International Effort Brings Attention to Gao Zhisheng’s Case
ChinaAid Association
(OSLO -- Dec. 8, 2010) On International Human Rights Day this Friday, Dr. Liu Xiaobo will be awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize at a ceremony in Oslo. President of ChinaAid Bob Fu was given the honor of an invitation to attend the ceremony.
Although many will travel from across the globe to attend the ceremony, the honored guest, Dr. Liu, will be continuing his 11-year prison sentence in a dark cell in China.
To coincide with these two major events, ChinaAid is mobilizing an international effort
to continue to raise awareness about the plight of missing human rights lawyer Gao
Zhisheng, who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008 and 2010.
Fu, in Oslo, will be joined by a number of European human rights activists, lawyers, leaders of nongovernmental organizations and citizens to deliver nearly 150,000 signatures to Chinese embassies and consulates around the world. He will also meet with Norwegian Parliament members and other world leaders to press for religious freedom and rule of law in China.
