The Daily Yomiuri "Biden meets activists ahead of VP trip" ― 2012/02/14 15:14
こんにちは、インターンの湯村です。HRW中国代表のSophie Richardsonが2月11日5面のThe Daily Yomiuri記事"Biden meets activists ahead of VP trip"に載りました！
中国の国家副主席の習近平が、13日から訪米します。その前に、アメリカ副大統領のJoe Bidenが、人権活動家たちと面会しました。
"The White House said Biden met Li Xiaorong, a founding member of the group Human Rights in China; Benjamin Liebman, a Colunbia University expert on China's legal system; Zha Jianying, an expert on Chinese media and pop culture, and Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch."
"Sophie Richardson, who oversees Human Rights Watch's work on China, said the Obama administration should meet not just with scholars but with former political prisoners from China. 'We're perfectly happy to give our views, but as a symbolic gesture to underscore that you're serious about hearing independent voices from China, the president should meet--and be seen to be meeting--with these other kinds of people as well,' Richardson said."
"Richardson said Obama should consider meeting Yu Jie, a prominent dissident writer who recently fled to the United States, and Rebiya Kadeer, a formerly jailed leader of China's Uighur minority who lives in exile in Washington."
