Dong Guangping must be released from unjust and unlawful imprisonment in China
Family and supporters of Chinese human rights defender Dong Guangping have received credible information that confirms he has been held in incommunicado detention by Chinese authorities in the Zhengzhou No. 3 Detention Center in Henan Province since October of last year.
Chinese authorities must release Dong Guangping immediately and unconditionally and allow him to travel to Canada to be reunited with his family. At this point in time he appears to be held without charge or trial. There has been no public acknowledgement of his detention by the Chinese government.

For Immediate Release
Three months after United Nations human rights experts wrote to the Vietnamese government demanding answers to a number of questions about disappeared Chinese human rights defender Dong Guangping, the government has responded with the blithe statement that, “After the verification process, the authorities in Viet Nam have had no information regarding Dong Guangping in Viet Nam.”
That means that seven months since he disappeared after he was arrested, handcuffed, blindfolded and taken into custody in Hanoi by Vietnamese police, Dong Guangping remains missing, his family knows nothing about his fate, and the Vietnamese government continues to refuse to disclose his whereabouts.

(more…) Disappearance of Dong Guangping: Government of Vietnam Must Respond to UN Human Rights Experts
February 14, 2023
Reacting to news that the government of Vietnam has failed to respond to urgent questions from three independent United Nations experts seeking clarification about the fate and whereabouts of her father, disappeared Chinese human rights defender Dong Guangping, Katherine Dong said that,
The government of Vietnam continues to torment my family, by refusing to explain why they arrested my father almost six months ago, and what has happened to him since. I had hoped he would be safely reunited with us here in Canada by now, instead we are left to agonize about his safety. We don’t even know where he is. They won’t answer my questions. They won’t answer questions posed by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada. Now they refuse to answer the United Nations. This is unacceptable and an affront to international law. Vietnamese officials must answer our simple question, ‘where is Dong Guangping?’

As a human rights organization founded in May 1989 in support of the student protests in Tiananmen Square, we have been a strong advocate for human rights and democracy in Hong Kong and China for the past thirty-three years. We have never wavered from taking principled stance against injustices and at the same time, as Canadians, we fully embrace and safeguard the universal core values of freedom, democracy, dignity and justice for all. Whether the suppression and human rights violations from Chinese Communist Part is in Tibet, the Uyghur region, or Hong Kong, the above quote of Dr. Martin Luther King rings true. It is in the same vein that we express our solidarity to the protest actions erupted spontaneously throughout China in the last few days. We strongly encourage you as our friends and supporters to attend the upcoming events against the CCP regime in solidarity.
