BEIJING — Gao Zhisheng, a prominent human-rights lawyer whose 13-month disappearance at the hands of Chinese security agents stirred an outcry until he resurfaced in March, has again vanished, his friends said Friday.
Associates said Gao failed to return to a Beijing apartment April 20 after spending more than a week in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang region in western China, where he had been visiting his father-in-law.
That appeared to be his last contact with the outside world. Li Heping, a Beijing human-rights lawyer, said he had visited Gao’s apartment but had not found him.
