Note by the editor on March 22, 2004,
We have learned the news that the USA is going to present a resolution condemning the Chinese government’s human rights record at the ongoing 60th United Nations’ Human Rights Commission. Human rights are the cornerstone of human civilization and democracy. I hope, whatever other differences there are, on the human rights issue the democratic Western governments should and will stand firm and together. This hope is what we expressed to Mr. Lorne Craner, the Assistant Secretary of State of the USA, last week during our meeting urging the USA to present this resolution. And this hope is also Mr. Wei’s message to our European friends on his recent two trips this year in Europe. Human rights in China are not just an issue for China, but also an issue for the world peace and human dignity.
So here is the first of the long overdue news.

Wei Jingsheng: A Letter of Appreciation to the Support of our Friends
Dear friends,
I want to express my sincere appreciation to you for your effort in supporting me and the Chinese human rights and democracy movement. Thanks in particular for responding to my personal appeal of two weeks ago.
As some of you already know, we finally got more than enough co-sponsors for Congressional bill HR 530 in support of Chinese human rights, and the US House has just passed the bill with an overwhelming majority of 402-2.
This resolution itself demonstrated a widespread concern for the Chinese human rights condition. Of course we have more to do, including seeing that a resolution about the Chinese human rights condition is presented at the upcoming 60th United Nations’ Human Rights Commission, and more…
We have much further to go, so I will stop short here and keep some “thank you” contents for your future support.
-- Wei

编者的话：
很抱歉，近来劳累过度，身体欠佳，基金会的新闻也未能及时发布。但今天正式得到有关美国将在联合国提出有关中国人权问题的消息，也算是对为这迟到的新闻所作的努力的鼓励罢。
不管欧美差别如何，他们人权的目标应该是一致的。这是上周我们与美国国务院助理国务卿克雷纳先生见面并督促美国政府在今年联合国人权年会中提出有关中国人权的谴责案时表述的，也是魏京生先生今年两次访问欧洲时提请西方民主政府注意的。

魏京生向帮助推动美国国会通过支持中国人权的530号议案的朋友们致谢
在此，我谨向支持中国人权与民主的朋友们，特别是两周前响应我的紧急呼吁并化时耗力推动美国众议院通过支持中国人权的530号法案的朋友们致谢。这个议案得到足够多的共同提案人，并以402票对2票的压倒性多数通过。
当然，我们的目标是在今年联合国人权年会上产生有关中国人权问题的提案，等等，以望对中国人权有实质性的推动及改善。相信我们还能做更多。
谢谢大家！
魏京生
