高智晟，1964年4月20日生於陝西省榆林市佳縣，出身貧寒卻自學成才，成為備受尊敬的律師。上世紀90年代末起，他為弱勢群體、宗教信徒、訪民以及遭受酷刑的民眾提供法律援助，三度被評為「中國十大傑出律師」。然而，正因為他不畏強權、揭露中共對人權的踐踏，自2006年起，他多次被非法拘押，秘密判刑與軟禁，並被威脅恐嚇，毆打，腳踹，剝奪睡眠，電擊，竹簽捅生殖器等酷刑折磨，人格和尊嚴被極度羞辱和摧殘。
2014年刑滿出獄後，他仍被嚴密監控、與外界隔絕。2017年8月13日，高智晟在家中再次被帶走，自此失蹤，當局至今拒絕公佈任何下落，亦不允家屬探視。八年間，他的妻子耿和與孩子漂泊海外，日夜煎熬，只盼證明他還活著。
高智晟的遭遇，是中共濫用國家機器、剝奪公民自由的血證！他的勇氣與信念，象徵著中國人爭取公義與尊嚴的意志；他的失蹤，揭露了中共司法黑幕與人權災難的真相！
8月17日這一天，我們不能沉默！我們將前往中共駐洛杉磯總領事館，要求中共立即公開高智晟的下落，保障他的生命安全，釋放一切政治犯，結束一黨專政！

About Gao Zhisheng:
Born April 20, 1964, in Jia County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, Gao Zhisheng came from a poor background but was self-taught and became a highly respected lawyer. In the late 1990s, he began providing legal aid to vulnerable groups, religious believers, petitioners, and victims of torture. He was named one of “China’s Top Ten Outstanding Lawyers” three times. However, because he dared to stand up to power and expose the CCP’s human rights abuses, he was subjected to repeated illegal detentions, secret trials, and house arrest since 2006, along with threats, beatings, kicks, sleep deprivation, electric shocks, and even torture with bamboo sticks to his genitals — all causing extreme humiliation and destruction of his dignity.
After his release from prison in 2014, he remained under strict surveillance and was cut off from the outside world. On August 13, 2017, Gao was taken from his home again and has been missing ever since. Authorities have refused to disclose his whereabouts or allow family visits. For eight years, his wife Geng He and their children have endured the agony of exile overseas, clinging to the hope that he is still alive.
Gao Zhisheng’s case is undeniable proof of the CCP’s abuse of state power and deprivation of citizens’ freedoms! His courage and convictions symbolize the Chinese people’s will to fight for justice and dignity; his disappearance exposes the CCP’s judicial darkness and human rights catastrophe.
On August 17, we will not remain silent! We will go to the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles to demand that the CCP immediately disclose Gao Zhisheng’s whereabouts, ensure his safety, release all political prisoners, and end one-party dictatorship!
