I've been threatened before. But this time they wanted to kill me.

Our event is completely peaceful and legal. We're using our own bodies, in our own homes to do what we choose. Yet people who have joined the hunger strike are disappearing. I don't know exactly how many people, but this is expanding. I've been followed by the police for more than three months and now they've tapped my phones and cut off most of my communication.

It was just an excuse. I guess it has something to do with the legislative session beginning.

The police in different cities, including Beijing, are starting a mass hunt for hunger strikers.

It's because we have made the government look really bad by the hunger strikes. And its only way to resolve differences with its own people is violence.

They disappeared when they saw I had reached my home, where the plainclothes agents were outside.
