Dear President Obama,
As you meet with China's President Xi Jinping this week,
please ask him about the current status of Li Heping, a human rights
lawyer in China who has been taken away from his home by ten
policemen on July 10 this year.
Mr. Li's wife, Wang Qiaoling, has been trying to find out
the whereabouts of her husband at the Tianjin Public Security Bureau
which was the id of the people who took her husband but was told
they did not know anything.
Mr. Li is a Christian and is one of China's best known
human rights lawyers who have defended civil rights activists,
victims of forced land acquisition, Falun Gong practitioners,
victims of forced abortion and has defended other human rights
lawyers as well.
Among the many international recognition Mr. Li received
is the Human Rights Award from The Council of Bars and Law Societies
of Europe (CCBE) representing over 700,000 lawyers from the European
Union.
Your inquiry to President Xi about Mr. Li will be most
appreciated by the global human rights communities.
Yours truly,
