Finally released after four years in prison, citizen journalist Zhang Zhan has sent this message to followers on social media.
It is a huge relief to see Zhang Zhan released from prison and reunited with her family.
However, we urge the Chinese authorities to ensure that Zhang Zhan is fully free. She must be allowed to move freely and to communicate with people inside and outside of China.
She and her family must not be subjected to surveillance or harassment, and she must have full access to medical treatment after her traumatic ordeal.
China's jailing of Zhang Zhan has been a shameful assault on her human rights. Her release must mark a new beginning.
