3. Oral Statement by Ms. MO Li Hua
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oral Statement by Ms. MO Li Hua on behalf of Worlview International
=46oundation. This statement is expected to be delivered at around 20.45
hours (CET) on 29 March.
Mr. Chairman,
Earlier this month the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry was
quoted by news agencies as proclaiming that today China enjoys the best
situation of human rights in its history. As a Chinese who cannot now
freely live in China, I do not agree to that statement like majority of the
people in China. My own experience as a teacher who publicly criticised the
Chinese government for its role in the 4 June 1989 massacre in Beijing has
been devastating. I was imprisoned for almost three years for exercising my
freedom of speech.
Today the call for a democratic China is once again suppressed as the
leaders of the Democratic Party of China and many other dissidents were
given harsh prison sentences for speaking up. The unreasonable ban on the
practice of Falun Gong is another indication of disregard for basic human
aspiration or believes. The Chinese Government even intercept donations
sent by some people in different countries for the victims' families on the
4 June 1989 massacre in Beijing.
Mr. Chairman, when we speak of human rights, bodies like this Commission,
cannot forgot the most vulnerable ones on our human planet. The oppressed,
as we learned in the 20th century, generally become the victims who suffer
the most. The situation of human rights in Tibet is one such example. The
Chinese authorities has been committing gross and systematic violations of
human rights and fundamental freedoms in Tibet with impunity. The
international community just looks on! As a Chinese I condemn the policies
implemented in Tibet by the Chinese Government.
Like other Chinese of my generation, I grew up thinking that China really
"liberated" Tibet. We actually believed that the Chinese government was
helping the Tibetans to be free from what the Beijing leadership calls,
"serfdom". But when we had access to independent information on what
actually transpired, we could not believe how the government indoctrinated
us into believing its propaganda on Tibet.
Mr. Chairman, today more than 40 years after the People=EDs Liberation Army
forced its way into Tibet, Tibetans remain denied of their basic human
rights, including the freedom of expression, the freedom to propagate and
to practice their religion and the freedom to preserve their distinct
culture and language. These days communist cadres regularly enter
monasteries and nunneries to conduct the so-called "patriotic re-education"
sessions whereby monks and nuns are forced to either denounce the Dalai
Lama or to declare their support for the child the Chinese government
picked to be the Panchen Lama. More than 11,000 monks and nuns have been
expelled for opposing these indoctrination sessions, a human rights report
said last month. The Dalai Lama in his 10 March Statement this year,
described the current situation in Tibet as "witnessing the return of an
atmosphere of intimidation, coercion and fear, reminiscent of the days of
the Cultural Revolution."
Mr. Chairman, many Chinese are against the continued and unchecked
atrocities being committed in Tibet by the Chinese Government. This
realisation will definitely spread when more people in China learn about
the true nature of the Chinese presence in Tibet. A lot of people in China
will also support the policy of the Dalai Lama to seek genuine self-rule in
Tibet through a negotiated peaceful settlement of the Tibetan issue. Some
analyst in China believe that the Chinese government is buying time as far
as the Tibetan issue is concerned. In late 1999 a confidential Chinese
document as revealed. In it a senior Chinese official is quoted as saying
the following. "We have no need to engage in dialogue with the Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lamas return to China will bring a great risk of instability. We
will then not be able to control Tibet. The Dalai Lama is now fairly old.
At the most, it will be ten years before he dies. When he dies, the issue
of Tibet is resolved forever. We, therefore, have to use skilful means to
prevent his return."
Against this background, the people of Tibet or for that matter, the people
of China, have no other way to appeal but to forums like this Commission
whose thematic mechanisms continue to document the human rights abuses in
Tibet and China. This Commission has the moral obligation to make
countries, big or small, fully accountable for their human rights failures.
The Commission on Human Rights should also not ignore the fact that a
Security Council member of the United Nations is holding a 10-year-old boy
Tibetan boy as the world=EDs youngest political prisoner.
In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, if the UN Commission on Human Rights requires
a credible outlook in the 21st century, member-countries cannot ignore the
plight of the Tibetan people as it has done in the 20th century. We cannot
belittle the world=EDs longest non-violent freedom struggle by such
discrimination. It is, therefore, appropriate for the Commission on Human
Rights, this year to unanimously act on China and adopt a resolution which
will greatly help to promote and protect human rights in China and Tibet.
