOUR Help

Gao Zhisheng, renowned Christian human rights lawyer, showed incredible courage when he spoke out in defense of Falun Gong and other persecuted groups in China who could find no one else to represent them.

Now it’s our turn to speak for him. Mr. Gao was imprisoned for his acts of kindness, and the petition below calls on Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping to release him immediately.

When Mr. Gao offered legal assistance to Falun Gong adherents, who are often imprisoned and severely tortured for practicing their peaceful meditation discipline, Mr. Gao himself was imprisoned and tortured for years. He was recently released from prison, but he is kept under surveillance and not allowed to reunite with his family in the United States or receive appropriate medical treatment.

The petition states, “Physically and mentally devastated from years of mistreatment, the man once known as ‘the Conscience of China’, speaks unintelligibly and is slow to respond to others. Denied critical medical care, many of his teeth have fallen out and nerve damage keeps him in constant pain.”
