Now his daughter Gege is appealing to Chinese leader Wen Jiaobao. She's hoping her letter will at least get an answer about Gao's whereabouts. For any kid, starting college is a new step in life. But for Gege—the daughter of renowned Chinese lawyer Gao Zhisheng—she will probably take that step without her father's guidance. Gao has been missing for more than 16 months. Now his daughter is appealing directly to Chinese leader Wen Jiaobao for his return. In her letter, published by Hong Kong's Apple Daily on August 25th, Gege tells Wen Jiaobao how life has been for the past five years. The family of four was thrown into turmoil after the Chinese regime gave Gao a suspended sentence for alleged subversion in 2006. Gege writes: "During this time, police lived in my house, in our apartment building. They even built a house two meters across from our window. I had to go to school by police escort, in the end, I couldn't go to school." Gege wrote to the Chinese leader, "Can you tell me where [my father] is? Can he call us? Can you at least tell me if he's still alive?" [Gege, Daughter of Lawyer Gao Zhisheng]: "I didn't think too much when I wrote this letter. I just felt, I really miss my father. I also want everyone to still be concerned ...

For more news visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ facebook.com Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is appealing against a 1.85-million dollar tax bill. Chinese authorities are putting the outspoken artist in a tricky bind—slapping him with a huge fine, and confiscating his accounting records, so he's unable to check the allegations. The design firm of Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei has filed an appeal against a 1.85-million dollar tax bill. Company lawyer Pu Zhiqiang said Ai's wife submitted the appeal with the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau on Wednesday. Ai's wife, Lu Qing is the legal representative of his company, Beijing Fake Cultural Development Limited. The appeal requires proof of the alleged tax evasion and a reassessment of the case. But, Chinese authorities have not returned the accounting records they seized from Ai during his detention. This has put the company in a bind because it's unable to check the allegations. Chinese tax authorities are demanding Ai to pay more than three-quarters of a million US dollars in back taxes and 1.1-million more in fines. Ai received the notice on Monday but he refused to sign the documents. Ai was informed he had three days to appeal. Pu told the Associated Press that the allegations in the notice are ambiguous. No years were specified for the violations, or what kind of tax was evaded—"corporate tax, income tax, or something else." Ai who is critical of the Chinese regime and its suppression of civil ...

Chinese Lawyer April 25 Holds Significant Historical Meaning

Ten years ago tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of an event that changed China forever. As many as ten thousand practitioners of a popular meditation practice called Falun Gong... surprised Chinese leaders when they gathered en masse near the Beijing appeals office. Our correspondent in Hong Kong spoke with a Chinese human rights lawyer about the importance of this event. In July 1999, the Chinese regime officially launched a crackdown of the Falun Gong meditation practice. And a gathering near Beijing's central leadership compound on April 25—three months earlier—was in many ways the beginning. On that day, ten thousand Chinese citizens appealed for their right to practice Falun Gong without harassment from the CCP and its state-run media. We spoke with Xi'an City-based human rights lawyer Zhang Jiankang. Zhang says the April 25th sit-in was not only rational but notably peaceful. And it completely conformed with the people's right to appeal. [Zhang Jiankang, Human Rights Lawyer]: (male, Chinese) "I think it was a very significant and meaningful event in China's modern history. It was a rational and peaceful action undertaken by Chinese citizens, completely peaceful and justifiable, which is remarkable. It was a Chinese-style nonviolent movement." Zhang says that, in his view, any civilized country and government should permit and approve such a rational action. The Chinese communist authorities, however, used state apparatus to violently suppress ...
