Human Rights Watch (HRW) has demanded the immediate release of Peng Lifa, the man who unfurled banners critical of Chinese President Xi Jinping and his stringent "Zero-Covid" policy on Beijing's Sitong Bridge two years ago.
Peng Lifa, also known as "Bridge Man" is widely believed to be the person responsible for initiating one of the greatest protests in China since the Tiananmen Square Massacre, which happened in 1989.
