<p>We remain concerned about human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, who has been imprisoned
in Xinjiang since 2011. We raised his case directly with Chinese officials during
the UK-China Human Rights Dialogue on 19-20 May, and urged the Chinese authorities
to respect the constitutionally guaranteed rights of all detainees, including access
to family, lawyers and adequate medical care.</p><p>We understand that Gao’s prison
term is due to end soon, and we urge the Chinese authorities to ensure that his rights
to freedom of movement and communication are duly protected on his release.</p>
