China Democracy Party members expressed their congratulations and welcome. Zhang Anni and Zhang Ruli, you all have been working very hard. Because your father Mr. Zhang Lin is China Democracy Party member, is a fighter for achieving democracy in China, your home was always checked by Chinese policemen. You were living under Chinese policemen’s threat and harassment, and could not have a normal life, could not go to school regularly. These sufferings have brought shadow to your life which is hard to get rid of. Now you both are in America, a county with freedom and democracy; you all have human rights. Once again, Congratulations to Zhang Anni and Zhang Ruli, daughters of China Democracy Party member Zhang Lin, on the freedom they get upon arriving America.
China Democracy Party members also introduce Mr. Zhang Lin’s 10 year old daughter Zhang Anni’s situation in their speeches.
In the afternoon of February 27, 2013, Mr. Zhang Lin’s 10 year old daughter Zhang Anni was taken away from Hupo elementary school by four national security, and was held in solitary confinement for 3 hours. Later she was kept together with Mr. Zhang Lin. The total detention time was 20 hours. Then, they were under house arrest in Bengbu, Anhui .
From April 6th to 16th, 2013, lawyers and net friends came from all over the country to Hefei to support Zhang Anni back to school. on April 8th, Mr. Zhang Lin and his daughter were rescued by lawyers and net friends from Benhu to Hefei. Mr. Zhang Lin, lawyers and net friends escorted Anni to Hupo elementary school. However, the school refused to let Anni back to school. The school side asked Mr. Zhang Lin to provide security guarantee from police, which obviously he could not provide. From 10th, Lawyer Liu Weguo announced that he could take a 24 hour hunger strike in Hupo elementary school. The hunger strike had lasted till 16th, and was forced to stop. During these time, some net friends used candlelight on the square to support each other, some tutored Anni on the street, some even set tent out outside the security department there at night, and some gave speeches on the streets.
On April 12th, 2013, Hupo elementary school openly responded to Mr. Zhang Lin, claiming that he did not provide materials such as temporary residence permit in Hefei , business or working certificate and so on, so Zhang Anni us not qualified according to Chapter II Article 8 in “Anhui implemented ‘ Compulsory Education Law’”. Mr. Zhang Lin gave his statement to refute it.
On April 16th, 2013, the scene where people supported Zhang Anni go back to school was cleared up, and Mr. Zhang Lin and Zhang Anni were taken back to Benbu again. Over hundreds covered policemen were involved in this action, and about ten net friends there were taken away by police. Some were released the same day, some were taken back by their local national security, and there were still some remaining unknown.
Mr. Zhang Lin is our role model. He was arrested by the Chinese government for dozens of times, and was sentenced to prison so many times, but he can still adhere to the pursuit of democracy, and determine to devote himself to the democracy in China.
On July 18th, 2013, Mr. Zhang Lin was taken away by Benhu police for revenge, and the next day he was detained in the name of “alleged mob to disturb public places order crime " by the authority.
At the beginning of September 2013, Mr. Zhang Lin’s good friend, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, Yao Cheng took Zhang Anni’s mother and sister to the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai to apply visa to study in America. At the night of September 3rd, Yao Cheng was arrested by the police. At noon on the 7th, Zhang Anni came to Pudong airport with her sister’s company. The staff in U.S. Consulate came to say goodbye. In the morning of September 7th Pacific time, they arrived San Francisco airport. The president of Women＇s Rights Without Frontiers Miss. Reggie came to pick them up at the airport. This couple would become the guardian for Zhang Anni in the United States , help Mr. Zhang Lin take care of Annie ＇s life ,and give her a warm home.
We sincerely hope that Anni would grow healthy in her new America family. And we also hope that more and more caring people would stretch their hands, trying to care China Democracy party members’ family and children who are persecuted.
