China Regime Detains Human Rights Activists Ahead of Tiananmen Massacre Commemoration

Wednesday, June 1st, 2016

(HKFP) At least three activist (pictured here) have been arrested  in Beijing ahead of the 27th anniversary of the 04 June, 1989 Tiananmen Massacre commemoration meeting that took place in the home of Human Rights activist Zhao Changqing

According to Chinese Human Rights Activist Liu Xuehong she was video chatting with Xu Caihong, when authorities showed up at Xu’s home at 1:30 AM Liu said the call was cut off and she couldn’t reach Xu subsequently — Likewise Zhao Changqing, Zhang Baocheng were also ‘detained’ (arrested) about 7:00 AM Tuesday, according to Zhou Fengsuo, co-founder of ‘Humanitarian China’ based in San Francisco

Zhao was recently released from prison and is a survivor of the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre – Zhang is a member of the ‘New Citizen Movement’ a Civil Rights organization in China — Zhou told HKFP that “it’s hard to predict (what the China Regime might do) because Zhao Changqing in particular is a veteran and he was release  not to long ago but this can be very serious for him and Zhang Baocheng.”

Chinese Human Rights Activists Praying“This is their basic right, they (were) just having a private meeting…likely a Bible study. They were praying together, just a private event in Zhao Changqing’s home,” Zhou has called for the release of the three.

The China Regime has been cracking down on activities related to the 27th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

According to the NY Times on Monday, Fu Hailu was recently arrested by authorities in Chengdu, Sichuan Province on Sunday, for ‘inciting subversion of state power’ for sharing photos of liquor bottles labeled to mark the day that soldiers squashed pro-democracy activities at Tiananmen Square, nearly three decades ago.

Tiananmen Commemoration BeverageFu’s wife Liu Tianyan said by phone on Monday, that she wasn’t sure whether her husband even had anything to do with the images posted displaying the two liquor bottles, featuring an iconic image of public defiance of the armed 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising.

China Oppression of Human Rights Lawyers and Activists Continues – Accused of Abusing Legal Process

(HRIC) Throughout the mass crackdown on Human Rights lawyers and defenders, China regime authorities have abused the legal process and have viciously attacked individuals and professional organizations, yet courageous individuals are continuing to speak out and countering the onslaught of official propaganda.

On the 02 January I wrote here about 23 Journalists and 84 Netizens/Bloggers arrested or imprisoned in China — On the 24 September, I wrote here about China regime crackdown on lawyers and human rights defenders.

Radio Free Asia reported on Friday, the relatives and defense lawyers of 19 Human Rights lawyers currently facing subversion charges have written to Beijing calling for an independent inquiry into breaches of legal process in handling their cases.

“The relevant authorities have brought charges such as ‘incitement to subvert state power’ against them in situations where there has been no breach of the law,” the letter signed by more than 140 lawyers and relatives.

China regime has prevented them from seeing their lawyers and family members the letter stated.

On Monday, South China Morning Post reported that the China regime hit back at the United States on human rights, making frivolous claims that Washington has done everything from promoting ISIS to being a racist plutocracy.

Jerome A. Cohen, Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, on the 08 February, published comments from China Human Rights Attorney Chen Yu-Jie following her experience with China authorities rejection of her lawyer-client conference in recent cases related to the oppression of lawyers and other human rights advocates.
