A U.N. human rights expert is urging the Chinese communist regime to uphold the rights of imprisoned human rights defenders and disclose detailed information about several detained activists, including missing Chinese human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng.
Mary Lawlor, the U.N.’s special rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, said she was “disturbed by consistent allegations” about the ill-treatment of human rights advocates imprisoned in China, in a statement on Aug. 11.
Those allegations have included “torture, denial of access to adequate medical care and visitation rights,” she said.
“Despite making repeated requests, the Chinese authorities have yet to provide detailed responses regarding the alleged treatment of these human rights defenders. Instead, the Government has only provided generic replies with little specific information on the questions raised,” Lawlor added.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a long history of human rights abuses.

Lawlor said Beijing should guarantee these detainees are allowed visits from their families and legal representatives, receive proper medical care, be held in officially recognized detention facilities, and disclose their status and location to any individual with a legitimate interest.
