Our 2025 handbook "Missing in China" is used by lawyers and diplomatic missions in Beijing to help families and friends of people detained in China. If you're thinking of going to the PRC, read this first.

China is indeed the PRD - the People’s Republic of the Disappeared
I don’t intend to be one of them
But I do intend to make a noise for them
Thank you @SafeguardDefend
China's #RSDL and #Liuzhi system now so institutionalized that private companies are making advertising videos for their solitary confinement cell products. Here are a bunch of them, courtesy of #tiktok.

Idag är det elva år sedan den svenske medborgaren Gui Minhai frihetsberövades av Kina. Hans fall är högt prioriterat av både den svenska regeringen och av EU, vilket jag nyligen tog upp med Kinas utrikesminister Wang Yi. Vi arbetar outtröttligt för att Gui Minhai ska friges och återförenas med sin dotter och familj.
Despicable. Not at all surprising, but despicable.

無國界記者（RSF）與保護衛士（ @SafeguardDefend）要求泰國當局停止將中國記者白兆東驅逐出境，在中國提出請求後，泰國已啓動對他的引渡程序。展開相關程序的次日原定將舉行聽證會，以就其拘留的合法性提出異議。如遭遣返中國，這名資深記者可能面臨迫害、任意拘留及酷刑。 rsf.org/zh-hans/rsf-safeguar…

RSF and @SafeguardDefend demand the Thai authorities halt the deportation of Chinese journalist Bai Zhaodong as extradition proceedings against him begin on #China’s request. The proceedings come the day before a hearing was scheduled to challenge the legality of his detention. The veteran reporter could face persecution, arbitrary detention and torture if returned to China.

In March this year in Beijing, a desperate petitioner drove an excavator into a crowd of people, killing 13. Some think that scared the CCP so much that it passed new rules barring petitions being filed in the capital.

上访者是中国遭受迫害最严重的群体之一，他们遭到殴打、绑架、拘留、甚至被关进精神病院。有律师指出，今年夏天通过的一项新规定，赋予了警方更大的权力来控制以及惩处他们。safeguarddefenders.com/zh-ha…

Petitioners are one of China’s most persecuted groups, they're beaten, kidnapped, detained and held in psychiatric jails. A new rule passed this summer gives police even more powers to control or punish them, say lawyers.
