China Aid (dr Bob Fu, Pro fide awarded 2012 in Jakobstad, Finland by Friends of the Martyred Church).

"ChinaAid has confirmed that relatives of prominent Chinese human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng were finally allowed to visit him in prison last weekend, putting to rest fears that the pioneer in the growing Christian legal defense movement in China had died during the two-plus years of his forced disappearance into police custody."

Gao Zhiseng has been extremely brutally tortured.

"Gao’s wife, Geng He, telephoned ChinaAid’s founder and president Rev. Bob Fu on Tuesday night confirming the meeting and providing details." Gao is imprisoned in Xinjiang's Shaya Prison." (China Aid, 28.3.2012)

"Chinas best-known human rights lawyer, Gao Zhisheng, has been visited in prison by his family for the first time since he disappeared nearly two years ago, according to his wife.
The treatment of Gao, whose secretive detention has criticism from the UN's human rights body, is one of the thorniest human rights disputes between China and the US."

"Gao’s wife, Geng He, telephoned ChinaAid’s founder and president Rev. Bob Fu on Tuesday night confirming the meeting and providing details. She said that her husband broke into tears when her father told Gao, “My health is greatly improved now that I have seen you.” Gao, who has disappeared into police custody several times since 2006, was last seen by his family members in April 2010 when he briefly resurfaced after a previous long period of disappearance.  During that time, he gave an extensive interview to the Associated Press, an American wire service, in which he gave a detailed account of brutal torture inflicted on him by Chinese police."

"On Aug. 15, 2006, he was kidnapped by the police. On Dec. 22, 2006, he was convicted of “inciting subversion of state power” and sentenced to three years in prison with five years probation, and deprived of political rights for one year.  He was sent back home.  In September 2007, Gao Zhisheng was once again taken into custody.  After his release, his article “Dark Night, Dark Hood and Kidnapping by Dark Mafia” was disseminated.  In it, he describes the tortures he was subjected to during his detention, including the insertion of toothpicks into his genitals."
