(Amsterdam—April 12, 2019) A Chinese petitioner is on track to be repatriated by the Netherlands back to China, where she will likely face severe persecution and may even lose her life.
Chen Yan is a Christian who was part of a group known as the Rose team, and they posted about human rights, freedom, and universal values online. This got the attention of the officials, who began harassing and threatening them. In 2017, she felt the Chinese Communist Party becoming more and more strict, and she fled to the Netherlands, where she has been seeking asylum and taking part in work that exposes the abuses of the Communist Party, including participating in protests and recording videos. Recently, she protested during the visit of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
Therefore, ChinaAid is calling on the Dutch government to not return Chen to China and urging all of its supporters to stand up and tell the Netherlands not to risk the life of an innocent woman.
