<p>We have followed Gao’s case closely and welcomed his release from prison on 7 August
2014. We are concerned by reports that he has been in ill health since his release,
and that his movement is restricted. We urge the Chinese authorities to allow him
access to adequate medical care, and to ensure that his rights to freedom of movement
and communication are duly protected. <br><br>UK officials have repeatedly raised
Gao’s case with the Chinese government, including during the most recent UK-China
Human Rights Dialogue in May 2014, and again prior to his release. We highlight our
range of human rights concerns in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Annual Report
on Human Rights and Democracy, and the quarterly updates to it.</p>
