He is at risk of torture and other  ill-treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On 18 February, Jiang Feng went  missing at Shanghai\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Pudong International Airport. He checked in for his flight to New York, but never boarded the flight. Airline staff said he was  taken away by public security officials after passing \u00c2\u00a0through the security check point. \u00c2\u00a0The authorities have not told Jiang Feng\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s family where he is held, and their efforts to obtain information from police in  Shanghai about his whereabouts have failed. Friends in China believe he may have been taken to his home city of Hefei in Anhui province, hundreds of  kilometres from Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>Jiang Feng had previously been  imprisoned for three years from 1999 to 2002 for his Falun Gong spiritual practice. When he went missing, he was on his way to join his wife, Mei Xuan, a  musician with the New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts group. She fled to the United States in 2006, following her release from four years&#8217;  imprisonment in China for practising Falun Gong. Jiang Feng may have been detained in order to pressure her to cease her involvement with the Shen Yun  Performing Arts group, as some of the group\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s performances includes artistic  representations of the persecution of the Falun Gong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE WRITE IMMEDIATELY in  English, Chinese or your own language:<\/strong><br \/>\nUrging the authorities to reveal  Jiang Feng\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s whereabouts;<br \/>\nCalling for his immediate release  unless charged with an internationally recognized crime;<br \/>\nCalling for a guarantee that he  will not be tortured or otherwise ill-treated while he remains in custody.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE SEND APPEALS BEFORE 21  JUNE 2010 TO:<\/strong><br \/>\nDirector of the Anhui Provincial Department of Public Security<br \/>\nXU Liquan Tingzhang<br \/>\nAnhuisheng Gong&#8217;anting<br \/>\n282 Anqinglu<br \/>\nHefeishi 230061<br \/>\nAnhuisheng<br \/>\nPeople&#8217;s Republic of China<br \/>\n<strong>Fax: +86 551 2801208<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Salutation: Dear Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Director of the Hefei City  Public Security Bureau<br \/>\nShouqunlu 290<br \/>\nHefeishi \u00c2\u00a0230041<br \/>\nAnhuisheng<br \/>\nPeople&#8217;s Republic of China<br \/>\n<strong>Salutation: Dear Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And copies to:<\/strong><br \/>\nMinister of Public Security of  the People&#8217;s Republic of China<br \/>\nMENG Jianzhu Buzhang<br \/>\nGong\u00e2\u20ac\u2122anbu<br \/>\n14 Dongchang\u00e2\u20ac\u2122anjie<br \/>\nDongchengqu<br \/>\nBeijingshi 100741<br \/>\nPeople&#8217;s Republic of China<br \/>\n<strong>Salutation: Dear Minister<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also send copies to diplomatic  representatives of China accredited to your country. <\/strong>Please check with your section office if sending appeals after the above date.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.amnesty.org.uk\/blogs_entry.asp?eid=6514\">Amnesty International site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI URGENT ACTION FALUN GONG PRACTITIONER MISSING IN CHINA Falun Gong practitioner Jiang Feng went missing in Shanghai on 18 February and is believed to be detained by the Chinese authorities.
