Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Jiang Feng went missing in Shanghai on 18 February and is believed to be detained by the Chinese authorities. He is at risk of torture and other ill-treatment.
On 18 February, Mr. Jiang went missing at Shanghai's 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 through the security checkpoint. The authorities have not told Jiang Feng's family where he is being 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.
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' imprisonment in China for practicing Falun Gong. Mr. Jiang may have been detained in order to pressure his wife to cease her involvement with the Shen Yun Performing Arts group, as some of the group's performances include artistic representations of the persecution of Falun Gong.
