China Aid investigators are dispatched on short notice to the scenes of persecution to conduct direct interviews with victims and family members. With collaboration from local church leaders and members, these monitors gather information including photos, video and audio interviews. All information is verified by secondary sources before being transmitted to CAA headquarters.
Based on our determination of the degree of urgency, and with permission from the victims or family members, CAA delivers emergency funds, contacts the media and notifies Western governments and NGOs. When appropriate, we direct letter-writing campaigns, urging release of the prisoner(s). Some letters are directed to Chinese embassies and consulates, prison authorities and top Chinese government officials. Others, directed to the President of the United States, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and the State Department, request diplomatic intervention. We also encourage the free world to write letters to the prisoners and their families to encourage them and let them know they are not forgotten.
