Stop the Chinese Government Lies about Gao Zhisheng!

The Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., recently informed a San Francisco-based human rights NGO, that Gao Zhisheng was alive, working in Urumqi, a city in rural western China. The same day (on Chinese New Year's Eve), an informant had released a report with photographs "taken very recently," claiming Gao had become a charismatic operational manager in a Xinjiang factory, working with the locals and "even whistling a happy tune daily."

This blatant lie is an outrage! It shows that the Chinese government is simply playing games with Gao's case. The report cannot be confirmed, and the photos were clearly faked. Furthermore, the report about Gao was posted just one week after ChinaAid, with the help of friends like you, conducted a site-wide ad campaign on the popular website DrudgeReport.com, calling on the Chinese government to respond.

Other details in the report, including private inside knowledge of Gao's son recently becoming ill, indicate the family is being kept under close government surveillance, even while living in the United States.

These lies propagated by the Chinese government distract concerned citizens from the real situation. Even worse, these false reports have been very disturbing to the family who eagerly awaits word of their beloved husband and father.

Please help us stop these lies by the Chinese government and force them to tell the truth concerning the whereabouts of human rights attorney, Gao Zhisheng.

Follow the action steps below and alert all your friends and family members. Call on your international leaders to press for accountability from the Chinese government. The Chinese government cannot tell stories forever - with your help, the world will know the truth
