Lu has been a lifelong advocate of human rights, religious freedom and democracy, and was herself imprisoned for over 6 years after giving a speech to commemorate Human Rights Day, in which Amnesty International subsequently deemed her a prisoner of conscience. Lu described her experiences as a human rights and democracy advocate at a briefing at Amnesty International, and with senior leaders from the McCain Institute, Freedom House, the Heritage Foundation, and with participants of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable.
While in Washington, Lu also provided interviews at Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, and met with Commissioner Katrina Lantos-Swett of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, and Members of Congress, including Senator Cornyn (R-Texas), and Congressmen Meadows (R-N.C.), McGovern (D-Mass.), Salmon (R-Ariz.), Pittenger (R-N.C.), Harper (R-Miss.), Smith (R-N.J.), Sires (D-N.J.), Forbes (R-Va.), Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), and Chabot (R-Ohio).
China Aid works closely with NGO leaders such as Madame Lu to promote religious freedom and related human rights, and strengthen partnerships with like-minded individuals and organizations.
