China - ein Monat überlassen, um menschliche Rechte zu verbessern
Dienstag, den 8. Juli 2008 Ein Monat, bevor die öffnung vom Olympics-Amnestie-internationalen heute Hu Jintao einen geöffneten Brief geschickt hat, Präsident der Volksrepublik China, ihn drängend, auf die Versprechungen zu liefern gebildet, um die menschlichen Rechte des Landes zu verbessern. „Wenn China mobilise Tausende von Leuten, um herauf Algen auf ihren Stränden rechtzeig zu den Olympics zu säubern kann, sicher kann es herauf seine Aufzeichnung der menschlichen Rechte auch säubern, um ein positives Olympicsvermächtnis zur Verfügung zu stellen, während es versprach, als zugesprochen die Spiele,“, sagt Margaret Taylor, internationaler Sprecher der Amnestie. „China traurig scheint noch, den politischen Willen zu ermangeln, auf jene Versprechungen zu liefern, der ist, warum Amnestie-internationales heute um Hu Jintao ersucht hat, um an den folgenden Empfehlungen festzulegen,“ sagt Taylor. Fünf Empfehlungen: Der geöffnete Buchstabe Hu Jintao zu den Eigenschaften unten. –
Öffnen Sie Brief zu Hu Jintao Hu Jintao 8. Juli 2008 Mit einem Monat restlich, bis der viel-vorweggenommene Anfang der Olympiade XXIX in Beijing, ich Sie bitten, fünf Schritte in Richtung zur „Entwicklung der menschlichen Rechte“ zu unternehmen, die vom Beijing Olympics-Angebot-Ausschuß 2001 versprochen werden. Über letztem Jahr hat das Amnestie-internationales Hunderte Tausenden Stimmen um von der Welt gesammelt, die diesen Anruf widerhallt. Ich verbinde sie, wenn ich Sie dränge, diese historische Gelegenheit wahrzunehmen zu fungieren. Amnestie-internationales erkennt die chinesischen Bemühungen der Regierung, etwas althergebrachte Interessen der menschlichen Rechte zu adressieren. Ich werde besonders durch den offensichtlichen Fortschritt angeregt, der wenn man den Gebrauch von der Todesstrafe durch den Obersten Volksgericht Berichtprozeß gebildet wird, verringert. I also appreciate recent statements by a number of Chinese officials, including Chief Justice Xiao Yang, that China is following the global trend towards abolishing the death penalty. Amnesty International also welcomes the news that 1,157 people held in connection with the protests in Tibetan-populated areas of China last March have been released. The official commitment to “full media freedom” and regulations for foreign journalists represents another step towards realising greater freedom of expression for journalists. These developments notwithstanding, the preparation for the Olympics has actually had a negative impact in some areas of human rights. Official persecution of human rights activists continues, particularly those making connections between ongoing human rights violations and China’s hosting of the Olympics, including Ye Guozhu, Hu Jia and Yang Chunlin who are serving prison sentences solely for having expressed their views peacefully. The “clean-up” of Beijing through the extended use of Re-education Through Labour is a worrying development, particularly as it ignores domestic calls for reform of this arbitrary system of detention. Amnesty International calls on you to grasp the opportunity of the Olympic Games to implement the following five recommendations—supported by many inside and outside China—before the Games begin: * Release all prisoners of conscience - including Ye Guozhu, Hu Jia, Yang Chunlin and any others detained in connection with the hosting of the Olympics solely for expressing their views peacefully; * Prevent the police from arbitrarily detaining petitioners, human rights activists and others as part of a pre-Olympics “clean-up”; * Publish full national statistics on the death penalty, commit to a reduction in the number of capital crimes – especially those for non-violent offences – and introduce a moratorium on executions in line with UN General Assembly resolution 62/149 adopted on 18 December 2007; * Allow full access and freedom of reporting for both Chinese and international journalists in all parts of China in line with promises of “complete media freedom” in the run-up to the Games; * Account for all those killed or detained in the wake of the March 2008 protests in Tibet, particularly 116 people officially acknowledged to still be in custody, and ensure that those detained for their involvement in peaceful protests are released and that others receive a fair trial. I believe that delivering on these five points will go a long way towards the Games being remembered not only for positive achievements on the sports field but in the field of human rights as well.

One month to do what? To recognize that the first human right is the right to live?
Each year, 1,710,000 baby girls disappear in China. This major human rights abuse seems to be an accepted travesty as no one speaks of this horrific gendercide (the singling out of baby girls for death).
By the time population growth in China will reach a plateau, 133 million females would have been “missed” since infancy!!!!
For a more comprehensive analysis of infanticide in China, please view my presentation for the U.N. last year, accessed from the left bar on my home page at http://www.TaliaCarner.com
