#GaoZhisheng, heroic Chinese human rights lawyer, has now been missing for 5 years after being disappeared by the #CCP.
His “crime�� was standing up for those most persecuted by the Chinese regime, publicly, & winning court cases against all odds.

Commemorating the #8964Tiananmen crackdown is now a crime in Hong Kong. This will not stop the world from remembering the bloody events of 4 June 1989.
We continue to commemorate 📆
We stand together ✊

#NargesMohammadi "has proved to be a particular thorn in the authorities’ side, refusing to be silent either in prison or during her brief periods of release between convictions."

Human Rights lawyer #GaoZhisheng went missing in 2017 after publishing his account of 10 years of torture and imprisonment, thus peacefully exercising his right to #FreedomOfExpression. We urge #China authorities to release him now! #Beijing2022@AIUSAChina
We remember June 4, #Tiananmen.
