Regular readers of this column know a lot about Jian-li Yang, the Chinese scholar and democracy activist who is in some Communist dungeon. (By the way, his name is sometimes rendered "Yang Jianli.") His wife, Christina Fu, and kids are American citizens. The latest from Christina is this letter: Dear Friends, Members of the U.S. Congress will commemorate the second anniversary of my husband's detention and call for his release by writing another letter to the Chinese government this week. A Dear Colleague letter from Congressmen Cox and Frank was sent out today for signatures. Again, I come to you for help. I'd greatly appreciate your calling your representatives as soon as you can to urge them to sign the letter. I was horrified to hear about the recent physical abuse of my husband in the detention center. At the same time, I cherish your support and efforts even more. On behalf of my husband, I thank you again for your strength and commitment to working for my husband's freedom.
Yours truly, -------------------------- |
