Christian citizen journalist Zhang Zhan, a Wuhan COVID whistleblower, looked very thin and was "almost unrecognizable, like skin and bones," according to her defense lawyer Ren Quanniu, who visited her at the Shanghai Detention Center on Dec. 17.
Ren Quanniu said Zhang Zhan's health had visibly deteriorated; she was frail and shaky and "had been 'stripped' of any resemblance to her previous photos on the internet," human rights watchdog China Aid reports.
Zhang Zhan, a former lawyer turned citizen journalist, left her home in Shanghai and went to Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, in February to report about the things that were happening there.
