台灣公民社會抗議英國踐踏人權聲明

The statement on British government’s abuse on human rights from Taiwan civil society

中國國家主席習近平近日訪問英國,英國政府給予極高規格接待,但對習近平上台後嚴重惡化的中國人權情況卻沒有表示足夠的關切。更有甚者,旅英中國異議人士邵江和另兩位圖博人士索朗秋登、江白拉莫以和平方式表達抗議,竟遭英國當局粗暴對待,不僅加以逮捕,還搜查他的住家,把和平維權人士當作恐怖主義分子對待。

英國政府對待追求民主的中國民間人士如此粗暴,對待關押諾貝爾和平獎得主劉曉波的人權侵犯者卻卑躬屈膝,不但違悖英國自由民主的光榮傳統,更是對普世價值的無情踐踏,足令英國蒙羞。

對於卡梅倫政府這種「只重經濟,不顧人權」的行徑,我們甚感義憤,必須表達我們的抗議。我們要求英國政府向邵江、索朗秋登和江白拉莫致歉,並對中國人權問題做出更有力的回應。

[ ENGLISH ]

The British government has provide a high-level welcome to Xi jinping, the president of China. However, they haven’t paid enough concern over the deteriorating human rights condition in China after Xi has stepped on the position. Moreover, When the Chinese dissident and Tiananmen activist Shao Jiang, who’s currently based in UK, executed his own right to peacefully protest, he got arrested along with other two Tibetan peaceful protesters, Sonam Choden and Jamphel Lhamo, and even had his home searched by the British authority. The British government treated him not as a peaceful protester, but a dangerous terrorist.
The British government is acting obsequiously to the human rights abuser who imprisoned the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, while oppressing the Chinese people who is striving for democracy. This is not only totally contradictory to the glorious tradition of Freedom and Democracy in the United Kingdom, but also humiliating on the Universal values. This is a real shame on the country.
We are revolting against such behaviour of the Cameron government which concerns only on the material benefits but easily give up the precious values of human rights. Therefore, we are showing our huge objection to the British government, and demanding the below: 1. The British government shall apologize to Shao Jiang, Sonam Choden and Jamphel Lhamo according to their violation and disrespect on his rights. 2. The British government shall have a stronger appeal on the Chinese human rights issues.
