CHINA-PROTESTS ABROAD BY CIVIL/HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS
Protests were organised by different 'interest' groups outside the Chinese Consulate in New York July 13, 2015. Falungong members protested against organ harvesting in the morning; Chinese 'democrats' (dissidents) protested against the recent arrests and disappearance of more than 150 human rights lawyers and activists, and demanded their immediate release the same afternoon; and later in the afternoon Tibetans staged a protest against Tenzin Gelek Rinpoche's death and demanded that the Chinese government give his body to his family. Members of Students for a Free Tibet managed to get inside the New York Chinese Consulate yesterday and created quite a scene. Students for a Free Tibet planned to hold another protest outside the San Francisco Consulate on July 15, 2015. |
