Guangping Dong, a Chinese human rights activist who was accepted as a refugee by Canada in 2015. He was subsequently jailed by China and released again in 2020 and fled to Vietnam. He has been missing in Vietnam since June and his family fears he has been deported to China again.The daughter of a Chinese human-rights activist accepted as a refugee by Canada is appealing to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to help free him after Dong Guangping went missing in Vietnam recently.
Mr. Trudeau is headed to Asia for two summits, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations gathering in Phnom Penh, and Group of 20 meetings in Bali.“It has been agonizing to be apart from my father for the past seven years. My mother and I worried about him while he was imprisoned in China,” she said on Thursday. “We worried while he was in hiding in Vietnam, waiting to be resettled to join us in Canada.
Ms. Dong said she last talked to her father by phone in June when he was in Vietnam. She said he gave her no indication that “he felt like he was in danger or was being followed.”pleaded with Vietnam and China to let her father leave for Canada. “My mother and I have built a new life here in Canada and I have become a Canadian citizen.

Thailand, however, deported Mr. Dong back to China, where he was jailed by Beijing for “inciting subversion of state power” and “illegally crossing a national border,” according to Mr. Neve, who has been working on this case for years. “International law makes it very clear you do not deport a refugee back to the country where they are facing a risk of serious human-rights violations,” Mr. Neve said.
