"We need our own government to get its ducks in a row...before my dad has to suffer even more"
A week before @SecBlinken travels to Beijing, Harrison Li, son of @FreeKaiLi, asks @POTUS to use all tools to free all Americans wrongfully detained in China.
#BringThemHome
"In grandpa's memory, our family urges President Biden to meet with us and then immediately use the necessary tools to bring home my dad"
A statement by @HarrisonLi15 on the passing of his grandfather (Kai's dad) and how it underscores the need for immediate action from @POTUS.
The @WhiteHouse says our American hostages are their highest priority. But last month @PressSec didn’t even know our loved ones’ names.
So all of our families made this video together w/
@WayneAbbott to remind her & @POTUS.
Say their names and #BringThemHome!

“I'm not aware of any concrete evidence that this will encourage more hostage-taking," said Harrison Li, son of Chinese-American Kai Li, detained by China since 2016. "
As #China ramps up hostage diplomacy against foreigners, the detention of this one American businessman #KaiLi, that has been too little reported, is finally deemed #arbitrary by UN working group #wgad Kai was subjected to #RSDL and sentenced to 10 years at a secret trial.
The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has just released a decision denouncing Kai's detention as arbitrary:

Kai's detention was found to violate articles 3, 6, 8, 9, 10,
11 (1) and 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

In the US such conditions have been ruled by a judge as "cruel and unusual punishment"

Text "SIGN ZCFOFT" to 50409 to add your name to a congressional letter to Free Kai Li!
In his monthly consular call yesterday, Kai indicated he's "not feeling as strong as he was a few years ago". He remains in a tiny cell with 12 prisoners in 100 degree+ heat (heat index 110-120), obviously with no AC.
