Human Rights defender Hu Jia, handcuffed and shackled in legchains, was barely able to move when his mother visited him in a prisonhospital in Beijing in the end of this March.

Doctors discovered a growth on Hu’s liver last month.

Hu Jia is extremely ill and could be suffering from livercancer.

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
