Guam, Dec. 21, 9:30 am ¨C 11:00 am--- Today, Xizhe Wang, Tim Cooper, Min Wong and
Wu Yue visited Mr. Hongbao Zhang in Guam immigration jail.
The Guam prison police was on a high alert and conducted very strict inspection
because the Guam TV Station and major news media reported the news that Chinese
dissidents were supporting and rescuing Hongbao Zhang. The meeting was arranged
in the prison¡¯s cafeteria. Owing to his hunger strike, Mr. Zhang looked weak and
talked in low voice, but he was in good spirit.
Mr. Xizhe Wang shook hands with Mr. Zhang and advised him to eat. Mr. Wang told
him that his goal for hunger strike had been reached because the whole world
concerned the issue through the propaganda. Mr. Wang hoped Mr. Zhang to stay in
good health for the course of Chinese democracy. Mr. Zhang stated that he would
resume diet gradually.
Mr. Xizhe Wang then passed on the message from Mr. Jinshen Wei and handed the
letter by Mr. Binzhang Wang. He also informed the activities conducted by the
¡°Alliance of Rescuing Hongbao Zhang¡±, which was founded on September 20 at the
news conference held in Washington, DC. It obtained the active response from the
US Congressmen as well.
Mr. Tim Cooper asked Mr. Zhang some questions, especially about his plan after
his release. Mr. Zhang claimed that he would continue to expand his Zhong Gong
cult so as to promote the development of Chinese democracy movement. Both Mr.
Hongbao Zhang and Xizhe Wang exchanged their opinions and reached a common
viewpoint. They agreed to co-operate on a wider scale in developing Chinese
democracy movement abroad and Zhong Gong cult.
Mr. Min Wong helped to plan the rescue procedure on Mr. Zhang who would have the
hearing on the 19th of the following month at the Federal Court in Guam.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Zhang wrote letters in reply of Mr. Jingshen Wei
and Binzhang Wang with the suggestion from Xizhe Wang. Mr. Zhang also wrote a
letter to all friends who were in for overseas democracy movement. In the
letter, Mr. Zhang said, ¡°It is the time for us to fight shoulder-to-shoulder.
Hopefully, we will cooperate smoothly on a wider scale in the area of democracy
and freedom.¡± Before leaving, Xizhe Wang, Tim Cooper, Min Wong and Wu Yue, each
hugged Mr. Zhang and wished each other good health.
After their return, the delegation members held a news conference. The key issue
of the conference was that the most success of the meeting with Mr. Hongbao
Zhang was the strategic alliance with Zhong Gong organization, when the overseas
members who joined the democracy movement were unprecedentedly unified together.
