ICC Note: Unfortunately, it seems that there is no end to the unjust saga that Chinese human rights lawyers must contend with each day because of the malevolence of their government. Even after these men and women have endured outrageous trials and have been forced into giving perturbing “confessions” which deny the good and honest motivations of their work, the Chinese Communist Party will not relent in its quest to squash opposition. A few of these attorneys still have not been seen even after their release from jail was supposedly confirmed. Unfortunately, the risk indefinite detainment is one that all Chinese Christians take upon whenever they worship God more than they compliment the hopelessly insecure CCP.

8/9/2016 China (Radio Free Asia) – Two prominent human rights attorneys detained at the start of a nationwide operation targeting lawyers last year have yet to regain their liberty, despite having been “released” on bail, rights activists said.

Bao Longjun, husband and colleague of rights lawyer Wang Yu, was granted bail on Aug. 5, and was reported by state media to be in good health following a meeting with his wife, who is also reportedly out on bail.

But the couple has yet to be seen by friends or former colleagues, however, and may be being held under some form of soft detention at an unknown location.

Meanwhile, 13 other lawyers and rights activists look set to face further televised “confessions” and show trials in the coming weeks, rights activists said.

“[Wang] has so far not been free to go home or contact supporters, and her whereabouts remain unknown,” the Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) network, which collates reports from activists inside China, said in a statement on Monday.

“[Bao’s] whereabouts remain unknown at this time,” it said.

It said the couple were “on bail but not free,” and that their treatment followed a similar pattern to that of detained legal assistant Zhao Wei, who was reported as being “released” on July 7, but who also hasn’t been seen since.
