中国确认“伊斯兰国”杀害中国人质 习近平强烈谴责 http://www.dw.com/zh/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E7%A1%AE%E8%AE%A4%E4%BC%8A%E6%96%AF%E5%85%B0%E5%9B%BD%E6%9D%80%E5%AE%B3%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E4%BA%BA%E8%B4%A8-%E4%B9%A0%E8%BF%91%E5%B9%B3%E5%BC%BA%E7%83%88%E8%B0%B4%E8%B4%A3/a-18861389中国外交部周四确认，此前“伊斯兰国”宣称杀害的中国人质，确系来自北京市的樊京辉。国家主席习近平强烈谴责这一事件，称恐怖分子在挑战人类文明底线。总理李克强则表示将加强中国公民以及机构的境外安保工作。 (德国之声中文网)中国国家主席习近平周四强烈谴责"伊斯兰国"杀害一名中国公民。他强调，"恐怖主义是人类公敌，中国坚决反对一切形式的恐怖主义，坚决打击任何挑战人类文明底线的暴恐犯罪活动。"他同时也对遇害者遗属表示慰问。 "伊斯兰国"在其周三发行的英文刊物中宣称杀死了一名中国和一名挪威人质，并刊出疑似显示两名男子尸体的照片。有文字说明称他们已被"执行处决"，但没有说明死者的具体身份。"伊斯兰国"还称，两名人质被他们的"异教徒国家"所抛弃，暗指没有收到赎金。美联社报道称，从照片看两人是被枪击致死的。 "伊斯兰国"在两个月前称劫持了两名人质，分别为48岁的挪威人Ole Johan Grimsgaard-Ofstad和50岁的中国人樊京辉。该组织同样在其宣传刊物上登出两人身穿橙色囚服的照片和一个电话号码，称愿意为人质支付赎金的人可以给这个号码打电话。挪威人质的家属曾向媒体披露，绑架者曾索要巨额赎金。 目前，中国外交部已经证实其中一名被害人质确系中国公民樊京辉。据中国媒体报道，樊京辉是北京市石景山居民，以自由职业者身份从事企业咨询工作。 挪威外交部长布伦德(Borge Brende)则对挪威公民遭到严重虐待一事表示谴责，并透露绑架者曾经向挪威当局寄送相关照片与视频以索要赎金。他还表示，将根据遇害者家属的意愿向公众披露一定的信息。 美联社报道称，周四，在樊京辉妻子供职的一所中学门前停放了一辆警车。学校门卫告诉美联社记者，樊京辉妻子当天没有进入她的办公室。樊京辉在北京的住所内也无人应答。 中国外交部发言人洪磊就伊斯兰国杀害中国人质事件发表谈话称，樊京辉被绑架后，中国政府和人民十分牵挂他的安危。中国政府有关部门第一时间启动应急机制，想方设法开展营救工作；但恐怖组织无视人类良知和道德底线，仍然采取惨无人道的暴力行径；中国政府对这一泯灭人性的暴行予以强烈谴责，一定要将犯罪分子绳之以法。 中国总理李克强也对外界表示，中国政府将加强中国公民以及机构的境外安保工作，并指示相关部门协助遇害者家属做好善后工作。 在叙利亚内战爆发后，绝大多数的中国公民据信已经离开了叙利亚。尽管中国未曾向内战中的叙利亚派遣任何飞机、舰艇或部队，但近年来中国越发展现出依靠军事实力保护其海外公民的意愿。2011年，中国曾经调遣飞机以及海军护卫舰前往利比亚，疏散了3.5名当地的中国公民。此后，中国还曾派遣海军编队前往也门，撤离这一战乱地区的中国以及其他外国公民。 虽然习近平就中国人质遇害作出了强硬表态，但是目前依然没有迹象表明，中国将会在叙利亚问题上转变其立场。北京方面一直表示，叙利亚人民需要寻求一政治解决方案。而在联合国安理会，中国已经多次与俄罗斯一起对叙利亚问题决议投出反对票。 |

Human rights[edit] Along with her acting and participation in pageants, Lin is known for her public position against human rights abuses in China, particularly against practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline. In 2012, she was one of eleven stakeholders selected to meet Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird upon the establishment of Canada's Office of Religious Freedom. Previously, Lin was one of ten Youth Leaders who met Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Bob Dechert to consult on the same issue.[5] Canadian television reports attributed her victory in the 2015 Miss World Pageant in part to her passion for human rights. Due to her activism, Chinese state security agents visited and threatened her father in China, attempting to have him sever all contact with her. "Shortly after my victory, my father started receiving threats from Chinese security agents complaining about my human rights advocacy," Lin wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post. "No doubt fearing for his livelihood and business, my father asked me to stop advocating for human rights. He told me that if I did not stop, we would have to go our separate ways."[6] In July 2015 Lin was invited to testify before U.S. Congress, addressing the topic of Religion With "Chinese Characteristics": Persecution and Control in Xi Jinping's China. Speaking before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, Lin said that the intimidation and threats her father received are common. "Good people like my father, a law abiding and contributing citizen, an honest businessman now too afraid to talk to his daughter, who once supported her in everything she did... now must leave her to face the world alone... Mr. Chairman, I hope you understand this is a common experience for so many American and Canadian citizens. Those Chinese who dare to speak their minds do so knowing that those still within the regime's reach in China could pay the price for it."[7] In subsequent interviews with media, Lin has spoken out on behalf of Falun Gong and other persecuted groups in China. And since being crowned Miss World Canada, she stopped receiving invitations to attend Chinese events held by community leaders with ties to the Chinese consulate in Toronto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasia_Lin |

'I Don't Represent a Threat of Any Kind' 2015-11-12 http://www.rfa.org/english/women/china-missworld-11122015104012.html Miss Canada Anastasia Lin testifies on China's human rights situation at a US Congressional hearing, July 23, 2015. When China hosts the 65th Miss World beauty contest starting on Nov. 21 on the island province of Hainan, one of the contestants will likely be missing from the line-up. Anastasia Lin, currently Miss Canada, has apparently been denied a visa by the ruling Chinese Communist Party after she spoke out publicly about the persecution of fellow members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement, which Beijing has designated an "evil cult." Lin, who was born in China but is now a Canadian citizen, and whose China-based father has been visited by the state security police, told RFA's Cantonese Service that her visa application has stalled: They need a letter of invitation if you are applying for a visa, and Miss World issued one from their London headquarters. But when I went to apply for the visa they told me that this didn't count, and that I had to get an invitation letter from inside China, from the event's organizers there. I asked Miss World to request this from China for me, because I wasn't the only person having this problem; they all were. I was just the first person to ask them. But all of the other contestants have now received their invitation letters from China. They got them on Oct. 30. Now it's Nov. 10, and I haven't heard anything at all from them. I was looking at photos of the letters that the other contestants sent to me, and it says that the issuing department is the Sanya Municipal Foreign Affairs Bureau, so it's definitely the government's doing. What this means is that the Chinese government hasn't issued me an invitation. There are still 10 days to go, so we haven't given up hope yet. Miss World understands that I did a few things with the intention of helping some people out. I hope they will understand that was the whole reason I took part in this contest in the first place. Maybe they'll move the contest if the Chinese government doesn't give me a visa. I am 25 years old, and I just graduated from college. I don't represent a threat of any kind to them. I just wanted to speak out on behalf of some Chinese people. I think that it would show the world how international they've become if they allowed me to go.  |

....
No, I'm asking YOU. And you don't know what I know or don't know. Maybe I should be making demands for you to read.
Also, are you in Falong? Just curious.
i am not falungong member, but i know their story from very original, the case in 1999 in my home town in my university i know chinese politics much better and much more than you, no need discuss on this , baby I happen to know a lot about cults, though. Whether you know more than me about chinese politics would be something you don't know. Regardless, I take a dim view of people that act authoritative and knowledgeable on the internet, but who don't answer actual, and often simple questions. So would you like demands from me that you read something? i am sorry, your argument or comment or question are far away from the topic of the thread, sorry again, no need to answer |

Senior U.S. Congressional delegation makes rare Tibet trip Reuters November 12, 2015 9:51 PM http://news.yahoo.com/senior-u-congressional-delegation-makes-rare-tibet-trip-025119361.htmlBEIJING (Reuters) - A top Chinese leader on Thursday said China allowed a visit to Tibet by a senior U.S. Congressional delegation, including Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, a long time critic of China's human rights record in the region. China has ruled Tibet with an iron fist since 1950, when it was "peacefully liberated" by troops of the People's Liberation Army, and trips there by Western reporters and political figures are rare. Meeting Pelosi in Beijing's Great Hall of the People, Zhang Dejiang, the head of China's largely rubber-stamp parliament, the National People's Congress, said he was pleased to see her looking well. "Madame Pelosi, you have been to Tibet," said Zhang, the third-ranked Communist Party leader. "I was concerned about your health. I can see there is nothing wrong with your health. This shows your health is very good. I want to first hear your impressions of your visit to Tibet." Pelosi responded that she had shared some views on Tibet at an earlier meeting, and hoped "some of that conversation will be useful as we try to talk about some other subjects as well". View galleryU.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi smiles during … U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (2nd L) smiles during a bilateral meeting with Zhang Ping, V … In front of reporters, she made no other comments about the visit, which had not been officially announced ahead of time. The official Tibet Daily said Pelosi praised the huge changes that had taken place in Tibet and the hard work of the Chinese government in protecting religious freedom and cultural traditions. Asked about the newspaper report, Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said: "The only thing we have been confirming is that they were in Lhasa from Monday through Wednesday. We have not offered any characterization of the trip whatsoever". The report also cited Chen Quanguo, Tibet's Communist Party boss, as saying he hoped the United States would not support any separatist activities or allow the Dalai Lama to visit. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei described the visit as "a normal exchange between the U.S. and Chinese legislatures". Rights groups and exiles say China tramples on the cultural and religious rights of Tibet's Buddhist people. China strongly denies the charges and says it has brought much needed development to what was a backward region. Pelosi has regularly spoken out about human rights issues in Tibet and has met the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, whom Beijing reviles as a violent separatist. The Dalai Lama says he simply wants real autonomy for Tibet. Jim McGovern, chairman of a Congress Human Rights Commission, accompanied Pelosi in the delegation.

据美联社报道，IS宣称杀害中国和挪威人质。 IS于9月9日声称扣押了一名中国人质“FAN JINGHUI”和一名挪威籍男子，并索要赎金。挪威官方已确认该国男子在叙利亚被捕，中国官方未发布消息。

泰国警方日前强行遣返中国异议人士姜野飞、董广平、香港书商桂民海等五人到中国，其中至少两人已被联合国难民署确认为难民。这是中共自境外绑架王炳章、彭明后的第三起大型抓捕境外反共人士的行动，值得引起境外（包括港台）大陆反共人士警惕。我们应该呼吁联合国与所在国注意境外反共人士的人身安全！

Calls Grow to Free Tortured Rights Lawyer Ahead of U.N. Review 2015-11-12 http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/china-gao-11122015124454.html Dissident rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, who remains under house arrest since his release from prison in August 2014, has been denied permission by the Chinese police to see a dentist for treatment after losing teeth to torture -- for reasons of 'national security.' Gao was prevented earlier this week from traveling to Xi'an, provincial capital of the northern province of Shaanxi, by Chinese state security police, burst into his cave-home on Tuesday, the founder of Christian rights website ChinaAid, Bob Fu, told RFA. "On Nov. 10, three state security police officers burst into Gao's cave to threaten him," Fu said. "The point of this was to stop him from leaving the area [and traveling to Xi'an]." "It seems that even his teeth are a matter of national security after all that torture he went through," Fu said. "I would like to call on the Chinese government to grant Gao his full liberty and allow him to return to his home in Beijing, and to seek medical treatment." In a Nov. 3 letter to Fu, Gao had said he needed urgent dental treatment owing to damage caused by torture in 2009. "If teeth have emotions, then being my teeth is really unbearable," Gao wrote, in an English translation of the letter posted on the ChinaAid website. "Especially in 2009, these teeth experienced surprising and startling pain. When I was secretly jailed at a military site, I was tortured by the same group of men who carried out my torture in September 2007," he said. Repeated beatings During that time, Gao was handcuffed and a black hood placed over his head, before being repeatedly beaten. "At that time, my body could no longer feel pain," he wrote to Fu. "My awareness was also fuzzy and too much to bear, but I still remember hot mucus flowing out from my mouth. The pain my teeth were subjected to was great." Gao has remained defiant, however, hitting out at the ruling Chinese Communist Party's treatment of him in a Nov. 10 letter translated and posted on the rights website ChinaChange.org. "Despite all that has passed, I exist—this is a fact," he wrote. "Not only that, but at the current time I have neither the ability nor the wish to change this fact." "Right now, the big problem staring at you in the face is this: there is just no way to get rid of me—you’ve come to realize this, too, through ten years of trying to," the letter said. Gao, who has spent much of his time reading since his release from jail last year, is still denied any freedom of movement, and has been warned by local authorities in a number of places not to try settling there, he said. He said there appeared to be no good reason for a recent raid on his home. "The most absurd part of it all was when I snapped 'What are you doing here?' and those three big men had nothing to say for themselves. They didn’t actually know the point of their intrusion into my home," Gao wrote. "'I’ll go and ask the leader,' one of them said, running outside to make a phone call." Gao said the police were apparently acting on orders from Beijing, rather than their own initiative. Gao's letters come ahead of an appraisal by the United Nations Committee against Torture of China’s implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, scheduled for Nov. 17-18. The Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) network, which compiles and translates reports from groups inside China, this week accused Beijing of a systematic failure to prevent torture. "In China, torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and punishment remain persistent and widespread," the group said in a statement. Torture still common In a detailed report to the U.N., CHRD said that investigation and criminal prosecution of torture suspects is rare, and victims seeking compensation can face official reprisals. Based on more than 2,300 cases dating from January 2012 to June 30, the report found that torture and other forms of mistreatment "are especially common in cases involving individuals whose views, speech, religious beliefs, or rights defense work are deemed threatening by the Chinese Communist Party." Once a prominent lawyer lauded by the Communist Party, Gao began to be targeted by the authorities after he defended some of China's most vulnerable people, including Christians, coal miners and followers of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement. In 2006, Beijing authorities arrested Gao and handed him a three-year jail term for "inciting subversion" that was later suspended for five years. But during the following five years, Gao had repeatedly suffered forced disappearances and torture. He is currently under 24-hour surveillance by state security police after spending a year at the home of his wife's parents in the northwestern region of Xinjiang. Gao's wife Geng He fled China with the couple's two children after her husband "disappeared" for more than a year, arriving in the United States with the couple's two children in 2009.

610 Office From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Central Leading Group on Dealing with the Falun Gong Agency overview Formed June 1999 Jurisdiction China Headquarters Beijing Agency executive Liu Jinguo, Director of the Office (2012-2015) Parent agency Central Committee of the Communist Party of China[1] The 610 Office is a security agency in the People's Republic of China. Named for the date of its creation on June 10, 1999,[2] it was established for the purpose of coordinating and executing the persecution of Falun Gong.[1] Because it is a Communist Party-led office with no formal legal mandate, it is sometimes described as an extralegal organisation.[1][3] The 610 Office is the implementation arm of the Central Leading Group on Dealing with the Falun Gong (CLGDF),[4] also known as the Central Leading Group on Dealing with Heretical Religions.[1] The central 610 Office has traditionally been headed by a high-ranking member of the Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee, and it frequently directs other state and party organs in the anti-Falun Gong campaign.[1][4] It is closely associated with the powerful Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the Communist Party of China. Local 610 Offices are also established at provincial, district, municipal and neighborhood levels, and are estimated to number approximately 1,000 across the country.[5] The main functions of the 610 Offices include coordinating anti-Falun Gong propaganda, surveillance and intelligence collection, and the punishment and "reeducation" of Falun Gong adherents.[1][6][7] The office is reportedly involved in the extrajudicial sentencing, coercive reeducation, torture, and sometimes death of Falun Gong practitioners.[1][7] Since 2003, the 610 Office's mission has been expanded to include targeting other religious and qigong groups deemed heretical or harmful by the Communist Party (CCP), though Falun Gong remains its main priority.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/610_Office |
