The concept of an authoritarian grand unity that has dominated Chinese civilization for more than 2,000 years has left a deep imprint in the culture of the Han. Two pathologies thus formed among them cultural arrogance, and the mentality of power and interest. These two are the root causes of the disease of ignorant thinking among many Han Chinese. China was one of the most serious victims of Western cultural arrogance. Were it not for the ferocity of Marxism-Leninism would China’s modernization have killed so many people? But a major reason for China becoming a serious victim of Western cultural arrogance, was the Han predilection for power and interest. When stubborn cultural arrogance incurred comprehensive humiliation... Läs mer

1/6: MXp: CBC-video från 3-4 juni 1989
Taipei Times: Taiwan urged to export democracy to China
It’s about time for Taiwan to become an "exporter of democracy,” speakers at a conference on the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre said in Taipei yesterday, urging the government to discuss human rights issues during cross-strait negotiations.
"China has become an ‘exporter of authoritarianism — not because of any ideological reasons, but for its own national interests,” said Yiong Cong-ziin, director of the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) Department of Social Movement.
... "As the Chinese government cracks down on Tibetan demonstrators in Lhasa, arrests Chinese human rights activists and even allows live organ harvest of Falun Gong practitioners, we cannot pretend that all these do not happen and we only focus on economic exchanges,” Yiong said.
“If we do, we would become a member of China’s ‘axis of evil,’” he said.

31/5: Tibetan Review: China asked to respect its own rights laws
Ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre of Jun 3-4, 1989, Amnesty International released its annual report, in which it said the human rights situation in China worsened last year. It said China had claimed that last year's Olympic Games would mark a turning point for the country's human rights situation whereas what actually happened was quite the opposite.

28/5: mwcnews: Forced labour and organ harvesting
By Davis Matas
China is not a country with an independent judiciary and the rule of law. There is no means in China of enforcing the promises in the Constitution. What the Constitution of China says is not a reliable indicator of what is happening in China.
... An extremely large group of people subject to the exercise of the whims and power of the state, without recourse to any form of protection of their rights, provides a potential source for organ harvesting of the unwilling. These detention facilities are not just forced labour camps. They are also potential forced organ donor banks.

Spansk undersökning om kinesiskt folkmord i Tibet
7/5: I januari 2006 informerade spansk domstol att Spanien kommer att inleda en undersökning av det kinesiska kommunistpartiets folkmord mot det tibetanska folket under 1980- och 90-talet.
Kommunistregimen är skyldig till politiskt och kulturellt förtryck och ödeläggelse i Tibet. Enligt information som sammanställts av den tibetanska exilregeringen har kommunistpartiets förtryck inneburit 87 000 tibetaners död.
I februari 2009 fattade domaren Santiago Pedraz beslut att ärendet ska gå vidare.
Den 5 maj sade domaren att han ämnar förhöra åtta kinesiska ledare, därav försvarsminister Liang Guanglie och ministern för inrikes säkerhet Geng Huichang.

Saturday marks the 10th anniversary of a protest by an estimated 10,000 practitioners who stood silently around the Communist Party leadership compound in Beijing, alerting the government to the group's strength and wide appeal. International human rights groups, the United Nations and numerous Western governments have particularly criticized China for using reeducation through labor to punish practitioners.

Perhaps the CCP wants to fool the world into believing that it is "great, glorious, and correct" about human rights, while in fact the CCP has been the world's biggest human rights abuser.

15/2: Pro-Life News: Obama, China, Planned Parenthood, Abortion, Whole Foods
A leading Congressman says the administration of President Barack Obama has failed to actively participate in a United Nations review of the human rights records of China and three other nations. Rep. Frank Wolf, a Virginia Republican, says the UN review occurs every four years by the U.N. Human Rights Council. China has a policy of only allowing families to have one child and violators suffer from a range of human rights abuses from forced abortions and sterilizations to loss of jobs to imprisonment, harassment and house arrest. One of the leading opponents of the forced abortion campaign, blind attorney Chen Guangcheng, has been sentenced to a four year prison term on trumped up charges to prevent him from exposing the abuses to media outlets. Wolf says Obama has not followed up on his promise to be tough on human rights abusers.

Brevet når offentlighet samtidigt som FN:s Människorättsråd (UNHRC) har sin Periodic Review session om Kinas hantering av mänskliga rättigheter.

They will expose the true face of today’s China and will disclose the unimaginable heart and characteristics of the “ruling party” in China. Of course, these words will inevitably bring unpleasant and even disturbed, embarrassed feelings to those global “good friends” and “nice partners” of today’s Chinese Communist Party—IF these global “good friends” and “nice partners” still have some concern in their hearts for the value of human conscience and morality...

The major media believe that more money can be made by entertainment rather than by discussing China's preparations to annihilate the free countries...

02-13 China's Stubborn Anti-Democracy. Hoping for change isn't enough.
For more than a decade, successive U.S. presidents have declared that political liberalization leading ultimately to democratization in China would be desirable and decidedly in America’s — and the world’s — interests... Many china observers have long been predicting that China’s encounter with market forces or liberal institutions and instruments from the West would spur inevitable democratic change. These observers have been right that China would become more pluralistic and multifaceted. But they have been delusional in thinking that Chinese leaders would simply roll over and relinquish power when presented with new challenges to their rule. On everything ranging from trade to the Internet, from village elections to the rule of law, Chinese rulers have consistently proven China optimists wrong.

What does that mean? It means that Falun Gong practitioners and other detainees are detained using their real names, but when it comes to organ transplants, fake names are used. In other words, a false identity is created. And, all of this fake person's information is available, and a voluntary transplant organ donation form is signed (of course the signature is fake). I have encountered over 60,000 of these documents with falsified signatures.
hans första vittnesmål
The CCP Has Harvested Organs for More than 30 Years."The evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is responsible for the death of over 80 million people who died during its political campaigns. More than 30 years have passed, but the same atrocity continues. The CCP uses brutal and inhuman methods on innocent Falun Gong practitioners all across China. There are, we heard, at least 36 concentration camps similar to the Sujiatun concentration camp in Shenyang City, where the CCP harvests Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profit."

Stafetthungerstrejk till Sverige

Gao Zhisheng (AFP)

Den 4 februari initierade en av Kinas främsta försvarsadvokater, Gao Zhisheng, en hungerstrejk tillsammans med sexton andra kända aktivister och förkämpar för demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter i Kina. Den fredliga hungerstrejken, som i Kina nu sprids till allt fler provinser, möts med våld och hot och deltagare sätts i husarrest.
Från 20 februari kl. 06:00 till den 25 februari kl 16:00 deltog MR-organisationen SHRIC i denna världsomspännande stafetthungerstrejk.

Global hungerstrejk till stöd för förtryckta i Kina
Måndagen den 6 mars äger en global hungerstrejk rum i världen: Global Relay Hunger Strike for Human Rights in China. Bland de som uppmanat till deltagande finns ledaren för Kinas demokratirörelse Wei Jingsheng, avhoppade kinesiska diplomater, författare, forskare och hundratals förespråkare för demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter i Kina.
Bakgrunden till uppmaningen är att den kinesiska kommunistregimen agerat med upptrappat förtryck och våld mot många aktivister för mänskliga rättigheter. Medlemmar i SHRIC och andra med engagemang för de som utsätts för förtryck och förföljelse i Kina kommer att hungerstrejka under detta dygn. Läs pressmeddelandet

Händelseutvecklingen

För att följa utvecklingen av hungerstrejkerna kan vi rekommendera The Epoch Times bevakning. Tidningen ger en plattform för att informera om advokat Gao Zhisheng och hungerstrejkerna i Kina och omvärlden, under features i vänsterkolumnen.

SHRIC har översatt några artiklar till svenska, bland annat "Uttalande av 'Stafetthungerstrejk-kommittén', 6 februari 2006 i Kina" kan läsas här.

Stafetthungerstrejken för mänskliga rättigheter har mött kraftigt motstånd från det kinesiska kommunistpartiet. Flera av advokat Gao Zhishengs medarbetare - vars strävan efter rättvisa gav upphov till att stafetthungerstrejken inleddes - har antingen bortrövats av myndigheterna eller satts i husarrest. Enligt Asia Weekly har fram tills den 17 februari 72 organisationer och över 4000 personer skrivit på en petition på webbplatsen http://jueshi.org - som inrättats av frivilliga som stöd åt The Relay Hunger Strike for Human Rights - i support för de hungerstrejkande, och 800 hade skrivit på för att själva deltaga.

Zhisheng själv säger "Jag hade helst sluppit allt det här, men det finns kanske tre möjligheter, död eller fängelse, eller en snabb förändring som gör att både jag och hela Kinas befolkning får de rättigheter vi borde ha." http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789,786797,00.html

2006-02-27 The Lawyer UK: Japan and Singapore go Western:
Gao Zhisheng, who has a similar reputation in China to UK lawyers such as Shami Chakrabarti or Clive Stafford Smith, had the operations of his law firm, Shengzhi Law Office, suspended for a year by the Chinese authorities in November 2005. According to Amnesty International, Gao claims police officers and military personnel made an attempt on his life while he was driving his car on 17 January. http://www.thelawyer.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=118988&d=122&h=24&f=46

2006-02-27 DN: Kinesisk advokat vägrar tiga: PEKING. Minst åtta civilklädda säkerhetsmän, ibland uppemot trettio stycken, övervakar sedan tre månader den 41-årige advokaten Gao Zhisheng och hans familj i Peking. Han har skrivit tre öppna brev till Kinas högsta ledning och kritiserat kommunistpartiet för brott mot mänskliga rättigheter, de rättigheter som uttrycks i den kinesiska grundlagen men som inte efterlevs. http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp..

2006-02-24 2008-FreeTibet.org: Support for the hunger strike: "The hunger strike is attracting a lot of attention and support in Italy. Several TV crews showed up and did interviews and reports about the protest. On the weblog of Beppo Grillo, an italian actor, over 1000 people made comments about the hunger strike. More than 200 people signed the petition mail to Jacques Rogge in the past 12 hrs." Denna aktion är ev. fristående från stafetthungerstrejkskampanjen.

However, like the majority of innocent people in China, they are not immune to the barbarity of a public authority that has gone completely roguish.
