In the concerns of the China Support Network, Obama/Clinton/Huntsman/Posner ("OCHP") somewhat blur together. The common denominator is that they are the villains responsible for running present-day U.S. China policy, which is akin to its very own crime against humanity.
This used to be the China policy of George Herbert Walker Bush ("GHWB"), and then it was the Bill Clinton China policy, and then it was the George W. Bush China policy, and now it is the OCHP China policy. Bush, Clinton, and Bush set a very bad precedent, and now OCHP are carrying the same tune.
The China Support Network is for push back at Chinese Communism...

Av människorättsadvokaten David Matas
Practitioners of Falun Gong represent two-thirds of the Chinese torture victims and half the people in detention in re-education through labour camps. The documented yearly arbitrary killings and disappearances of Falun Gong exceed by far the totals for any other victim group. According to research that David Kilgour and I have done, set out in our book Bloody Harvest, practitioners have been killed in the tens of thousands since 2001 so that their organs could be sold to patients in need of transplants.

9/5: Epoch Times: Canada Relations with China: Analysis
It was supposed to be that engagement with China would help universal values like freedom and human rights to flourish in that country. You'd be forgiven for failing to find examples of Chinese leaders who, after meeting with their Western counterparts, came away touting the benefits of free elections, independent judges, or an end to arbitrary labour camp sentences without trial. Instead, it seems these days it's the Western officials who come away proclaiming they've changed their views. Take the case last week of Ottawa Mayor Larry O’Brien, who a month after returning from China withdrew his promised support for a proclamation recognizing an Ottawa spiritual group whose believers just happen to be persecuted by the communist authorities in China.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Ett motionsförslag som rekommenderar en offentlig hearing om organskörd i Kina, har lagts fram inom Europarådet:

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

Ordförande Petra Lindberg talade om kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter i Kina och att SHRIC stödjer advokat Gao Zhishengs hungerstrejk. Representanter från bland andra PEN-föreningen, Chinese Democratic Party och The Epoch Times talade. Lindberg läste upp Gao Zhishengs akututtalade om hungerstrejken från den 18 februari, och uppmanade alla NGO och alla välvilliga människor att stödja denna fredliga aktion i Kina. Läs mer

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.

"The high-profile Chinese defector, Chen Yonglin, has returned to the Chinese Consulate in Sydney to launch a new protest against the Chinese Government. Mr Chen left his post at the consulate last May and sought political asylum from the Australian Government. Mr Chen was granted a protection visa after claiming about 1,000 Chinese spies were active in Australia.

The former diplomat today joined with protesters outside the consulate building to announce a hunger strike aimed at increasing opposition to the Chinese Communist Party." http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200602/s1567196.htm
