The United States is deeply concerned by reports that PRC citizen journalist Ms. Zhang Zhan was released from Shanghai Women’s Prison on May 13 as expected after serving four years in prison on charges related to her reporting on the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan. Has disappeared after release. The United States has repeatedly expressed its grave concerns about the arbitrary nature of his detention and his ill-treatment by authorities. We reiterate our call on the PRC to respect Ms. Zhang’s human rights, including immediately ending the restrictive measures she and all journalists in the PRC face, including surveillance, censorship, harassment And threats are involved. Journalists must be safe and able to report freely in the PRC.
