– China has rejected suggestions that it is easing its controversial
“one-child” population control policy, following reports that
authorities in Shanghai are encouraging eligible couples to have a
second child. The news made headlines, with media reports saying the 30-year-old population policy was being “relaxed” or “eased.” But Beijing denied this was the case. “Officials say [the one-child policy] will be strictly enforced as a means of controlling births for decades to come as overpopulation is still a major concern,” the Xinhua state news agency reported. There is nothing new in the fact that many Chinese couples who are themselves only children are allowed to have a second child (exceptions are also allowed for ethnic minorities, rural dwellers and other categories). In Shanghai, regulations in place as far back as 1997 state that “couples who meet any one of the following conditions can have a second birth … both parties are only child in their family.” What is new is that family planning officials in China’s biggest city and commercial center are now actively encouraging couples in that category to have their permitted second child, in a bid to counter the rapid graying of Shanghai’s population and prevent future labor shortages. The city’s family planning chief, Xie Lingli, told Chinese media last week that officials would make home visits to eligible families and ensure they were aware of their right to have a second child. Emotional and financial counseling would also be offered. According to Xie, 97 percent of families in the city of nearly 19 million people have only one child. At the same time, more than 21 percent of the total population is aged over 60, a proportion that is expected to rise to around 34 percent by 2020. “The rising number of retirees will put pressure on the younger generation and the social security system,” she said. ‘Pragmatism, not repentance’ Demographers and economists have long warned about the long-term effects of China’s birth limitation program. One expert projects that the number of Chinese people over 60 will rise from more than 140 million in 2008 to 200 million by 2015.  Concerned about the economic implications of a rapidly graying population, family planning officials in Shanghai are encouraging eligible couples – those without siblings – to have a second child as permitted under longstanding regulations. (Photo: Shanghai Population and Family Planning Commission) They range from punitive fines for illegal, or “out of plan,” births – China Daily reported last March that the fines are between three and eight times the average per capita income – to forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations carried out by officials aiming to meet quotas set by Beijing. In a society where male children are preferred for traditional and economic reasons, sex-selective abortions of baby girls continue, despite a ban on the use of nonmedically necessary ultrasounds to determine gender. A study in the British Medical Journal in April found that there were 32 million more males than females in China under the age of 18. “Sex selective abortion accounts for almost all the excess males,” the British and Chinese researchers found. “Although sex selective abortion is illegal, proving that an abortion has been carried out on sex selective as opposed to family planning grounds is often difficult when abortion itself is so readily available,” they argued. Reggie Littlejohn, an expert on the one-child policy and founder of a new coalition called Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, points to less obvious rights violations also arising from the policy. These include the theft of children and, in a country where an increasingly skewed gender balance means millions of Chinese men will struggle to find brides, sex slavery and trafficking. According to the World Bank and the World Health Organization, around 500 Chinese women commit suicide every day. The State Department’s 2008 human rights report said “many observers” believe that the one-child policy contributes to the high suicide rate. “Even a two-child policy is a gross violation of fundamental human rights,” John Smeaton, director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children in Britain said of the reports from Shanghai. “Apart from the brutal way in which the Chinese authorities enforce population policy – forced abortions, forced sterilizations, punitive fines etc. – couples have the right to have as many children as they want.” Smeaton noted that Shanghai officials were giving pragmatic reasons for their approach. It “doesn’t mean they are repentant for the crimes they and other population controllers have committed under the 30-year one-child policy and are continuing to commit.” ‘No official policy causes more harm to women and girls’ Citing the one-child policy, the Bush administration from 2002 withheld funding for the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), which operates in China, in line with U.S. legislation prohibiting funds for any agency that “supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.” The UNFPA has long denied that its work in China supports coercive measures, and President Obama this year reversed the policy. Nonetheless, advocates like Littlejohn are seeing some positive signs, noting that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has spoken out against coercive family planning. Testifying before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee last April, Clinton said “I consider any governmental imposition that imposes government policy on women to be absolutely unacceptable. And I feel strongly about forced sterilization, forced abortion or any other egregious interference with women’s rights.” Clinton said she had said as much in Beijing in 1995, when as First Lady she attended the U.N.’s Fourth World Conference on Women. In her speech at that event, she said, “It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions or being sterilized against their will.” Littlejohn was recently invited by the new White House Council on Women and Girls to give a presentation on China’s one-child policy. She said Wednesday she had a “very warm” reception. “Those present seemed genuinely concerned about the violence to women and girls caused directly and indirectly by the one-child policy,” she said. “As I told them, there is no other official policy in the world that causes more suffering to women and girls than China’s one-child policy.” Obama established the White House Council on Women and Girls by executive order in March, saying its mission was “to provide a coordinated federal response to the challenges confronted by women and girls.” Experts on China’s One Child Policy to Testify in Congressional Hearinghttp://www.realcourage.org/2009/11/dc-experts-on-chinas-one-child-policy-to-testify-in-congressional-hearing/DC: Experts on China’s One Child Policy to Testify in Congressional HearingBy R.E.A.L.

The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission hearing this Tuesday will present new evidence that many of these births have been “prevented” through forced abortion, involuntary sterilization, and infanticide. Because of the traditional preference for boys, sex selective abortion is practiced. Indeed, in some areas of China, 130 boys are born for every 100 girls. Because of this “gendercide, ” there are now an estimated 37 million Chinese men who will never marry, because there aren’t enough women. This gender imbalance is a powerful, driving force behind human trafficking and sexual slavery in China and the surrounding countries. On April 22, 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that coercive family planning in China is “absolutely unacceptable.” Whether pro-life or pro-choice, no one supports forced abortion–because it is negates the power of choice. Rather, the One Child Policy causes more violence toward women and girls than any other official policy on earth.” –Reggie Littlejohn, Womens Rights Without Frontiers.

November 15 如何申请一胎化政治庇护（图）政治庇护失败大多是自己的错 引用并回复 发布人: Mrs LA 发布于: 2008/03/02, 2:52 am 申请政治庇护不成功，大都是申请人粗心大意漫不经心的结果；政治庇护失败最大的原因，是当事人自己漫不经心，不认真处理，在与庇护官面谈时不充分准备，到了移民法庭以后的程序，不但官司越来越难打，钱也得越花越多。 移民局目前办理政庇案相当快速，在申请送上去后，大约一个月就要面谈，很多申请人把案件送了上去，就不加理会，到了面谈时，错误百出，前后不一，即使庇护审核官员有意帮忙也无从帮起。庇护官面谈是庇护申请最容易过的一关，过不了这一关，上诉先到移民局法庭及上诉庭的行政法律程序，然后就是联邦法院，不但要用更多的时间辩护，而且变成法律诉讼案件，是申请人财务上的不小负担。 庇护官不是法律专家，而是照本子办事的公务员，不会故意挑剔，申请人的说法合情合理，证据和旁证有实有据，庇护审核官就会依照移民法批准庇护。但是移民法庭虽是行政诉讼，但法官都是有经验的法律界人士，都做过至少 10年的律师，加上移民局的律师出庭对抗，申请人不但压力大，辩护律师时间用的多，时间和金钱都要用的很多，才能把案子翻回来。所以，最好是在庇护面谈时，仔细和充分的准备，反覆的演练答案说词，收集合理的证据和旁证，把庇护拿到会省去很多麻烦。 在庇护审核官面谈时失败的几个主要原因，第一是移民法规定当事人要在抵美的1年之内申请政治庇护，很多申请人拿不出或不准备在美国1年之内即申请证明，或者到了美国后忙著打工，根本没有理会庇护必须在来美1年之内申请规定；第二是交待不清，东拉西扯，在面谈前言不对后语，甚至与政庇无关的事情上胡乱回答，导致令庇护官员无法相信的结论，这就是不事先预备及演练的结果；第三，就是申请人本身不了解庇护的意义，例如以一胎化申请，在庇护官员问话时称，自己也不想要多几个孩子，以宗教迫害申请却不明白宗教的内涵和迫害的情况，也是不花时间准备的结局。有依照移民法律上申请庇护的理由，只要准备的好，有负责任的专业律师帮忙策划，加上申请人本人严肃的面对申请的面谈，「绝对的不准是不可能的」。 如何申请一胎化政治庇护 政治庇护长期以来都是美国移民法的重要组成部分。简而言之，凡因种族、宗教信仰、国籍、个别社会团体成员以及政治见解而遭受过迫害或回国很有可能遭受迫害的人，都有资格申请政治庇护。 如果申请人不在美国，可以申请难民身份。 如果申请人已经人在美国境内，则可申请政治庇护。 政治庇护涵盖的范围随着时间的推移和社会的变迁不断扩大。 近年来，诸如同性恋、受虐妇女等都可以申请政治庇护。1996年非法移民改革与移民责任法案更规定，凡因一胎化政策而遭受堕胎、结扎的妇女及其配偶，也可 以申请政治庇护。由于目前在全世界只有大陆中国施行强制性的计划生育政策，一胎化政治庇护等于是为中国符合条件的申请人特别设立。 有鉴于中国符合条件的申请人数目众多，美国国会将此类的申请名额限制在每年1000名。 1、一胎化政治庇护的定义与规定 根据美国移民法101（A）（42）（B）条款，凡被强行堕胎、或被迫结扎、或因拒绝进行堕胎或结扎或抵制强制性计划生育政策而遭受迫害者，可被视为因政治见解而被迫害。 凡确实害怕会被强行堕胎、或被迫结扎、或会因拒绝进行堕胎或结扎或因抵制强制性计划生育政策而遭受迫害者，则被视为具有因政治见解而被迫害的真实恐惧（WELL-FOUNDED FEAR）。 这项条款出台之后，美国移民法庭迅即根据这一条款对两个案例进行审理。审理的结果成为审批一胎化政治庇护时的先例。这两个案例为MATTER OF X-P-T和MATTER OF C-Y-Z。MATTER OF X-P-T审理于1996年。 在该案例中，申请人在生了三个孩子之后被有关部门强行结扎。移民法庭按照新的法律规定批准了申请人的申请。这是新法之后有关一胎化的第一个案例。 而MATTER OF C-Y-Z──对新法的解释更为宽松。在这个案例中，申请人的妻子因违反一胎化政策而被强行堕胎。申请人偷渡来美后，提出一胎化政治庇护申请，最后得到批准。 值得一提的是，在这两个案例中，移民局都认为申请人的证词中没有任何作假之处。不过，时至今日，关于1000个名额的问题，移民局尚未作出任何切实可行的统计方法。 2、申请一胎化政治庇护应注意的事项 根据上述移民法有关条款和移民法庭案例，许多曾经堕胎、结扎过的申请人的政治庇护申请都得到顺利批准。 与此同时，也有许多条件相同的申请人的申请被移民局否决。 很多人会问，为什么会出现这种情况？在申请一胎化政治庇护时，应该注意哪些事项呢？首先，提出申请时，务求做到完全真实。由于众所周知的原因，移民局在审 理来自大陆中国的申请时，对于申请人的可信度（CREDIBILITY）常常持怀疑态度。同时，由于政治庇护的申请本身所决定，申请人往往无法提供比较翔 实的旁证档案。因此，在提出政治庇护的申请时，一定要实话实说，被迫害的主要经历与相关的细节不能出现相互矛盾之处。比如说，有的申请人曾经两次被强行堕 胎。而在向移民局提交的证词中却只说一次堕胎。 有的申请人求成心切，不惜编造许多故事。结果在面谈时漏洞百出。有的移民站或移民服务中心也推波助澜，胡编乱造，给当事人造成不可弥补的恶果。 例如，一对在国内当内科医生的夫妇在申请一胎化政治庇护时，听信某移民站的胡言乱语，谎称自己是妇产科医生，因拒绝为他人进行堕胎手术而被医院当局解聘。 结果在面谈时，不得不承认曾经给许多人进行过堕胎结扎手术。移民局面谈的官员一声冷笑，告诉这对夫妇说，他们显然协助政府当局迫害过他人，无法申请政治庇 护。 其次，在接受面谈之前，应和律师、翻译沟通，力求在每个细节以及有关背景方面不出错误。 虽然移民局的工作人员都接受过有关中国国情的培训。但平心而论，他们对中国的情况所知甚少，经常会闹笑话。 例如错把广州当成农村，误认秘书为党支部支书。申请人和律师、翻译应多加讨论，必要时向移民局提供直观的被景材料，如地图、照片等档。 再者，要尽量准备有关的证明文件，首先是与一胎化有关的文件，如孩子的出生证、堕胎或结扎的病历、罚款通知或单位处分的文件。 其次是有关个人身份的文件，如结婚证、工作证、身份证等等。切切不要因为图方便而提供假的档。比如因无法拿到原始病历而请熟悉的医生或护士开具证明。 曾经有申请人为了证明过去十年中曾经三次被强行堕胎，拿出三张崭新的诊断书，不仅纸张、格式一模一样，连医生的字体都毫无差别。 这样的材料报给移民局，结果可想而知。 其实，只要申请人能够详细地陈述当时三次堕胎的具体情形，即使没有旁证材料，只要详细、可信，一样可以说服移民局的面谈官员。 3、一胎化政治庇护的最新进展 虽然美国移民法明确规定，凡因一胎化而受过迫害的人都可以申请政治庇护，但在移民局审理具体申请时，掌握的尺度并不一致，甚至可以说因人而异。这主要因为对所谓强行堕胎或结扎的"强行"两个字有不同的认识。 有的移民官认为，强行堕胎不必是有计划生育干部以武力的手段，逼迫申请堕胎或结扎，如果申请人不服从，会招致刑求、关押。 有的移民官则认为，强行堕胎并不非得诉诸暴力手段。如果申请人屈从于政府部门或单位的开除、罚款、没收住房、不许给超生的子女上户口等行政手段而进行堕胎或结扎，也足可视为强行堕胎。 在审理一胎化政治庇护申请时，移民局官员十分重视美国国务院每年一度的中国人权情况报告。撰写人权报告的美国领事官员在经过调查和交谈后，认为中国沿海以 及偏远农村的计划生育工作相当宽松，生第二胎以至第三、第四胎的夫妇比比皆是。当地政府往往加以罚款了事。而罚款的金额与当事人的收入相比根本微不足道。 另外，想生第二胎的妇女也可在怀孕后躲到外地，待孩子出生以后再缴纳罚款。因此，移民局有的官员会以申请人可以躲到外地为理由，否决一胎化的申请。然而， 这不仅与中国的实际情况并不相符，也不符合政治庇护的有关法律规定。政治庇护的法律明确指出，如果政治迫害是由政府加以施实，不应要求申请人躲避他处。同 时，如果申请人移居他处会在生活上遇到极大的困难，申请人也不必移居他处而仍然可以申请庇护。 我想，凡是看过小品"超生游击队"的人，都会有同感。 另外，有些移民局官员对于申请人来美的途径和手段会详加盘查。 对于以L-1、H-1等身份来美的申请人，他们会认为中国政府既然允许申请来美工作，就不会对他们进行迫害。这样的做法显然也是不合理的。 因为申请人申请的法律依据是一胎化政治庇护。众所周知，只要申请人不违反有关计划生育的规定，就不会受到限制出境的处理。 对于以B-1来美进行商务考察的申请人来说，他们往往会遇到另外一个问题：在他们的政治庇护申请批准之后，他们可以申请人在国内的配偶和子女。 由于他们所持B-1进入美国后即提出政治庇护申请，美国领事馆会认为他们的B-1签证是以欺诈的手段取得的。在申请人的配偶前往申请签证赴美时，领事官员会询问申请人的配偶有没有协助申请人取得B-1签证，比如是否为B-1来美提供过经济帮助。 如果申请人的配偶承认帮着出过钱（两口子的事，能分得开吗），领事官员会以协助别人偷渡的罪名拒签。 4、政治庇护申请的程序 最后简单谈谈政治庇申请的程序。政治庇护办公室目前是移民局里效率最高的部门。 一般来说，在政治庇护申请报给移民局两个星期以后，就会收到移民局的收据。 在此后的两到三个星期里，当事人一般会收到移民局的面谈通知。 在面谈之后，如果申请人当时已经逾期居留或因其它原因丧失了合法身份，申请人应在面谈之后的第14天前往移民局领取申请结果。 如果申请得到批准，申请人会得到一份建议批准信（RECOMMENDED APPRVAL LETTER）。申请人可以凭此信申请工卡。 在申请人的指纹结果出来之后，同时1000个名额尚未用光的话，申请人会收到正式批准的通知。申请人可凭正式批准通知书申请难民旅行档，并为尚在美国境外的配偶和子女申请来美。同时，申请人也有资格申请联邦政府的有关补助。 如果申请没有得到批准，移民局会将申请转至移民法庭，申请人可以聘请律师，与移民局对簿公堂。 如果在面谈时申请人仍然具有合法身份，移民局会将申请结果直接寄给申请人。 如果申请没有被批准，移民局会寄一封信，详细解释不能批准的原因。 申请人如果对此觉得不满意，可在14天之内提出反驳意见，并可补充其它材料。 如果申请最后没有得到批准，申请人仍可以原有的非移民身份在美国继续工作和生活。 凡 真心支持中国民主事业，参加中国自由民主党活动者，我们将热忱提供移民法律咨询、政治庇护、申请绿卡、医疗保险、培训、住宿、职介、电脑技术等方面的帮 助。---- 中国自由民主党Liberty Democracy Party of China 中国民主运动研习中心Research Center for Chinese Democracy Movement 地址136-15 Roosevelt Ave. 3 FL, Flushing, NY 11354和773 60th Street, 2nd FL, Brooklyn, NY 11220 电话1-718-961-1383, 1-718-961-1283和1-718-567-7571 手机1-917-709-8775 电子信箱mingchen2008@gmail.com 网址http://cdmrc.org 要身份，找组织！求发展，靠组织！协办政治庇护，成功率最高！律师身经百战，翻案率也最高November 13 Why Forced Abortions Persist in China Why Forced Abortions Persist in ChinaBy Simon Elegant Monday, Apr. 30, 2007

Har In urban areas, the central government recently relaxed its strict laws mandating birth control in order to restrict families to one child. The government also insists that it has banned coercive birth-control practices in the countryside commonly employed by bureaucrats eager to comply with Beijing's population-control goals — and those practices have declined dramatically since the 1980s. The central government recognizes that coercive birth control is deeply unpopular and liable to cause the sort of demonstrations and other forms of protest that Beijing abhors as a threat to its authority. Still, the fact these cases continue to surface is a troubling reminder of what activists say is the schizophrenic approach of the central government towards its own one-child policy: On the one hand, the authorities are loosening up, well aware that the scheme, which restricts couples to one child and imposes fines and other sanctions on violators, has largely outlived its usefulness. First implemented in 1978, the one-child policy has been so successful in checking China's population growth that the country now confronts the prospect of the rapid aging of its total population in the next two decades. The reaction of many Chinese demographers, not surprisingly, has been to call for the abolition of the one-child policy, which they say has served its purpose. Other critics point out that India has achieved broadly similar declines in fertility without state coercion or occasional brutality. Despite the growing consensus calling for change, however, Beijing continues to make enforcement of the policy one of the two main yardsticks by which the performance of local bureaucrats — and hence their prospects for advancement — are judged. (The other is tax collection.) It is this pressure from above to comply with population quotas that prompts local officials to adopt measures such as forced abortion (sometimes heart-rendingly late in term), forced sterilization and the like, says Nicolas Becquelin of New York-based Human Rights in China. "The occurrence of these cases is largely confined to poor or ethnic areas of China" says Becquelin, noting that in such areas the central government often seems to fear that if restrictions on population growth are lifted there will be an immediate population explosion. That would be highly unwelcome economically — with [Communist Party] cadres fearing that the new mouths would either be trapped in poverty at home or join the flood tide of rural migrants swamping the cities. More broadly, the ruling Communist Party is having a difficult time coming to terms publicly with the idea that the one-child policy has been a failure and should be scrapped. Precisely because this is one of the Communist Party's most unpopular policies, "it would be very damaging to the Party to have to admit publicly that it was neither a particularly good idea, or even necessary," says Becquelin. Given that background, he concludes, it seems as though incidents of this kind will continue to occur for some time to come.

Nationwide Crackdown on House Churches in China; Numerous Leaders Arrested; Renown Beijing Church Leader Trial Delayed Again CAA has received several credible reports from China that a nationwide campaign against unregistered house churches is underway. Numerous house churches have been raided in recent weeks, hundreds were arrested and many are still in prison. At approximately 8am, June 24th, 2005, while house church leader, Pastor Chen Dongming ( 陈东明 ) was leading a church leadership training meeting at his home in Hezhai Village ( 河寨村 ), Xingkou Town ( 邢口镇 ), Qi County ( 淇县 ), Henan Province, more than 50 Chinese police and public security officials raided and searched his house without a search warrant. About 100 pastors from several major cities including Kaifeng( 开封市 ), Xinxiang ( 新乡市 ) and Jiaozuo City ( 焦作市 ) were taken away and detained at Qi County Detention Center. Most of the pastors were released at approximately 6pm the same day after intensive interrogations. Nine of them, including Pastor Chen Dongming, Pastor Wei and Pastor Jin whose first names are not available, are still jailed. According to eyewitnesses, in the early morning of June 24, more than 50 plain clothed security officers from local Public Security offices surrounded the entire village with three large trucks and many police cars and proceeded immediately to Pastor Chen's house. After bursting into the building the security officers conducted thorough body searches of each of the pastors - both men and women. Private property including cash, chairs, TVs, books, blankets and rice were confiscated and carried away by the police trucks. One pastor who was released said they were accused of "engaging in an illegal religious gathering." Meanwhile, according to China Aid investigators from different areas inside China, June 3rd, 2005, Chinese boarder control guards detained 34 house church Christians at a customs office called Kashi between China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Pakistan. According to one house church leader who is familiar with this team, all of the 34 Christians were holding legitimate passports and visas from Pakistan. They were arrested when one of them revealed they are Christian missionaries. Most of them were released after serving 15-days in administrative detention centers in their respective hometowns - these include Henan, Hebei, Shandong and others. All of the 34 are now on the run for fear of further repercussion from the Chinese authorities. CAA also learned several hundred house church Christians were detained at Xingjiang Construction Military Corps which consists of a number of large paramilitary units. It was sent by the Chinese Communist Party in the 1950’s to suppress the so-called “rebellious Muslims” who resisted the Communist brutal occupation there. After the successful suppression, these units along with their families were ordered to reside there for civilian work. Many have become Christians and secretly hold house church worship services at their homes. According to a representative of one group of house churches there, since 2002 the local authority is increasingly suppressing them with punitive measures such as welfare deduction, arbitrary fines and imprisonment if they are found "believing a religion." May 24th, three female house church believers were arrested by four PSB officers at Yiyang County, Henan Province while visiting a Christian leader’s home . Ms. Liu Lianying, Ms. Xue Haimiao and Ms. Zhang Xiulan were all released after 10, 28 and 31 hours of intensive interrogation respectively, at Yiyang County Detention center. None of them were given or shown any arrest warrants or release papers. They were accused of “attending a religious black hole” which refers to house churches there. According to an eyewitness report, the three women were brutally beaten. Ms. Liu Lianying was released earlier because the beatings caused her to suffer a heart attack. May 13th, twenty house church leaders were arrested while conducting a bible training class at Pinglu County, Shanxi Province. Among them, two well-known local house church leaders, Pastor Zhang Guangmin and Elder Li(who is a resident from Yuncheng city. After releasing most of the participants the same day, Pastor Zhang and Elder Li were released after serving a detention term of two weeks and one month respectively at Pinglu County Detention center. CAA also confirms that Beijing House church Pastor Cai Zhuohua’s trial date has been indefinitely postponed after it was originally scheduled for mid-June. According to a reliable source, the presiding judge from the People’s Court of Haidian District, Mr. You Tao, ( telephone number +86-10-62697101) recently informed Pastor Cai’s mother of this decision by telephone. Pastor Cai’s mother has taken care of his 6-year-old son since the arrest of Pastor Cai and his wife and two other relatives last September. According to a copy of the prosecution papers obtained by CAA, Pastor Cai, his wife Ms. Xiao Yunfei and Xiao’s brother will be prosecuted on the grounds of “illegal business management” and for allegedly printing over 200,000 copies of Christian literature. Because of Pastor Cai’s pastoral leadership at a Beijing house church, five prominent lawyers volunteered to defend Pastor Cai. All five lawyers believe this is a case of religious persecution under the pretext of “illegal business management.” Among them, professor Fan Yafeng is currently an associate researcher at the Institute of Studies on Law in China’s Academy of Social Sciences which is the top government think tank. According to a credible source, the government has put mounting pressure on Cai’s lawyers to discourage them from defending Cai. Because this occurred prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, this case has attracted international attention. It’s widely believed that the delay is a tactic that may give the government time to coordinate damage control once a verdict is pronounced. The raided house churches are independent house churches with thousands of believers who choose not to register their Christian activities with the Communist government. “This is actually just the tip of the iceberg. China has been proclaiming to the international community that Chinese people are enjoying a golden time of religious freedom, this series of nationwide assaults on unregistered house churches does not support this claim.” said Bob Fu, CAA president. “This is also a wakeup call to the world community that it’s time to seriously reconsider its appeasing policies toward the issue of China’s religious freedom.” 61 Chinese Women Undergo Forced Abortion in 2 Days at Youjiang Hospitalhttp://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/apr/07042006.htmlFriday April 20, 200761 Chinese Women Undergo Forced Abortion in 2 Days at Youjiang HospitalAfter aid organization publicizes atrocities, security officers surround hospital wingBy Meg Jalsevac Birth Control Policies In Tibet
http://www.tibet.org/Activism/Rights/birthcontrol.html Birth Control Policies In Tibet The abuse of Tibetan women goes beyond torture and ill-treatment into the sensitive area of birth control. Not only do they face numerous pressures from the Chinese authorities to limit the number of their children, possibly to one, but there is growing evidence that women are being forced to have abortions and sterilisations. Birth Control PolicyThe People's Republic of China (PRC) launched, in the 1970's, its third birth control campaign (after largely unsuccessful efforts in the previous two decades). The goal by 1978 was for China's population to be under 1.2 billion people in the year 2000. This was to be achieved by the "one family, one child policy". This 1.2 billion target was in fact reached in early 1995.Officially, the "one child" policy covers only "nationalities" in China with over 10 million members. Tibet, with a population of 5 to 6 million, is regarded as a "minority nationality" and is in theory, exempt from the provisions of family planning legislation. In practice, birth control has been actively promoted in Tibetan towns since the early-1980s (Tibet Information Network [TIN] Survey of Birth Control Policies in Tibet; March 1994; p.1). According to the report, the Chinese Government "encourages" the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) to comply with the official Chinese birth planning policy, promoting it through work units and birth control clinics. Since the late-1980s in the TAR and since the mid-1980s in eastern Tibet, the authorities have progressively extended the range and impact of birth control policies (1994 TIN Survey; p.4). An article in China's Population News described the relaxation of family planning on account of "ethnic customs" as an "absolutely untenable proposition". Almost immediately, birth control in Tibet was tightened, imposing on the Tibetans a punitive family planning programme which has led to reports of abortions, sterilisations and infanticide (Tears of Blood: A Cry for Tibet, Mary Craig, 1992; p.308). Birth control policy was already in force in towns in the TAR in 1985, or three years earlier by some accounts. This was at a time when Beijing claimed such regulations did not apply to minority non-Chinese citizens. The statement was phrased, however, so as not to include Tibetans living outside the TAR, who have certainly been subject to birth controls since around 1982 (1994 TIN Survey; p.3). In Ganze, a Tibetan Prefecture within Sichuan Province, the birth control regulations show that Tibetan farmers and nomads there had been limited by law since at least 1989, and probably earlier, to a maximum of three children. In China's White Paper on Tibet, the Government said that the two-child policy had been in force in towns in the TAR since 1984 (1994 TIN Survey; p.3). Sterilisation was also compulsory in certain situations. The May 1992 TAR Birth Control Regulations stated that Tibetans in towns are allowed only two children as long as the mother is at least 22 when she has the first child, and 25 when she has the second. The 1992 regulations, which are much more severe than the 1985 guidelines and imply the use of force, also extend birth control to Tibetans living in the countryside; (the 1985 document only applied to town dwellers). The 1992 regulations state that Tibetans in the TAR who live "in the heart" of the countryside are encouraged not to have more than three children (TIN News Compilation Mar-Sep 1992, 1992; pp.22-23). Tibetans have spoken of local officials implementing regulations and punishments even more severe than those in the 1992 regulations. A Tibetan doctor has spoken of a one child per woman limit for Tibetans in her Qinghai area.(TIN 2/10/92). The threat of enforced abortion or sterilisation is heightened by the emphatic tone of the current 'Five Year Plan' for Tibet which calls on local leaders to implement the birth planning quotas' and says that they need 'strength, resources and administrative means' (TIN 2/10/92). Abortion and SterilisationAbortion is common in Tibet not just because of a lack of contraceptive technology but also because the authorities openly prefer the 'combined method' , a policy that deploys contraception or abortion to limit births (1994 TIN Survey; p.17). For urban women, there are strong incentives to have only one child, and to then abort any others or get sterilised. Women who comply receive bonuses which include an initial payment of 50 yuan followed by five yuan every month. Other incentives include priority for goods, job promotions, and free medical treatment for the child until they are 18 (Determination; Tibetan Women and the Struggle for an Independent Tibet, Carol Devine, 1993; p.70). Job penalties apply to uncooperative women. Given these alternatives, women appear to have little choice about abortion.There are frequent first-hand accounts by refugees of abortions being carried out. Tashi Drolma, whose own second child was forcibly aborted, was one of four Tibetan doctors at an Amdo hospital, all of whom left their jobs in obstetrics in protest against the inhumanity of the birth control policies. A refugee from a village near Shigatse told the Dalai Lama that a Chinese doctor had admitted to her that in order to fulfil his quota of abortions he was forced to kill the new-born (Craig; p.309). By 1990, 3% of the 600,000 Tibetan women of child-bearing age in the TAR had "volunteered for sterilisation operations"; most if not all of these lived in towns. It is unlikely, however, that all these sterilisations were voluntary (1994 TIN Survey; p19). While the law does not specifically demand abortions or the use of surgical controls, the effect of the law in practice, with its use of fines and other punishments, is that many women may feel forced to accept abortions and sterilisations. There have also been allegations of physical force. Mobile teams have been sent out to countryside areas for abrupt one-off sterilisation and abortion campaigns from as early as 1986. Monks in Amdo have spoken of such a group in 1987 working from a birth-control tent beside their monastery. Women who refused to attend were forcibly operated upon (International Physicians for Human Rights, Tibetan Bulletin July/ August 1991). In April 1994, five hundred Tibetan women protested in New Delhi against forced sterilisation and abortion programmes launched by the Chinese authorities in their homeland. They claimed sterilisation was practised "under coercion and subterfuge", and that women giving birth to a second or even first child without possessing a "certified to bear children" permit were often liable to have their baby killed at birth by injection. Human rights groups come to different conclusions about charges of coercive birth control policies in Tibet. The 1994 TIN survey argues that the evidence available is not conclusive. Dr. John Aird ( in "Slaughter of the Innocents" 1990) concludes that 'coercion has been an integral part of Chinese family planning', especially since 1979. Certainly, no Tibetan government cadre has ever been punished for the recognised cases of coercion. There is no express prohibition of forced abortions in provincial family planning regulations and Beijing's delegation of power to 'autonomous' regions like Tibet allows it to disapprove publicly of forced birth control (see China's White Paper on Tibet 1992), while tacitly encouraging it. Fines and PunishmentThe birth control regulations imposed on Tibetans affect both parents and children. Aside from complex regulations controlling how many children Tibetans can have, there are a series of fines and punishments for couples who break the rules and have an unauthorised child.Ordinary Tibetans are allowed two children, employees of the state only one. In China's White Paper on Tibet, fines and punishments for urban Tibetans who exceeded the birth control quota were extended to all Tibetan residents of towns, whether or not they were government employees. In the May 1992 TAR Birth Control Regulations, an urban Tibetan couple who have an unauthorised child are fined at least 500 yuan - about three months income for a government employee, or a year's income for a farmer. The fine is 300 yuan if one of the couple does not have a "stable profession". Neither partner is then eligible for promotion, wage rises or bonuses for two years. The fine for a second illegal Tibetan child is 1,000 yuan for an employed couple, or 600 yuan for couples with no "stable profession". Families outside the state system who exceed the two-child threshold have to pay heavily. Fines can be as high as 8,000 yuan, about 10 or 15 times the average rural income, for an unauthorised child (1994 TIN Survey; pp.19-20). Under the regulations, children can be denied residence, food rations or even schooling. Tashi Drolma explained that when her mother's cousin had a third child, the penalty did not stop at a huge fine. "When he [the child] is six, he will be barred from receiving an education and will not be given a food ration card. The family will have to share their own rations with him, and in addition pay 500 yuan a year as a penalty tax". (Craig; p.245) The Chinese working and living in Tibet are normally allowed only one child, so they officially have it worse than Tibetans. The fines are also much higher - 3,000 yuan for the first unauthorised child, 5,000 yuan for the second. Administrative punishments such as bans on promotion and salary cuts are greater, and there is compulsory sterilisation. Fines must be looked at though in the context of higher Chinese wages. Also, the Chinese may have greater access to officials who will interpret favourably the complex rules (1994 TIN Survey; pp.19-20). Ideology of Birth Control: EugenicsUnderpinning China's birth control policy is an ideological conviction that national minorities are "racially inferior". Since 1988 its controversial eugenics plan to raise 'population quality' has been particularly directed at national minorities, including Tibetans. The presentation of the Draft National Law on Eugenics in December 1993, combined with the unsubstantiated announcement of high numbers of mentally defective Tibetans, indicates China's strong intention to apply eugenic controls on Tibetans in the future. It is also likely that there will be even more limits on the number of children. In a ministerial statement the minorities were identified as one of the groups responsible for the "inferior quality births" which China aims to stop. This new law, if implemented, is likely to lead to stricter and possibly more discriminatory birth control regulations in Tibet (1994 TIN Survey; pp.3-4).FURTHER READING:
Tibet Facts 2 (Chinese Population Transfer) All attempts to discuss Tibet are bedevilled by the Chinese redefinition of the country's borders since 1949. Tibet Support Group UK uses the term Tibet to refer to the three original provinces of U Tsang, Kham and Amdo (sometimes called Greater Tibet). When the Chinese refer to Tibet they invariably mean the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) which includes only one province, U Tsang (the TAR was formally inaugurated in 1965). In 1949 the other two provinces, Amdo and Kham, were renamed by the Chinese as parts of China proper and became the province of Qinghai and parts of Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan provinces. Tibet Support Group UK campaigns for the right of the Tibetan people to decide their own future and for an end to violation of their fundamental rights and freedoms.

Chinese Birth-Control Foes Arrestedhttp://www.zenit.org/article-19726?l=english ZE07052417 - 2007-05-24 Chinese Birth-Control Foes ArrestedBEIJING, MAY 24, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Dozens of people in China have been arrested on charges of instigating protests against birth-control measures, a news agency said. In seven towns in Bobai County, in the Guangxi region, angry protests broke out because of excessive fines and alleged violence against those not in conformity with China's one-child policy, reported www.AsiaNews.it. Twenty-eight people have been arrested, it said. The Xinhua news agency reported those arrested are charged with "networking, persuading and being involved in damaging properties," saying that they would be punished for the "obvious violation of the law." In March, local government leaders in Bobai demanded family-planning officials enforce the one-child policy on penalty of jeopardizing their careers. Officials agree that part of their enforcement included excessive fines that may have triggered the protests, but denied allegations of any forced abortions and violence. Eyewitnesses maintain that police ransacked homes in order to force people to pay the fines and that forced abortions took place. Cases of Forced Abortions Surface in Chinahttp://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9766870Cases of Forced Abortions Surface in Chinaby Louisa Lim  Louisa Lim, NPR Pastor Liang Yage's wife was forced to abort their baby seven months into her pregnancy. The couple already have one child, a 12-year-old boy. They were told that having another child would contravene China's one-child policy.  Enlarge Louisa Lim, NPR A slogan on a village building outside Baise in southwest China, reads, "Keep the birth rate low to enhance the quality of the population."  Louisa Lim, NPR A slogan on a village building outside Baise in southwest China, reads, "Keep the birth rate low to enhance the quality of the population." During the past week, dozens of women in southwest China have been forced to have abortions even as late as nine months into the pregnancy, according to evidence uncovered by NPR. China's strict family planning laws permit urban married couples to have only one child each, but in some of the recent cases — in Guangxi Province — women say they were forced to abort what would have been their first child because they were unmarried. The forced abortions are all the more shocking because family planning laws have generally been relaxed in China, with many families having two children. Liang Yage and his wife Wei Linrong had one child and believed that — like many other couples — they could pay a fine and keep their second baby. Wei was 7 months pregnant when 10 family planning officials visited her at home on April 16. Liang describes how they told her that she would have to have an abortion, "You don't have any more room for maneuver," he says they told her. "If you don't go [to the hospital], we'll carry you." The couple was then driven to Youjiang district maternity hospital in Baise city. "I was scared," Wei told NPR. "The hospital was full of women who'd been brought in forcibly. There wasn't a single spare bed. The family planning people said forced abortions and forced sterilizations were both being carried out. We saw women being pulled in one by one." The couple was given a consent agreement to sign. When Liang refused, family planning officials signed it for him. He and his wife are devout Christians — he is a pastor — and they don't agree with abortion. The officials gave Wei three injections in the lower abdomen. Contractions started the next afternoon, and continued for almost 16 hours. Her child was stillborn. "I asked the doctor if it was a boy or girl," Wei said. "The doctor said it was a boy. My friends who were beside me said the baby's body was completely black. I felt desolate, so I didn't look up to see the baby." Medical sources say fetuses aborted in this manner would have been dead for some time, so the tissue is necrotic and thus dark in color. "The nurses dealt with the body like it was rubbish," Wei said. "They wrapped it up in a black plastic bag and threw it in the trash." This was also the treatment given to the stillborn baby of He Caigan. Family planning officials turned up at her house, in the countryside several hours outside Baise, before dawn on April 17 to force her to go to the hospital. This would have been her first baby — but she hadn't married the father, in contravention of family planning laws. She was already 9 months pregnant, just days away from delivery. "They told me I'm too young, I couldn't keep the child and I should have an abortion," she said. "I'm too young to get a marriage certificate — I'm only 19 and my boyfriend's only 21." After the forced abortion, her boyfriend left her. She said that she's still in great physical pain and that her life had been ruined. An eyewitness, who requested anonymity for fear of the consequences, said that he counted 41 occupied beds on just one floor of the maternity hospital in Baise and that he believed none of the women he saw had come to the hospital of their own free will. Coerced abortions such as these were not unusual after China's one-child policy was first introduced in 1980. But a law passed five years ago guarantees China's citizens a degree of choice in family planning matters. When contacted for comment, an official at China's State Commission for Population and Family Planning said she'd heard nothing about forced abortions in Guangxi and asked for more details. But in Baise, a family planning official surnamed Nong acknowledged that such behavior would violate regulations. Despite the fact that these allegations refer to events that happened just within the last week, he said an investigation had already been held. "We were very surprised to hear of these accusations," Nong said, "but our investigation concluded some individuals who were dissatisfied with our family planning policies were fabricating stories. These facts simply don't exist. We really love and care for women here." Official figures published by the Xinhua news agency shed some light on why a forced abortion campaign might be judged necessary. They show that the Baise government missed its family planning targets last year. The recorded birth rate was 13.61 percent, slightly higher than the goal of 13.5 percent. This is significant because the career prospects of local officials depend upon meeting these goals. Wei Linrong and her husband Liang Yage, were incensed by their treatment, seeing it as little short of murder. "I think their methods are too cruel," said Wei, "my heart really hurts. Such a tiny baby, it was innocent. And they killed it." "Every time we talk about this child, we both cry," Liang added. "We can't bear talking about this child." Liang and his wife risked further official disapproval by contacting a Christian group overseas to publicize their plight. China may once have depended on its state apparatus of control and fear to silence those who suffer human rights abuses at the hands of its officials. But China's victims are angry, and they want their voices to be heard.

It came in the form of a photo -- placed in a prominent spot during the congressional hearing -- of a young Chinese woman on a hospital bed gazing down at what had been her baby. To her left, on a bright yellow plastic bag, was a 7-month-old aborted child. Wang Liping, the name of this unwed mother, is the new face of China's One Child policy, which is 30 years old this year. On Sunday, the president leaves for China and the folks at Tuesday's hearing wanted to make sure Mr. Obama knows that coerced abortion is alive and well over there. "The naivete when it comes to forced abortions is serious around the world," said Rep. Christopher H. Smith, New Jersey Republican and chairman of the hearing. "This is the worst violence against women in human history." Maybe not all of the 400 million births prevented by the Chinese government were forced, but many were. And when I say "forced," that means if you don't have the necessary birth permit, police enter your home in the wee hours of the morning or grab you, screaming, off the street, drag you to a hospital, tie you down on a bed and inject a needle through your abdomen into the head of your unborn child. And if a dead child is not forthcoming fast enough, doctors slice and dice them right there in the womb, sometimes killing the mother in the process. As human rights activist Harry Wu reminded us, this cruel policy affects one-fifth of the world's women. We were handed packets describing case after case of compulsory abortions, about China's soaring female suicide rate, of lawyers like Chen Guangcheng who are imprisoned for exposing these forced terminations to the media. Because police tend to raid peoples' homes at night looking for illegally pregnant women, whole villages have taken to spending nights in the fields. I can't imagine spending an entire pregnancy hiding out in the wild, but this is what many women do. If word gets out that a certain woman is pregnant without a permit, her family is fined and tortured and their homes razed unless she turns herself in for the inevitable late-term abortion. Tuesday's hearing revealed some new trends, such as girls in Chinese orphanages having forced hysterectomies, a Chinese Web site that describes how to kill children who survive an abortion and details about the ethnic cleansing of the largely Muslim Uighur population. According to Rebiya Kadeer of the Uyghur American Association, Uighurs - at least on paper - are allowed up to three children. In practice, she said, population-control officials will go after Uighurs instead of Han Chinese migrants to fulfill abortion quotas. As a result, the One Child policy prevented 3 million births in the region between 1996 and 2000, an alarmingly high figure, she said, considering the Uighur population only numbers 8 million. I wish I could say the president is interested in the awful information presented by this panel, but remember, we're talking about a man who turned down an opportunity to meet with the Dalai Lama last month for fear of offending the Chinese. After all, they own nearly $2 trillion of U.S. debt. We wouldn't want them to start cashing that in, would we? And so he will remain silent. • Julia Duin's Stairway to Heaven column runs on Thursdays and Sundays. Contact her at jduin@washingtontimes.com. Activists Urge President Obama to Question China's One Child Policy
She entered the hearing room wearing a black cloth over her head, and sat behind a wooden screen to avoid being photographed or recorded by television cameras. Using the name Wujian for the hearing, she described what happened in 2004 after she became pregnant without a birth permit under China's one-child policy. She went into hiding, and some months later was picked up by Chinese family planning officials, this after her father was detained and beaten by authorities attempting to locate her. Wujian then described, to the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, her horror as doctors performing the abortion first killed the baby with injections, and then cut it out of her womb. "In the end of surgery one nurse showed me a part of the bloody foot, with tweezers, through my tears and the picture of the bloody foot [was] engraved in my eyes and into my heart. I clearly saw five small bloody toes," said Wujian. "The body of the baby was thrown into a trashcan." Implemented three decades ago as a way to hold down China's exploding population growth, China's one-child policy is an issue that drives members of Congress, human rights groups, and other critics of Chinese policies to anger. Enforced by thousands of officials in China's provinces, tens of thousands of women are estimated to have faced coercive abortions, often late in their pregnancies, as well as forced sterilizations.
Reggie Littlejohn, who heads Women's Rights Without Frontiers, an organization dedicated to combating forced abortion and sexual slavery in China, says Beijing would like the world to believe that it is relaxing the policy. On the contrary, she says, authorities have made clear they intend to enforce it for decades to come, which means ongoing state-sanctioned violence against women and girls. "When we say forced abortion, what do we mean? We mean women being literally dragged out of their homes in the middle of the night, or even in the middle of the day as in the case of this young woman, strapped down to tables, pleading and crying and being forced to abort their babies," said Littlejohn. Littlejohn, and other witnesses want President Obama to raise the forced abortion issue when he meets with Chinese leaders.
"I'm not saying that diplomacy doesn't have a very valid place but when we whisper and put it on page four of a list of talking points, that demotion in terms of priority is felt by the receiver, in this case the Chinese dictatorship, and then they trivialize it say it doesn't matter," he said. Leonard Leo, who heads the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, says President Obama should use the opportunity to make clear to that until China eliminates policies that repress human rights, there will not be as productive a relationship as there could be on other bilateral issues. "We all know there has been some ambiguity regarding the Obama administration's treatment of human rights in the broader agenda with China," he said. "This trip by the president is an opportunity to set that record straight." In a letter to President Obama in advance of his departure for Asia, the Commission on International Religious Freedom urges him to make a strong public statement about the importance of human rights to the future of U.S.-China relations, and also urges him to meet with human rights lawyers and defenders.
He says the one-child policy has also subjected family members of women who become pregnant to harassment, arrest and even torture. Jiang says President Obama should elevate the issue when he visits Beijing. "Mr. Obama will be visiting China very soon, and we hope he will speak out for the victims in China," he said. Rebiya Kadeer, activist for ethnic Uighurs in China's far northwestern autonomous Xinjiang province, who also testified to the panel, says her people are also hoping or an end to the one-child policy. "The Chinese government must end its practice of forced abortion and sterilization among Uighur women and even men, and allow us to exercise our most basic rights, the right to bear children as we wish and free of state control, because we are less than 1 percent of China's total population," said Kadeer. Kadeer also had some stinging criticism regarding the situation in Xinjiang, where authorities executed nine Uighurs in connection with riots in Urumqi earlier this year, saying the international community, including the United States, had been silent on the issue. President Obama is scheduled to depart on his Asia trip on Thursday, and the White House says he will be raising human rights issues with China's President Hu Jintao.

今年是中国实行计划生育政策三十年。多年来，这一政策因实施过程中对人权的广泛侵害和带来的严重负面经济与社会效应，而受到国际社会的广泛谴责。就在奥巴马总统即将访问中国之前，兰托斯人权委员会10日就此问题举行国会听证会，再次把这一严重的人权问题摆在世界面前。
“面对中共政权的暴行保持沉默是不可取的”
主持听证会的克里斯·史密斯议员在开场的致词中谈到，根据国会和行政部门中国问题委员会的报告，中国的计划生育政策特点是“以大规模的宣传、强制监控妇女的生理周期、强制避孕、强制准生制度、违者强制罚款，以及在一些案例中，使用强制绝育和强制堕胎。”
他 还谈到，在中国，“计划”外生育的孩子将被剥夺教育、医疗、结婚的权利，而对“计划”外生育的罚款可能是一对夫妇年家庭收入的10倍。付不出钱的人会被关 押、家中被砸，或者婴儿被杀掉。如果妇女不屈服，她可能被关起来，她如果逃跑，那么她的亲人可能就会被抓，并被殴打。连坐性的惩罚还会延伸到她的同事或邻 居。如果她有幸顶住了这一切压力，她还可能被强行拖上手术台，进行强制堕胎。这种精神创伤是一般人难以理解的。
由于奥巴马总统即将在本 月中访问中国，克里斯·史密斯议员呼吁奥巴马总统，在与中共领导人的会谈中，必须将人权作为首要问题提出来。他认为，中国非常在意国际舆论的看法。随着中 国在国际上的影响力日增，“如果我们不努力改善中国的人权状况，那么我们就会发现中国正在让我们所有其它地区的人权标准随之降低。”如果只把人权问题放在 其它问题的后面提出，中共就会认为美国并不重视此问题。他提醒奥巴马总统，“面对中共政权的暴行保持沉默是不可取的”。
“补救措施”等于“强制堕胎”
国 会和行政部门中国问题委员会的高级研究员Toy I. Reid在证词中说，1982年，计划生育政策成为中国的“基本国策”；2002年，这一政策成为国家法律。来自中国官方的消息表明，政府还在普遍使用各 种强制性的手段控制人口。最严重、也是很普遍的方式即强制绝育和强制堕胎。在中国的31个省中，有18个省的司法系统允许官员“采取措施”，保证不超过生 育计划数量，在实际操作中，强制绝育和强制堕胎都包括在其中。一些案件中，当地官员甚至在妇女怀孕的最后三个月进行强制堕胎。其中10个省份针对“计划” 外怀孕，法律条文明确规定计划生育官员有权采取“补救措施”，即“强制堕胎”。此外，官员的升迁与计划生育达标挂钩，违者还常被处以高额的罚款。对告发者 以奖金鼓励，令邻居、朋友和家人互相设陷。
唯一女性自杀比率高于男性的国家
女权无疆界的主席Reggie
Littlejohn在发言中说，中国的计划生育政策导致针对妇女和儿童的暴力事件超过世界上任何国家。在中国，所谓“强制堕胎”，即表示妇女从家中被绑
架、绑在桌子上、强制堕胎，即使已经怀孕9个月了。这种怀孕晚期的暴力行为不仅导致婴儿死亡，有时也会导致妇女本身的死亡。

她还说，中国政府努力让世界相信他们现在的计划生育政策已经放宽了。但这只是他们的宣传。根据中国国家人口与计划生育委员会7月23日的声明，他们还将“在未来几十年，严格执行计划生育政策，控制人口出生。”
她还列举了大量实例证明中国在计划生育政策的执行中，强制堕胎、虐杀婴儿、妇女自杀和使用暴力等状况大量存在。
在 中国妇产科网上，医务人员公开讨论“晚妊计划生育引产下来是活婴怎么办？”跟帖的内容令人震惊。例如：“其实，在生的时候你们应该穿颅的，这样又可以减少 损失，又可以生出来的不是活的孩子。”“35周孕前的孩子死亡率90%以上。大多穿颅掳掠，活的自生自灭。家属不要，就残忍的扔在污桶内或包起放置角落， 活一、两天的也有。”
现场Reggie Littlejohn还展示了一张很有代表性的照片。照片中一位妇女被强制堕胎，被取出的胎儿已经血肉模糊。计生官员要求她交堕胎手术的费用，可她拿不出钱来，于是他们把胎儿装在塑料袋里，就放在这位妇女的床边上，逼迫她交钱。
此外，她谈到根据世界卫生组织的数据，中国的女性自杀率平均为每天500人，而中国是世界上唯一女性自杀比率高于男性的国家，其比率是男性的三倍。这与中国的计划生育政策有着很多内在的联系。
中国人口结构和比例严重失调
出席听证会的美国企业研究所的研究员Nicholas Eberstadt，在报告中分析了中国计划生育政策导致中国人口结构和比例严重失调的问题。
他 认为，中国的计划生育，导致男女比例严重失调。目前出生的人口中，男性数量超过女性的20%。可以想像未来中国的婚姻问题将十分棘手。这也可能使人口贩卖 问题加剧。其它可能引起的恶果有多严重还很难预料，但目前可预见的是，计划生育导致出生率降低，劳动力数量减少，人力资源面临压力越来越大，中国的经济增 长模式必然会发生重大变化。计划生育也导致中国人口的老龄化与贫困化。此外，中国的传统家庭结构也会发生巨大变化，新一代人口绝大多数都没有兄弟姊妹。这 不仅改变传统的家族观念，也很可能带来人与人之间的信任度降低，成为一个缺乏信用的社会。
“三检”侵犯妇女人权
中国妇女人权的听证报告，详细介绍了中国的“三检”政策对妇女的人权侵犯。该组织在2008年至2009年间，通过对山东、广东、广西、四川与河北农村的调查，了解到计划生育干部要求所有育龄妇女每年进行四次检查，包括是否使用绝育环、是否怀孕及是否有女性疾病。
在执行这一政策中，不仅没有对女性的尊重，而且完全没有保护个人隐私的伦理道德。检查过程中，女性被如同牲畜一样对待。如不按时参加检查，还会被处以高额罚款。
报告指出，国家人口计划生育委员会副主任赵白鸽曾说：“中国的计划生育政策并非像看起来的那么控制严密。人们是在自愿的基础上实施计划生育的。”其实这完全是谎言。
2007年，在广西博白县的沙陂镇等地，逾五万名当地民众因对计划生育官员的野蛮计生执法不满，爆发抗议，包围镇政府，并捣毁警车，现场有7人死亡，包括两名警察和五名学生。最后有200人和100位学生在此事件中被逮捕。
这一事件暴露出计划生育官员的严重腐败。在抗议爆发之前，乡政府的网站上写着，针对计划生育征收的罚款金额高达人民币788万元。计划生育政策成为贪官污吏搜刮民脂民膏的手段。
此外，她们还发现，在强制堕胎后，有的婴儿活下来却被医院悄悄丢掉或卖掉。而人口贩卖也是中国面临的严重社会问题之一。
山东临沂暴力计生与陈光诚案
江天勇律师在听证会上谈到他在2005年承办山东临沂陈光诚案。盲人律师陈光诚为计划生育中遭到暴力侵权者做法律谘询，而遭判刑四年，至今还在监狱中，目前身体状况堪忧。
他 说中国的计划生育政策，与国际上通常理解的“家庭计划”—即夫妻自由决定其家庭成员的数量，是不同的。2002年，中国制定了“人口与计划生育法”，各省 制定了相应法规，但是，很多计划生育官员都违反法律，实行强制堕胎与强制绝育。他列举了他与陈光诚等多位律师共同调查的山东临沂计划生育案件。
其中，山东沂南县农妇胡兵美(音译)是个高血压和甲亢患者。2005年4月，她被要求做强制绝育手术。医生认为她的身体状况做手术会有危险，但是计生干部说：“我让做你就做。”手术后，胡兵美有严重的后遗症，包括头痛、颤抖等，很可能伴随她终生。
还 有一位山东临沂费县的60岁妇女宋花厚(音译)，因为她的媳妇怀孕5个月没有报告，而导致她的八位家人和两位邻居都被抓并被殴打。她和65岁的哥哥被殴打 后，计划生育干部还要她和哥哥互相打耳光。他们还被罚交每天100元人民币的“教育费”，最后通过托人说情，共被罚4,000元人民币。
2005年，在调查山东临沂费县梁秋镇桃花顶村时，发现那里由于村民害怕计生干部夜晚来抓人，整个村庄在夜晚是空的。人们白天在地里干活，晚上就睡在田间，村民自己轮流放哨。他们说：“计生干部会溜进村里，随意抓人。”
他以自己参与多个计生案件为例，说明有关计划生育的案件，法院均不受理。人权律师还遭到暴力殴打与威胁。
呼吁奥巴马总统关注中国人权
11 月15日至18日，奥巴马总统即将访问中国。出席听证会的人权组织代表和人权律师均呼吁奥巴马，在与中共领导人的会晤中要严肃的提出人权问题，特别是妇女 儿童权益受到严重侵害的问题。随着中美关系日渐紧密，美国会认识到，中国的人权问题会变成美国的人权问题，因为人权无国界。
他们也呼吁奥巴马总统要向中共提出陈光诚律师案，并要求中共恢复江天勇、李和平等人权律师的律师执照。
他们也希望美国政府要把支持中国人权的资金更多地投入到民间组织，而不是中共官方。只有中国的民间组织才是中国的希望。

Removal Defense
1. Adjustment of Status:
A non-citizen can end up in Removal proceedings in a lot of ways. One way is to be charged as an overstay or engaging in acts contrary to the terms of admission. Though in removal the alien can still apply for adjustment of status to that of a Lawful permanent Resident if that person is related to a United States Citizen as a spouse, child, parent or sibling. There are certain conditions to adjustment of status and we will do our best to ensure that those conditions are complied with accordingly.
2. Cancellation of Removal
Cancellation of Removal For Lawful Permanent Residents (Green Card Holder). Permanent Residents who commit any offense that triggers removal, and actually put in removal, may still have the removal cancelled by the Immigration Judge if they meet certain conditions and the offense they committed is not an aggravated felony. This is one in a lifetime relief and one should therefore be very careful in applying for it. The Immigration Judge (IJ) may cancel the removal of an LPR from the U.S. if s/he:(1). Has been a Permanent Resident for 5 years;(2) Has resided in the U.S. continuously for 7 years after having been admitted in any status; and (3) Has not been convicted of an aggravated felony.
Cancellation of Removal For Non-Permanent Residents. (No Green Card)
When an alien has resided continuously in the United states for at least ten years and have been good citizens, they become eligible for the relief of cancellation of removal if they end up in removal. The drawback in this relief is that you cannot cancel your removal unless you are already in one. It is not an easy relief because the applicant will have the Qualifying relative, be clean of any felony and prove that his/her removal will cause extreme and unusual hardship to any of the qualifying relatives -parent, spouse or child.
The Immigration Judge may cancel removal and the applicant may adjust to Lawful Permanent Resident if: (1)s/he have been physically present in the U.S. for a continuous period of not less than 10 years immediately preceding the date of such application. (2) s/he have been persons of good moral character for 10 years;(3) s/he have not been convicted of an offense under INA §§212(a), 237(a)(2) or 237(a)(3); and (4) s/he establish that removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to their spouse, parent, or child, who is a U.S. Citizen (USC) or Lawful Permanent Resident LPR.
Asylum
Asylum is both an affirmative relief which means one can apply for asylum without being in removal. It is also defensive when the applicant is already in removal proceedings. One must first be a refugee to qualify for asylum.
Refugee as defined by the INA is any person who is outside any country of such person's nationality or in case of a person having no nationality, is outside any country in which such person has last habitually resided, and who is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Under §208(b) of the INA, the Immigration Judge may, in his or her discretion, grant asylum to an individual who qualifies as a "refugee" within the meaning of INA §101(a)(42). The definition includes the requirement that the asylum applicant demonstrate that he or she is unwilling or unable to return to his or her home country because of past persecution or a "well-founded fear" of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
The asylum applicant's burden of proof is to demonstrate that there is a "reasonable possibility" that he or she will be persecuted. An applicant for asylum may establish a "well-founded fear" by showing that a reasonable person in his or her circumstances would fear persecution.
Asylum also provides more permanent protection than withholding of removal. A person granted asylum, known as an "asylee," may apply for permanent residency after one year under INA §209 and may eventually become a U.S. citizen. An asylee may also bring his or her spouse and children to the United States.
Withholding (Restriction on Removal)
1. Under INA §241(b)(3)(A), an IJ may not remove a person to a country where his or her life or freedom would be threatened because of the person's race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. The applicant for withholding of removal must show a "clear probability" of persecution or that it is more likely than not that he or she would be persecuted if removed to his or her home country. This standard is more difficult to satisfy than the well-founded-fear standard for asylum. Withholding of removal to a particular country is mandatory if the IJ determines that the applicant's life or freedom would be threatened in that country.
The grant of withholding of removal, unlike asylum, does not give an individual an automatic right to remain in the United States. He or she cannot apply for permanent residency or bring his or her spouse or children to the United States.
Convention Against Torture (CAT)1.Relief is available under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) if an individual fears torture at the hands of the government in his or her country, or from individuals who have the acquiescence of that government. The CAT can provide relief if the respondent is not eligible for asylum or withholding of removal under INA§241(b)(3) because of a lack of nexus to one of the five statutory grounds, or because of a bar to asylum or withholding of removal (crime, prior persecutory acts, etc.). Furthermore, the CAT does not require that the applicant show that the torture is "on account of" a specific reason.
Article 3 of the CAT prohibits the return of an individual to a country where there are substantial grounds for believing that he or she would be subject to torture. Specifically, it states that "no state shall expel, return ('refouler') or extradite a person to another state where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture."
Torture is defined as "any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or her or a third person information or a confession, punishing him or her for an act he or she or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or her or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind...."
Voluntary Departure:
Pre-Hearing Voluntary Departure
Sometimes, an applicant has no immediate relief available and the best option could be to request to be allowed to go home on his/her own. This makes a lot of sense because the alien gets time to organize his/her affairs, and depart with no one knowing. Also, it gives the alien an opportunity to re-enter the United States and start on a clean slate. An order of deportation will have more far reaching consequences on the person's ability to re-enter. The alien can obtain VD of up to 120 days if the request is made prior to or at the master calendar or a continued master calendar hearing; provided the person is not convicted of an aggravated felony or is not in removal under security related provisions.
Post-Conclusion Voluntary Departure
Persons in removal hearings are eligible for voluntary departure after a final hearing if they meet the following conditions:(1) Must be physically present in the U.S. for at least one year prior to service of the Notice To Appear;(2) Must have the financial ability to post a bond designated by the IJ within 5 days of the IJ's order (the minimum bond the IJ can set is $500); (3) Must be a person of good moral character for at least the 5 years preceding the application for VD; (4) Must not be deportable as an aggravated felon or terrorist; (5) Must not have previously been granted VD after having been found inadmissible under INA §212(a)(6)(A); and (6) Must establish by clear and convincing evidence that they have ability to leave at own expense and that they intend to do so.
The IJ may grant 60 days VD after a final merit hearing. A bond is now required "in an amount necessary to ensure that the alien will depart," but in no case less than $500. It must be posted within 5 days of the IJ's order. If person fails to depart within the time period specified for VD s/he is: (1) subject to a civil penalty of $1,000 to $5,000; and (2) ineligible for a period of 10 years for any further relief of VD, adjustment, cancellation of removal, change of status or registry
Bonds: Hearings and Payments
We are present at Bond hearings in person to make the best argument for our clients before the Immigration Judge for the lowest possible bond amounts. Bilingual staff are available. Bond hearings can be scheduled in 72 hours.
We get results. We have over 18 years experience in obtaining the lowest possible bond and evaluating cases for all forms of relief. Call us toll-free at 877-497-6281.
Remember, after bond is posted, the detainee is released on his promise to appear at all court hearings. The case continues in a non-detained docket and the detainee MUST appear. Failure to appear at a scheduled hearing may lead to an order of removal, denial of relief from removal and the loss of any bond monies.
Please obtain helpful information in order to obtain the lowest possible bond, such as: alien number (A#), the detainees family ties, how long they have lived in America, work history, immigration history, and criminal record (if any). Documents such as: birth certificates, green cards, marriage certificates, pay stubs, tax returns, property records, and affidavits are helpful.
Remember, after bond is posted, the case continues and the detainee MUST appear. Failure to appear at a scheduled hearing may lead to an order of removal, denial of relief from removal and the loss of any bond monies.
Bond Payment
1. Bonds can be paid at any immigration office in the country. Please see www.uscis.gov or www.ice.gov for a list of local offices and their hours. If the bond is paid near the place of detention, this will usually speed the detainees release.

宗教与科学
我说了那么多真话出来，得罪了那么多人，
得罪了农村人，
得罪了北方女孩，
得罪了北方人，
得罪了普通家庭的女孩，
得罪了好多好多骂我的人，
Bible讲的是宽容，
我这样做违反了 gosple of jesus christ
鸡毛批斗凤凰男，也违反了bible
如果鸡毛有点仁慈心的话，
或者一点宽容心的话，
就不会这么批斗凤凰男，
鸡毛和我得罪这么多人，
目的不是害人，
而是挖掘真相，
发掘 truth, fact,
用来帮助更多的人，
使得更多的人从鸡毛或者我的谈话中学习到有用的东西，
如果说谎是为了揭穿说谎的人，
那么是可以被接受的，
不过，heavenly fathter
是可以接受我们的这种做法的，
我跟鸡毛在发掘真相的过程中，
很可能片面了，过分了，
很可能犯错误了，不公正，不公平了，
Lord 是会原谅我们的，
我跟鸡毛在犯错误的过程中，
揭露了事实真相，把不好的东西挖出来给大家看，让大家小心，
这一点还是宝贵的，
我们不单只要正直善良宽恕，
同时，我们还要保持探索事实真相，挖掘truth, 尊重科学，尊重事实
如果你对别人宽容了，
你就能听取别人意见，
能听取别人意见就叫民主，
基督耶稣并没有阻止科学，
探索事实真相，挖掘truth，目的是帮助别人to have a better life,
如果能通过你的行动，
探索事实真相，挖掘truth，来帮助别人，
基督耶稣绝对是鼓励的，
帮助别人本来就是bible 的一个很重要的精神，
宗教的作用就相当于心理学研究，
帮助人们治疗精神上的疾病，mental healing,
一般人呢都存在各种各样的心理不健康，
心理学可以帮助你，keep mental healthy,
就如同你体育锻炼身体一样，
You have a healthy body, physically.
有个健康的身体，
You have a healthy mental.
心理学是从精神上，的保持你精神上的健康，
有个健康的心灵，健康的心态，
都是保持你的心理健康，心态健康，
宗教比心理学的效果更好，更快，更直接，直达你内心深处，
宗教可以从你内心最深的地方开始治疗你的心理问题，心态问题，
心理学，治疗问题，比较浅，可以治疗表面的问题，
有些心理问题，是心理学也治疗不到的，
但是宗教就有可能继续更深层次的治疗，
心灵，mind, 是最深层次的
从这个层次去治疗心理问题，往往是心理学做不到的，
这个硬件发达的背后一定要有先进的软件支撑，
这些软科学，
美国在这些领域一样是最新进的，
在这些强大的精神领域的先进科学的支撑下，
才有表面那些你看到的硬科学的强大
硬科学是一败涂地，
所谓的经济强大，那都是打肿脸充胖子，
中国的心理学还是相当的落后，宗教被取缔，
愚昧无知的中国人呢，
什么时候才能意识到自己的愚昧呀？？？
