Gao Zhisheng; Chinese Human Rights defender
Gao Zhisheng; Chinese Human Rights defender
"On certain issues, I cannot be swayed, because it is a matter of principle. How could you persuade me to turn a blind eye towards the most bloody and ruthless persecution in today's China? How can this be right?"
"At present, they are not taking a stand on the most important issues, and this will be a big disappointment for human rights defenders of the future. My decision, and those of some others, to stand up for these people's rights will definitely reflect positively on the human rights protection movement in China."
I am not completely familar with Gao Zhisheng but if his story is true, I hope nothing but the best of him, with my picture of him thus far. He is a human rights attorney in China, and if you know anything about China, you know that he is in a world of strangers and dangers.
