The U.S. Department of State recently released the 2012
Human Rights Reports on China. (The Report).
The Report states that the human rights situation in China is
still one of the poorest, and continues to deteriorate last year.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to
repress and detain groups of people.
These include human rights activists and lawyers,
Falun Gong practitioners, Christians and petitioners.
The Report lists a large number of cases, including
the case of Gao Zhisheng and grassroots human rights lawyers.
The Report also mentions live organ harvesting and
the use of mental hospitals to detain dissidents.

The Report states that China is a one-party authoritarian
state controlled by the CCP.
China's highest power belongs to the 25 members and
the seven standing committee members of Political Bureau.
The CCP takes almost all senior government
and security agencies posts.

The report says, as always, Chinese citizens
don't have right to change the government.

After last year, The Report mentioned once again
forced organ harvesting of prisoners.

The Report states that the CCP adopts illegal measures to stop
political activists and lawyers publicly express their opinions.
They go missing, get detention and
go under strict house arrest.

The Report indicates the CCP authorities forbid
human rights lawyers to defend their clients.
The CCP suspends or dismisses the licenses of some lawyers,
to stop them from working on sensitive cases.
They cannot defend dissidents, family church activists,
Falun Gong practitioners or political criticizers.

The Report lists many cases.

In Chongqing City under Bo Xilai's rule, Beijing Lawyer
Li Zhuang was interrogated for three days and nights by the authorities.
He was also tied up to a torture chair.

Guangzhou Lawyer Tang Jingling was arrested and detained
for about ten days during his trip to investigate the death of Hunan Democracy Activist Li Wangyang.

Guangzhou Lawyer Tang Jingling: We were arrested
on 5th September, at Xinshao County of Shanyang, meeting witnesses
of the case.
The special agents may have tapped our phone.

So when we and the witnesses met up, they arrested me,
another person and two reporters from Ming Pao.
We did not sleep for a day and night during the detention.
They kept on questioning.
But I refused to talk about the case at all.

Tang Jingling expressed that it is hard for the Human Rights
Report released by the U.S. government to fully disclose all China's human rights abuse cases.
However, he is looking forward to foreign governments
paying more attention to China's human rights issues.

Tang Jingling: When I interact with some diplomats,
I repeatedly stress one point:
If they bravely raise the human rights issues, it will greatly
improve the human rights situation in China.
It will bring long-term and positive impact to
the future of these countries;
Diplomatic relations with democracy China,
security, peace, and even economic interests.
I believe there will be positive long-term impacts.

The Report also mentioned: Guangzhou street protestor
Xiao Yong and others were arrested and locked up for asking government officials to publish information on their assets.


Guangzhou protestor Huang Wenxun: Hu Jintao should
take the lead to announce his assets.
We ask for democracy, freedom, rule of law and equality.

But unfortunately all five of us - myself, Xiao Yong,
Yang Chong, Ou Ronggui were arrested on the second day.
We lost our freedom for one month.

After that Yang Chong and Xiao Yong went back
to their hometown.
Then they were charged and sentenced to labor education.

Huang Wenxun expressed his appreciation to the
U.S. government's attention.



Huang Wenxun: We hope more and more countries
pay attention to the human rights situation in China.
Especially with China under the CCP regime.

We hope international society continues to
condemn the CCP by disqualifying China as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

The Report reveals that many Chinese activists, petitioners
and Falun Gong practitioners are locked up in mental hospitals for so-called mental illness treatment due to political reasons.
From 1998 to 2010, more than 40,000 people have been sent
to the 24 mental hospitals, known as Ankang Hospitals.
These hospitals have high-security facilities and are
under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security.
