中国民主运动海外联席会议在联合国内举行有关中国人权的报告会

 

 

2004415日,中国民主运动海外联席会议在联合国内举行由跨国界激进党支持的有关中国人权报告会。跨国界激进党是一个在联合国注册的咨询性的非政府组织。该组织一向关注世界的和平与进步。长期以来坚定地支持中国人民的自由民主事业,尤其是中国民主运动的领袖魏京生先生。

 

这场由中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生先生率领的报告会由联席会议秘书长黄慈萍主持。达赖喇嘛的特使,祁卡帕先生(Chhime R. Chhoekyapa)也参加了会议。中国人民家喻户晓的西方记者斯诺先生的遗孀斯诺夫人(Lois Wheeler Snow)虽因病未能如期到会,但也向报告会及与会人员们致意。

 

张健,六四天安门民主运动的幸存者,感人地讲述了他1989年在天安门广场上被中国人民解放军开枪击中,残片至今未取出的十五年来的经过。他还展示了未能进入联合国大楼里的六四难属嘱托我们的有关信息与资料。

 

该报告会就一系列中国政府侵犯人权的方面进行了专题讲述。报告人则为来自世界各地的联席会议的代表。其中包括由联席会议丹麦负责人刘刚博士讲述中国政府的信息封锁,联席会议新西兰负责人潘晴先生谈有关中国工人及工人运动的现况,联席会议来自日本的亚洲负责人相林先生谈中国农民及农民工的苦难,联席会议来自法国的康小姐的专题是爱滋病在中国的蔓延,来自香港的罗小姐谈的是中国政府所实行的强制迁移,来自美国的陈师众博士的专题则是中国的宗教自由。

 

报告会还向听众们散发了其它的有关中国的人权状况及民主进程的资料。包括电台,电视,报纸在内的多家媒体从头至尾地报道了计时两小时的报告会及答问,并在其后进行了更多的采访。
