Talking about China's Human Rights on International Human Rights Day: the more the suppression, the more the resistance.
December 10 is International Human Rights Day.
China's human rights situation has been attracting international attention.
Human rights activists said that this year in China
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) still continued to suppress human rights.
However, the more the CCP suppresses, the more people resist.
The year of 2011 will soon be over.
According to various public opinion notes and media reports,
we can see that there are human rights violations in many areas
of China, including illegal detention, torture,
detaining petitioners, suppression of dissidents, persecution
of beliefs and religions, and so on.
At the same time, the voices of people's resistance to
these measures are more and more intense.
"Radio Free Asia" reports that the petitioners gathering
in Beijing from various places,
are going to United Nations agencies in Beijing
asking for help on “Human Rights Day”.
They call on the international community to pay attention to
China's human rights situation.
Also 400 petitioners have sent out appeal letters together with
signatures demanding human rights from the UN.
The appeal letters also list some cases in which the authorities
are suppressing human rights in ShangHai,
including suppression to activists Feng Zhenghu, Bi Heying,
Mao Hanfeng, Ding Juying, Zhou Zhu and so on.
In addition to the usurped home owner groups in Shanghai,
Zhejiang and other places, activists and dissidents
in Guangzhou, Guizhou and other places will protest for
human rights on "Human Rights Day".
"June Fourth Sky net" founder Huang Qi, who has long been
committed to human rights, analyzed the human rights situation for this year in China.
"June Fourth Skynet" founder Huang Qi:
"In mainland China, despite the continuing suppression,
generally speaking, because of the supporting protests of
domestic and foreign friends, the human rights in mainland China are going in a good direction.
We have seen many instances of suppression.
The common protests of the public and all sectors in society are becoming more and more.
The internet is more and more developed,
therefore many suppression events are exposed on the internet and other media.
It will head towards a more relaxed environment which
no one is able to stop. "
Hu Jun, head of "Rights movement", thinks that the CCP
wants to carry out a smooth shift during the 18th session,
and so they have suppressed the public to an unreasonable extent.
He believes that the human rights situation in China is still deteriorating.
Hu Jun: “The CCP also knows its system
is now unsustainable in the long term.
Therefore the CCP has suppressed the people even to
the extent of insanity.
For example, Gao Zhisheng's prison term now is over,
but nobody knows where he is.
Also like the case of Ai Weiwei,
who was suppressed again and again.
And Chen Guangcheng who is blind. Against a blind person,
the CCP conducts such a large scale siege.
For such a powerful country is it necessary to be afraid of
a blind person to that extent?”
"Deutsche Welle" quoted the report of "Human Rights Watch"
released in May which said that this year,
more than 200 people were subjected to enforced disappearance,
arrest, house arrest, surveillance, subpoena and the threat of violence.
At least 39 lawyers, activists and bloggers suffered
criminal detention.
Among them, 7 people were formally arrested on charges
of "endangering national security", and 18 people were forced to 'disappear'.
"Participation Net" reports that the CCP is responding to
the coming "Human Rights Day" with activists and
dissidents across China being “asked to drink tea”, namely,
being asked to meet National Security personal.
More than a dozen active memmbers of "Guizhou seminar
on human rights" were taken away last Tuesday.
They are still being detained. Human rights seminars
are also characterized as an illegal organization by the CCP authorities.
Earlier, it was reported that the situation of Chinese blind
human rights lawyer Chen Guangcheng had slightly improved.
However, "Voice of America" reported that
quite a few netizens supporting him were detained or controlled by the police.
The BBC also reported that the US-based "protection Reporters
Committee" said on December 8 that there are 27 reporters jailed in China,
ranking it the third largest number in the world.
In addition, in order to protest against the CCP's tyranny,
since March, 12 incidents of "Tibetan self-immolation" have happened in China.
Dawa Tsering, Chairman of the board of the Dalai Lama
Religion Foundation, said: "I think the Chinese government's
consistent method is to lie outside, and to suppress inside.
So human rights organizations abroad should have two aspects to their effective responses.
One is to expose their lies, giving the truth to the international
community. This is very important.
The other is to urge their respective governments or organizations,
or Parliaments to put pressure on the Chinese government."
On the 10th of December 1948,
the United Nations adopted the "Declaration of Human Rights,"
and made the 10th of December
"International Human Rights Day" an annual event.
However, the human rights situation in China
has always been condemned by the outside world.
