Christian Web News - One year ago today, Chinese Christian attorney and human rights activist, Gao Zhisheng, was kidnapped by the Chinese government. All over the world, people and governments have demanded his release.

Last year, Gao Zhisheng was a world-renowned Chinese Christian attorney, a champion of human rights and equality before the law. He was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2008, a hero of the Chinese people. He risked everything to defend the persecuted, and fought for freedom for religious minorities. He shared the truth of his torture at the hands of the Chinese government. And he could see, hear, and touch his family, loving them with faith and courage.

Then last year, on February 4th, 2009, everything changed.

Today, Gao Zhisheng is denied the basic human rights he fought for every day on behalf of his fellow countrymen. He hidden from the world by the Chinese government, masked by a shroud of secrecy and doubt. Gao's wife and children face devastating separation, suffering from the pain of loss and uncertainty. Gao suffers silent torture, never knowing if he will see his loved ones again.

Today, is the day to make the truth known.

Today, on February 4, 2010, we refuse to let Gao Zhisheng be forgotten, and we challenge the Chinese government to answer our cry: "Where is Gao Zhisheng?"

ChinaAid calls again on the international community, on the one year anniversary of Gao's forced disappearance, to raise their voices to Free Gao Zhisheng.
