After being assaulted for the fourth time by plainclothes agents, Gao Zhisheng, the renowned and respected Beijing human rights attorney, told the Epoch Times reporter in an interview, “Please say ’thank you' for me to everyone who is concerned about me, and tell them that I’m ok… I promise I will go on doing what I should do in spite of such vicious assaults. ….. I just wish my wife had not witnessed the scene.”

Attorney Gao Zhisheng was assaulted on the night of July 30. He was then brought to Xiaoguan Police Station for questioning, and was released in early in the morning on July 31. Gao told the reporter that this assault was more vicious than the previous ones. Gao was not seriously injured, but sustained injuries all over his body.
