自由之家和对华援助协会诚挚邀请您参加“中国人权挑战”的论坛

论坛举办地点:美国众议院迦南大楼210房间

       举办时间:2013年3月5日上午10:30 — 中午12点

3月5日是中国第十二界全国人大召开之日,共产党的领袖习近平届时将获得国家主席和军委的全部权力。在这次大会召开之前,中国的一些有影响力的异议人士和学者们签署了一封公开信,敦促政府施行政改,包括批准承认《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》。一方面,中国公民对不公正现象的批评和强调公民权利的声音与日俱增,但是另一方面,共产党却继续付诸于广泛的镇压手段来维持其政权。如今,中国人权所面临的主要挑战是什么?中国新领导将会带来怎样的变化?欧洲和美国怎样才能鼓励中国重视人权?

 

论坛开场发言人:


大卫·克莱默,自由之家的会长

国会议员克里斯·史密斯(新泽西州的众议员,担任非洲—全球健康和人权—国际组织分会的主席)
国会议员约珥裴次(宾夕法尼亚州的众议院)

Freedom House and ChinaAid cordially invite you to a discussion on

Human Rights Challenges in China

Tuesday, March 5, 2013

10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Room 210, Cannon House Office Building

Capitol Hill

March 5th marks the beginning of the 12th National People's Congress, where Communist Party leader Xi Jinping is expected to assume full power as President and head of the Central Military Commission. Ahead of the congress, influential activists and scholars have signed open letters urging the government to implement political reforms, including ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. While citizens in China are increasingly vocal in criticizing injustice and asserting their rights, the Communist Party continues to resort to extenstive repression to maintain its hold on power. What are the main challenges for human rights in China today? What are the prospects for change under China's new leaders? And how can Europe and the United States encourage greater respect for human rights in China?

Introductory Remarks By:

David J. Kramer, President of Freedom House

Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), Chairman of the Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organization Subcommittee

Congressman Joe Pitts (R-Pa.)

Featured Speakers:

Chen Guangcheng, 陈光诚,human rights activist

Geng He,耿和, wife of human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng

Commentary By:

Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice-President of the European Parliament responsible for Democracy and Human Rights
