Press
Conference Set for Thursday
Alarm
Sets in Over Secretary Clinton's Abandonment of China Human Rights
WASHINGTON,
D.C. - Former Chinese political prisoners Wei Jingsheng, Harry Wu, Bob Fu and
Rebiya Kadeer, as well as Sharon Hom, executive director of Human Rights in
China and other Chinese human rights activists, will join Congressman Chris
Smith (NJ-4th), GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (IN-6th),Congressmen Frank
Wolf (VA-10th) and Joe Pitts (PA-16th) leading human rights advocates in
Congress, at a press conference Thursday regarding U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton's controversial remarks over the past week indicating a retreat
on the priority of human rights issues in U.S.-China relations.
Traveling
in China last weekend, Clinton met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and other
leaders, while failing to meet with dissidents during her stay. She was
criticized by human rights groups for publically announcing that U.S. concerns
about human rights abuses in China must not interfere with cooperation on
financial crisis, global warming and other issues.
Who: Congressmen Chris Smith, Mike
Pence, Frank Wolf, Joe Pitts
When: Thursday, Feb. 26 @ 11 a.m.
Where:
Cannon House Office Building Terrace
(corner of Independence and New Jersey)
"Unfortunately
we saw some huge mistakes during the President Clinton's Administration... .
Generally, people expected you to make a correction in this important
historical mistake after you became Secretary of State and to re-emphasize the
human right's issue in China.
However, from what you said and did during your visit to China this
time, it was not the case. Using the words of the Chinese government's internet
agents, human rights diplomacy of the USA has come to its end."
-Wei Jingsheng, former Chinese political prisoner and Chair of the
Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, in a Feb. 21, 2009 letter to Secretary
Clinton.

above is a news release from the US House of Representatives.)

美国国会的新闻发布会将就美国国务卿希拉里﹒克林顿放弃中国人权发出警报
（魏京生基金会及中国民主运动海外联席会议感谢美国国会议员斯密斯安排这次活动并亲自打电话邀请我们参加。以下为美国众议院新闻发布稿全文。）

2009年2月26日星期四的新闻发布会将就美国国务卿希拉里﹒克林顿(Hillary
Clinton)放弃中国人权发出警报
华盛顿消息 - 前中国政治犯魏京生、吴弘达、傅希秋、热比娅及中国人权执行长谭竞嫦以及其他中国人权活动家们将参加美国众议院克里斯﹒斯密斯（Chris
Smith (NJ-4th)）、美国共和党会议主席麦克﹒潘斯（Mike Pence (IN-6th)）,美国国会议员沃尔夫（Frank Wolf (VA-10th)）及皮芝（Joe
Pitts (PA-16th)）这些人权领袖在星期四就美国国务卿希拉里﹒克林顿上周有争议的讲话举行的新闻发布会。克林顿国务卿在她的讲话中表示会在美中关系上将曾享有优先权的人权问题推后。
在上周末去中国时，克林顿与中国总统胡锦涛及其他领导人见面，但在滞留期间却没有与持异见者会面。人权组织批评了她在公开场合宣布美国对中国的人权侵害的关注必须不影响其在金融危机、全球暖化及其它事务上的合作的言论。
组织者：国会议员斯密斯、潘斯、沃尔夫、皮芝
时间：2月26日星期四上午11点
地点：坎农众议院大楼平台上（Cannon House Office Building Terrace (corner of Independence and New
Jersey)）
以下采用魏京生，前中国政治犯及中国民主运动海外联席会议主席在2009年2月21日给克林顿国务卿的信：
“我们很遗憾的看到，在克林顿先生任期时期，你们犯了巨大的错误。。。一般都认为，在您出任国务卿之后，应该对这个重大的历史性错误加以纠正。但从你本次访问中国的所作所为来看，并非如此。用中共网络评论家的话说：美国的人权外交已经寿终正寝。”
