La Cina - un mese lasciato per migliorare i diritti dell'uomo
Martedì 8 luglio 2008 Discuta questo rapporto nelle tribune di RINF > Un mese prima che l'apertura dell'internazionale di amnistia di Olimpiadi oggi trasmetta una lettera aperta a Hu Jintao, presidente della Repubblica popolare cinese, invitante lo a trasportare sulle promesse fatte per migliorare i diritti dell'uomo del paese. “Se la Cina può mobilise i migliaia della gente per pulire le alghe sulle loro spiagge in tempo per le Olimpiadi, certamente può anche pulire la relativa annotazione di diritti dell'uomo per fornire un'eredità positiva di Olimpiadi mentre ha promesso quando assegnato i giochi,„ dice Margaret Taylor, spokesperson internazionale di amnistia. “La Cina ancora sembra tristemente difettare del politico politica trasportare su quelle promesse, che è perchè internazionale di amnistia oggi ha invitato Hu Jintao per commettere alle seguenti raccomandazioni,„ dice Taylor. Cinque raccomandazioni: La lettera aperta alle caratteristiche di Hu Jintao qui sotto. –
Apra la lettera a Hu Jintao Hu Jintao 8 luglio 2008 Con restante un mese fino a che l'inizio molto-anticipato dell'olimpiade XXIX in Beijing, io gli non chieda di prendere cinque misure verso “lo sviluppo dei diritti dell'uomo„ impegnati dal comitato di offerta di Olimpiadi di Beijing in 2001. Sopra l'anno scorso l'internazionale di amnistia ha raccolto le centinaia delle migliaia delle voci intorno al mondo che echeggia questa chiamata. Li unisco nell'invitarli a cogliere questa opportunità storica comportarmi. Internazionale di amnistia riconosce gli sforzi cinesi del governo richiamare alcune preoccupazioni di vecchia data di diritti dell'uomo. Sono consigliato a specialmente tramite i progressi apparenti realizzare nella riduzione dell'uso della pena di morte con il processo supremo di revisione della corte della 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
