Family meets with jailed activist
ChinaAid's media team reported on the prison visit with pro-democracy activist Wang Bingzhang, who was confirmed alive after a four-year gap between visits by family members.

Pray for Wang's health and for officials to release him from jail on compassionate grounds.
