In November 2025, the Chinese regime tried to make her disappear β but mobilisation by civil society groups, including RSF, forced them to back down.
RSF has campaigned for years to expose the inhumane persecution she faces. During her detention, she went on a hunger strike that brought her close to death, was left handcuffed for days on end, and forcibly fed through a nasal tube.
Despite relentless persecution, Zhang Zhan continues her struggle for freedom.
