RUPTURE DES NOUVELLES |
La Chine - un mois est parti pour améliorer des droits de l'homme
Mardi 8 juillet 2008 Discutez ce rapport dans les forum de RINF > Un mois avant que l'ouverture de l'international d'amnistie de Jeux Olympiques ait aujourd'hui envoyé une lettre ouverte à Hu Jintao, président de la République populaire de Chine, l'invitant à livrer sur les promesses faites pour améliorer les droits de l'homme du pays. « Si la Chine peut mobiliser des milliers de personnes pour nettoyer des algues sur leurs plages pour les Jeux Olympiques, sûrement elle peut également nettoyer son disque de droits de l'homme pour fournir un legs positif de Jeux Olympiques pendant qu'elle promettait quand attribué les jeux, » dit Margaret Taylor, porte-parole international d'amnistie. La « Chine semble tristement toujours manquer de la volonté politique de livrer sur ces promesses, qui est pourquoi international d'amnistie a aujourd'hui invité Hu Jintao pour commettre aux recommandations suivantes, » dit Taylor. Cinq recommandations : La lettre ouverte aux dispositifs de Hu Jintao ci-dessous. –
Ouvrez la lettre à Hu Jintao Hu Jintao 8 juillet 2008 Avec un mois de restant jusqu'à ce que le début beaucoup-prévu de l'olympiade XXIX dans Pékin, je te demandent de prendre cinq mesures vers le « développement des droits de l'homme » mis en gage par le Comité d'offre de Jeux Olympiques de Pékin en 2001. Au-dessus de l'année dernière l'international d'amnistie a rassemblé des centaines de milliers de voix faisant écho de partout dans le monde cet appel. Je les joins en vous invitant à saisir cette occasion historique d'agir. International d'amnistie identifie les efforts du gouvernement chinois d'adresser quelques soucis de longue date de droits de l'homme. Je suis en particulier encouragé par le progrès apparent accompli en réduisant l'utilisation de la pénalité de mort par le processus suprême de revue de tribunal du peuple. 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
