AIDS Activists Exposes Plight of Sufferers in China

So what I want to say now, is to leave the truth to the worlds people.

That was Dr. Gao Yoajie speaking at a press conference. She says she wants to leave the truth to the worlds people.

A retired Gynecologist, Dr. Gao has traveled around China to help AIDS sufferers since the 1990s. That was when HIV was spreading rapidly in Henan province where blood was being sold at unsanitary collection centers.

But for all her work, Dr. Gao suffered years of harassment and the Chinese regime put her under house arrest.

Last week, she released her latest book Blood Disaster: 10,000 Letters in Washington, D.C. Its a compilation of thousands of letters she received from AIDS sufferers, orphans who lost their parents to AIDS, and AIDS petitioners.

Dr. Gao says the Chinese communist regime is suppressing AIDS activists.

[Gao Yaojie, AIDS Activist]:
Tempting activists with money doesnt work, also not with material wealth, housing or cars. When all that fails, the [regime] starts to suppress, they follow you, monitor you and put you under house arrest. If all that fails, like with the case of Hu Jia, they will throw you in jail.

Dr. Gao refutes the Chinese regimes claim that AIDS is mostly spread in China through sexual activities or drugs. She says her own investigations show 90% of transmissions are from blood transfusions.

What the Chinese people need to do is to tear down the wicked government and erect the one who would work for the people.
