Zhang Hai, a Wuhan native living in Shenzhen who has been trying to hold the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities accountable for his father’s death during the initial COVID-19 outbreak, was recently threatened by CCP police.
Zhang told The Epoch Times on Oct. 29, “The police came to my home after 10 p.m. last night and said that I made inappropriate remarks on Twitter and WeChat. But they did not specifically say what I said that was inappropriate.” Zhang’s posts on WeChat and Twitter were mainly about the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This incident makes me feel that they know that they are guilty of concealing the initial outbreak in Wuhan and very sensitive about it. Otherwise, why would the police come to my door at night?” he said. Zhang and his father were living in Shenzhen at the start of the pandemic. But on Feb. 1, 2020, because they were unaware of the outbreak in Wuhan, Zhang took his father to Wuhan to seek medical treatment. As a result, his father contracted COVID-19 in a Wuhan hospital and passed away from COVID-19 soon after.
