China - un mes se fue para mejorar derechos humanos
Martes 8 de julio de 2008 Discuta este informe en los foros de RINF > Un mes antes de que la abertura del Amnistía Internacional de las Olimpiadas haya enviado hoy una letra abierta a Hu Jintao, presidente de la República Popular de China, impulsándolo entregar en las promesas hechas para mejorar los derechos humanos del país. “Si China puede movilizar a millares de gente para limpiar encima de algas en sus playas para las Olimpiadas, puede también limpiar seguramente encima de su expediente de los derechos humanos para proporcionar una herencia positiva de las Olimpiadas mientras que prometió cuándo estaba concedida los juegos,” dice a Margaret Taylor, portavoz de la Amnistía Internacional. “China todavía aparece tristemente carecer la voluntad política de entregar en esas promesas, que es porqué Amnistía Internacional ha invitado hoy Hu Jintao para confiar a las recomendaciones siguientes,” dice a Taylor. Cinco recomendaciones: La letra abierta a las características de Hu Jintao abajo. –
Abra la letra en Hu Jintao Hu Jintao 8 de julio de 2008 Con un mes de restante hasta que el comienzo mucho-anticipado de la olimpíada XXIX en Beijing, yo pide que usted tome cinco medidas hacia el “desarrollo de los derechos humanos” prometidos por el comité de la oferta de las Olimpiadas de Beijing en 2001. Sobre año pasado el Amnistía Internacional ha recogido centenares de millares de voces de alrededor del mundo que repetían esta llamada. Los ensamblo en la impulsión de usted tomar esta oportunidad histórica de actuar. Amnistía Internacional reconoce los esfuerzos del gobierno chino de tratar algunas preocupaciones de muchos años de los derechos humanos. El progreso evidente me animo particularmente hecho en la reducción del uso de la pena de muerte con el proceso supremo de la revisión de la corte de gente. 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
