Gao Zhisheng: ‘I Will Fight for My Family’s Living Rights’

By Gao Ling, The Epoch Times, Apr 09, 2007-

With the help of Hu Jia, a Beijing human rights activist, we once again heard from renowned mainland China human rights attorney Gao Zhisheng.

Since Gao was secretly arrested by the Chinese communist regime on August 15, 2006, the outside world was not able to get any news of the Gao family. People were not allowed to visit them, and all visitors were monitored, investigated, warned and threatened.

We only got some news of Gao from Hu Jia, who is also being monitored 24×7 and who is going to be a father soon.

On April 6, at 1:25p.m., attorney Gao Zhisheng finally managed to call Hu Jia, who then immediately released the contents of the phone call to the world without hesitation. So, for the first time since last August, the outside world heard from Gao.

In the conversation, Attorney Gao talked about what he has been experiencing since his detention: torture, brainwashing, threatening, slandering and the bullying of his family.

Although this telephone conversation only provides parts of his experiences, we can tell that Gao Zhisheng has not changed. He is frank, clear and righteous as he has always been.

When talking about his family, he said: “I will fight hard for my family. I do not mind being jailed again, if that could improve the living condition of my family and my children…”

One hour after his conversation with Hu Jia, attorney Gao’s phone line was once again disconnected. Many of his friends tried to contact him, but failed to get hold of him.

We do not know the current situation of attorney Gao and his family.
