H-0184/08
ORAL QUESTION for Question Time at the part-session in April 2008 pursuant to Rule 109 of the Rules of Procedure by Robert Evans to the Council

 Subject: Human rights in China
 Answer 

In early 2007, human rights activist Yang Chunlin was collecting signatures for a petition in China entitled 'We Want Human Rights, not the Olympics.' In July of that year he was arrested for ‘inciting subversion of state power’ and continues to be held in a detention facility in Jiamusi City.

Does the Council share my deep concern at the ongoing detention and treatment of Yang Chunlin? Does the Council agree with me that the imprisonment of human rights activists runs counter to the promises made by numerous Chinese officials in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics?
