For six years, human rights activist Gao Zhisheng has been missing. Nobody knows if he is still alive. Throughout his career, Gao was intimidated, harassed, and tortured by the Communist Party. In this recently translated statement obtained by The Barefoot Lawyer Reports, his wife, Geng He, demands Chinese President Xi Jinping investigate his disappearance.

"Then, four men with electric shock prods began beating my head and all over my body. Nothing but the noise of the beating and my anxious breathing could be heard. I was beaten so severely that my whole body began uncontrollably shaking. “Don’t pretend to do that!” I was shouted at by a guy whom I later learned was named Wang. Then a very strong and tall (1.9 meters) man grabbed my hair and pulled me up off the ground." These harrowing words are human rights activist Gao Zhisheng's recollections of his kidnapping in 2011. After he published a series of documents highlighting human rights abuses committed by the Communist Party to Western media, the Communist Party began a seemingly endless campaign of violence and intimidation against him and his family. This culminated in his most recent "disappearance," which occurred on August 13, 2017. Since then, nobody knows if he is still alive.

In July of 2023, a college student in China posted footage of a mouse head he found in his cafeteria food. The local government swiftly insisted it was a duck neck, not a mouse head. They then forced the student to share a video saying it was a duck neck, though a formal investigation revealed that it was, indeed, a mouse head. Since then, the student has not been heard from online, leading many analysts to believe he was detained. This ordeal echoes a famous Chinese story in which a powerful military leader tested the loyalty of his followers by calling a deer a horse; those who agreed with him lived and those who disagreed were executed.

In July of 2023, the Chinese Communist Party arrested a man who built a bridge over a river without the government's blessing. The river had killed several people who tried crossing it, though the Communist Party refused to help the villagers.

Wang Quanzhang was a victim of the infamous 709 crackdown in 2015. Ever since, he has been harassed by the Communist Party. In the last couple months, he has been evicted 14 times in an effort to relocate his family to a rural part of China. The Communist Party has been trying to force the families of activists to stay away from Beijing, where activists are more connected to Western media, so they can be more closely monitored and persecuted in lesser-exposed parts of China.
