Prominent human rights Lawyer Gao Zhisheng has been missing for six years, with no communication or updates from him or the authorities. Gao's wife and Rights Groups are calling for his release, expressing concern about his well-being and demanding answers about his whereabouts. Gao defended vulnerable individuals, including Christians, coal miners, and followers of the banned Falun Gong movement, and he published a memoir detailing the torture he endured in prison. Rights groups condemn China's use of enforced disappearances to silence critics, calling for Gao's immediate and unconditional release. Other activists and high-profile individuals have also been subjected to enforced disappearance in China.
