【新唐人2011年4月7日讯】曾因代表毒奶粉受害儿童家长争取权益的赵连海，好久没有出现在公众面前，最近，他打破沉默，批评中共当局拘捕知名艺术家艾未未。并在网上发布视频，呼吁中共当局释放艾未未及所有维权人士。请看报导。
去年年底，赵连海以“保外就医”名义被中共当局释放回家，因为行动受到监控，赵连海一直没有出现在公众视野中。4月5号，赵连海请朋友帮忙在网上公开自拍视频，为艾未未及近期被抓捕的维权人士疾声呼吁，他还向公众坦露自己倍感压抑的近况。
赵连海：“到现在官方仍然就他（艾未未）的这个事情没有任何的表态。从我们这来讲，我们所期望的就是官方能够更善意的对待更多的民众。”
赵连海表示，艾未未被抓，令他感慨。他认为仅仅关注是不够的，站出来发出声音才可以。他希望中共当局能尽快的释放艾未未包括所有的更多的维权人士、律师、所有的良心犯。他希望中国能很好的纳入法制的轨道。
艾未未3号被警方拘捕之后，至今音讯全无。而就在他被捕的前五天，他在接受德国《南德意志日报》采访时说，中国目前其实还处于“黑暗时代”。尽管经济快速增长，物质生活水准日益提高，但是中国在言论自由领域却屡创新低。
艾未未被北京公安带走后，近六十名公安搜查艾未未工作室和住家，抄走了三十台电脑和许多文件。
赵连海：“我们不希望中国最终变成像今天的利比亚这样，导致这种剧烈的这种冲突。”
4月5号，赵连海在网上公开一段视频，画面中因“毒奶粉”而身患结石的大儿子，依偎在他的怀中。同时，赵连海也在微博推特上撰文表示，不能再继续保持沉默，为了更多人免于被继续失踪，必须要出声，只要有可能，他仍要继续为未来呐喊。
赵连海告诉《自由亚洲电台》，这段时间以来，他的心情一直非常抑郁。看到非常多的朋友和维权人士、律师，敢仗义执言的人，都陆续的被抓起来，陆续的“被失踪”，他的心情非常悲痛。赵连海还表示，他获“保外就医”后，他家的二楼楼下，住着大批监视者，他的一举一动及一言一行，都在中共的掌控之中。
赵连海认为，当局对一个正常的公民行使这样的一种方式，他是不能认同的。所以，他也一直没有认过罪。现在他实际上是受到软禁的，当局禁止他公开活动及接受采访。但他并没有因为被限制自由而停止关注维权活动。

Activist Appeals for Ai Weiwei’s Release
Recently, Zhao Lianhai, an activist for parents
of children harmed in the 08 China Milk scandal,
criticized the arrest of renowned artist Ai Weiwei.
He posted a video online, appealing to authorities
for the release of Ai Weiwei and all other activists.
Late 2010, Zhao Lianhai was released by authorities
on bail for medical treatment. Since he is monitored,
Zhao hasn’t appeared in public until May 5,
when he asked his friends to post his video online
to appeal for Ai Weiwei and other arrested activists,
and to express his depression.
Zhao Lianhai: “Authorities have made no comment
on Ai Weiwei’s issue yet. From our perspectives,
we hope the authorities treat people better.”
Zhao Lianhai is saddened by Ai Weiwei’s arrest.
He realized that he should make his voice heard.
He hoped authorities would soon release Ai Weiwei
as well as all other activists, lawyers and
prisoners of conscience.
He hopes that China can follow a legal track.
Since his arrest, Ai Weiwei is still unreachable.
Days before his arrest, he told Suddeutsche Zeitung
that China is still currently in “a dark age.”
Despite the rapid economic growth,
China’s freedom of speech is at an all time low.
After Beijing police arrested Ai Weiwei,
around 60 police searched Ai’s studio and house,
confiscating 30 computers and many documents.
Zhao Lianhai: “We hope China will not become
another Libya, with such violent upheavals.”
In Zhao’s video online, his son, who developed
kidney stones from the tainted milk, was in his arms.
Meanwhile, Zhao said on his microblog,
that instead of keeping silent,
he will make his voice heard whenever possible
to protect more people from being kidnapped.
Zhao told Free Asia Radio that he was very upset
to see how many friends, activists, lawyers,
and those who speak up are arrested or kidnapped.
Zhao said that after he was released on bail
for medical treatment, he was closely monitored
by authorities, with many monitors living downstairs.
Zhao did not agree with authorities’ treatment
of him as an ordinary citizen, so he never gave in.
Now he is under house arrest,
with all public activities and interviews banned.
Though deprived of freedom, he does not stop
to pay attention to human rights protection.
