Background Information
From the beginning when Dr. Li Wenliang informed the world of the Wuhan Virus in December, 2019, the government of China has done everything to coverup the spread of the virus.  Dr. Li died in February, 2020 from the virus.
Chinese citizen journalists, Zhang Zhan and Chen Qiushi have been detained as a result of their reporting about the virus in Wuhan.
Zhang Zhan is on hunger strike since early summer.
Both Zhang Zhan and Chen Qiushi are one of Visual Artists Guild 2020 Champion for Freedom of Speech awardees.
China continues to refuse to allow international researchers to go to Wuhan to find out the source of the virus.
Without such research, the Wuhan virus pandemic will not be resolved.
