Stop Chinese Authorities from Killing Peaceful Tibetan Protestors
Protestors advocating a free Tibet in western China were fired upon with live ammunition recently, leaving an estimated 30 to 50 wounded and one to six dead. This is not the first time Chinese security forces have used lethal force on protestors, as less than a week before two people were shot and wounded. Help end the use of lethal force as a response to civil unrest in China.
China’s Demand For Pangolins Has Poachers Smuggling Them By The Thousand
Due to poaching, pangolins are a severely endangered animal in Southeast Asia. They are hunted for their scales which are widely used in traditional medicine, and their meat which is a popular choice at restaurants. Tell the wildlife agency ASEAN-WEN to help decrease China’s high demand for Pangolins and to monitor poachers who have hunted all of Southeast Asia’s Pangolins, and are now killing them throughout Asia and in Africa as well.
Stop the Farming, Torture and Slaughter of Saint Bernards for Human Consumption in China
The importation, farming and slaughter of Saint Bernards in China must be stopped by banning the human consumption of dog meat. The Food and Agriculture Administration needs to add dogs to the list of banned foods and individual countries must stop exporting dogs to China in order to save these saintly animals.
Poodle Shot Dead at Chinese Airport
When Ge Ge the poodle escaped from her cage and onto the runway at Meilan International Airport, security officials decided that her life wasn’t worth delayed flights. They shot and killed her and when pressed for information by her owner, only released 15 seconds worth of security footage. Ask the head of Meilan Airport to formally apologize for the callous actions of airport security and come up with a better plan for future events that respects both human and animal life.
Support Chinese Villagers’ Struggle Against State Violence and Corruption
A small fishing village in southern China has been resisting the intrusion of the central government in Beijing and has taken the reins of government into their own hands. Now, after their leader was killed in police custody, they are preparing to continue their resistance, by armed revolt if necessary. Support their daring resistance to corruption and state violence and sign the petition.
Urge China to Release Imprisoned Nobel Laureate Liu Xiaobo
Liu Xiaobo, Chinese political activist, was arrested in 2008 and sentenced to 11 years in prison on subversion charges. However, Liu was guilty only of free speech and peaceful assembly, human rights entitled to us all. Ask China to release this Nobel Prize winner and political prisoner to move towards a Chinese future endowed with a higher respect for the rights of its people.
Tell China To Amend Child Rape Laws And Protect Children From Corrupt Officials
Earlier this year, four government Chinese Communist Party officials gang raped a 12-year-old school girl. Rather than being charged with child rape, they were charged with a crime of a much lesser punishment, “prostituting an underage girl.” China must amend its laws to be inclusive, in order to prevent government officials from using the minor differentiations as a loophole for sexual abuse.
Stop Labor Abuse in Chinese-Owned Zambian Copper Mines
The China Non-Ferrous Metal Mining Company runs four copper mining companies in Zambia, persistently flouting labor regulations designed to protect worker safety and the right to organize in the corporation’s pursuit of $1 billion profits. End Chinese labor abuses and improve Zambian regulation of the copper mining industry.
Pass Chinese “Good Samaritan” Laws to Protect Justice
2-year-old Xiao Yueyue died early Friday morning a week-long coma. Run over by two vehicles and ignored by at least 18 bystanders, Yueyue was finally rescued after seven minutes. Chinese laws must protect Good Samaritans from specious lawsuits, rather than punishing bystanders who lend a helping hand.
China’s Proposition For Secret Detention Deters Basic Human Rights
This proposed legislation that allows officials to secretly detain criminal suspects for up to six months in an undisclosed location is an infringement on basic human rights and is contradictory to International law.
Contaminated Asian Honey Hits American Groceries Yet The FDA Remains Blameless
Contaminated honey from Asian countries is becoming more prevalent in American groceries. From lead to illegal animal antibiotics this honey is not safe for children or adults to consume. By enacting the Food Safety Modernization Act and working with ethical honey brokers and manufacturers, the influx and sale of this honey may be alleviated or stopped altogether.
