今天下午3点,中国公民力量创办人楊建利博士在联合国人权理事会会议上发言,以中共建政以来的人权纪录尤其是习近平上台以来严重人权倒退的事实挑战中共政权在联合国人权理事会代表中国的资格。短短90秒钟的发言被中国政府代表团打断三次,每次中国政府代表团都强烈要求中止楊建利发言,会议主席都裁决给予楊建利继续发言的权利,使他得以完成预定的发言内容。
楊建利这次是以非政府组织“联合国观察”顾问的身份发言的,联合国观察是联合国人权理事会官方认定(accredited)的非政府组织,这样的组织有资格在人权理事会会议的每一项议题上安排一位代表发言,但是发言的时间以90秒钟为限。
楊建利发言三次被中国政府代表团打断的节点是:第一次当楊建利提出问题“中共政权是否有资格在这里代表中国?“,第二次当楊建利说到习近平“大搞个人崇拜和集权,废除国家元首任期制”,第三次是楊建利准备用开始的问题再次挑战中共政权代表中国的合法性时。(请参看录像前半段)
在该时段会议即将结束时,中国政府代表团要求发言对楊建利的发言进行回应,中国政府代表发言的大意是:有关反华分子假借非政府组织名义,出于反华政治图谋,对中国政治制度进行恶毒攻击,造谣污蔑,中方表示强烈反对。中国的政治制度和发展道路是历史和人民的选择,得到人民完全拥护。在中国共产党的领导下,中国的发展取得了举世瞩目的成绩,这是任何人都不能否认的事实。中国政府依照宪法和法律充分尊重并保障中国公民的合法权利。我们敦促有关组织停止利用人权理事会的场合进行别有用心的的政治攻击。(请看录像后半段。)
楊建利今天下午刚到联合国大楼靠近人权理事会的会议大厅,就遭到中国代表团成员的监视和偷拍录像,进入会议大厅后,又有中国代表团成员在其背后监视。联合国观察认为这是一种威胁和骚扰行为,并将中共代表团的行为举报给联合国大楼的安全部门和非政府组织联络部门。

主席先生:
我是中国公民楊建利,以联合国观察顾问的身份发言。
我首先向各位提出一个问题:中共政权是否有资格在这里代表中国?
自1949建政以来,中共政权长期宣扬阶级斗争,通过镇反、土改、工商改造、反右、大跃进、文革、六四、镇压法轮功、打压民主党、迫害零八宪章等运动,直接造成数千万人口死亡。近年来,中共大搞个人崇拜和集权,废除国家元首任期制,使中国走回个人独裁,与此同时,大力强化共产主义意识形态,升级对言论的钳制、对维权人士和访民的打压,大肆拆毁教堂,在西藏、新疆、内蒙实施更高压的歧视政策,在北京等大城市驱逐所谓低端人口,一度因公民抗争而产生的逼仄自由空间几乎被压制殆尽。
时间不允许我一一列举发生在中国的人权侵害案件,我谨以开始的问题结束我的发言:一个完全蔑视世界人权宣言、违背联合国人权合约的政权,是否有资格在联合国人权理事会代表中国?
谢谢各位!
Dear Mr. Chairman:
My name is Yang Jianli and I am a Chinese citizen.
I am honored to take the floor on behalf of United Nations Watch.
I would like to first put forth a question for everyone: Does the PRC deserve a seat here?
Since its founding in 1949, the CCP regime government has long advocated the Theory of Class Struggle. In the process of carrying out ruthless crackdowns on anti-revolutionaries, land reforms, industrial and commercial reforms, the Anti-Rightist Campaign, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the persecution of Falun Gong, the suppression of the Democracy Party of China, the crackdown on the signatories of Charter 08, and other campaigns and incidents, it has committed a vast number of human rights violations, directly causing the deaths of tens of millions of people. Since 2012, the CCP regime has made vigorous efforts to generate personal worship, to abolish the country’s presidential term limit, and to transform China from a totalitarian state further into a personal dictatorship or even a personality cult. The narrow freedom that was once achieved through the struggle of civil society was again aggressively suppressed. In the past five years, the CCP regime has committed round after round of vicious human rights violations, including the strengthening of communist ideology, the intensifying of the censorship of online speech and the persecution of lawyers and petitioners, the heightened implementation of suppressive discriminatory policies in Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, the wanton demolition of churches, and the expulsion of so-called low-end populations in big cities such as Beijing.
Unfortunately, time does not allow me to enumerate all the cases of human rights abuses taking place in China. I want to close by asking the question again: Should the CCP regime, a regime that totally disregards the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and contravenes the UN human Rights covenants, be eligible to represent China on the UN Human Rights Council?
Thank you all.
