The activists, who include one of China’s foremost artists and a Tibetan student in the United States, came forward after Google announced it had suffered a “highly sophisticated” cyber attack in December, whose goal was to gain access to its email service, Gmail… Ai Weiwei, who is best known in the West for having helped design the Bird’s Nest Olympic stadium in Beijing, said that two of his Google email accounts had been hacked by “unknown visitors” who read and copied his emails.Mr Ai, who is also a vociferous activist, said he had no proof that the Chinese government had been behind the hacking attempt.
Teng Biao, a law professor at the University of Political Science and Law in Beijing and a human rights lawyer, said his emails had been hacked into in 2007. “Many of my friends told me they received entrapment emails from the email address I was using at the time: against.teng@gmail.com,” he wrote on his blog… Zeng Jinyan, an activist and the wife of Hu Jia, a jailed dissident, also said that her email had been hacked. Tenzin Seldon, a 20-year-old student in the US whose parents are Tibetan exiles said that Google had called her in to check her computer and confirmed it had been hacked.

Zeng Jinyan: Concerns for Health of Hu Jia in Beijing Prison
Thanks to a translator who prefers to remain anonymous for providing the following:
In her blog entry of April 25, Zeng Jinyan discusses how on April 22 she went with their one-year-old child to visit her husband, activist Hu Jia, at the prison where he is being held on the outskirts of Beijing.
» Read more“After filling out some paperwork, I went to the waiting room. Hu Jia was already waiting. The police officer at his side changed. The electronic signboard on the wall said Hu Jia, window 4. We spoke by telephone at window 4. The sound wasn’t good and it was cut-off several times.
The window was very dirty and made for a fuzzy affect as if there were many, many layers of glass. I could see Hu Jia, but I couldn’t see him completely clearly. He had gotten a lot thinner, his face looked a bit pointy. He said he hadn’t been able to eat, so he got thinner. I asked him why he didn’t eat eggs. He replied he gets one or two eggs a week. He doesn’t eat with the other prisoners, the prison gives him vegetarian food. He can’t eat well and sleeps poorly. I asked him about the results of his physical, he said he doesn’t know and the prison personnel don’t know either. They said they will have to wait for the results from the hospital. But this is normal, not getting the results within a week!
I had to worry, thinking back to that first physical after he had disappeared for 41 days in 2006. The B sonogram showed signs of a hardening of the liver. Other test results can back within 4 – 5 days, showing everything was normal. That time I put too much confidence in the those test results that came back with some delay, thinking everything was fine. Who know that in April 2006, he gradually had less and less appetite, then couldn’t get out of bed. I thought he was too tired and sent him to the hospital for treatment, only to find out that he was in very serious condition and needed immediate medical treatment.
Now it is April and we have been waiting for the medical exam results for two months and his antiviral medicines have already stopped for three months. Now he can’t eat and is suddenly getting thinner. Could there be some physical problem? I believe that the prison is monitoring our conversations more and more tightly. His letters home have been returned twice for rewriting. All the books I have given him, except for some examination preparation books, have been rejected. Has Hu Jia been protesting to the prison officials? There is no hot water in the prison, has he caught a cold again?
There is so much to say, but I don’t know where to start. There are so many ears listening. It is hard to talk about family matters. The child went to see her father. The guards with Hu Jia this time weren’t as friendly as last time and she got scared. So she came back to me. We can’t go through that door but the innocent child sometimes go through to see her father.
The phone suddenly cut off. They said the half hour was up. The police officer told Hu Jia to go back. I was full of regrets since I hadn’t really said anything and the child didn’t really have a chance to get close to her father. Talking like this is like not talking at all, better to let father and daughter play for half an hour.
When I got back home, my mother-in-law asked me, he is getting so thin, what can we do?
What can we do? What can we do?
The next day, my mother-in-law called the Public Security Domestic Security Detachment (Guobao). I called the prison several times. The people in charge weren’t in, so we could only just keep on calling. Shouldn’t they have informed the person who had the physical and their family members long ago? Are they going to give Hu Jia his medicine? Should they not guarantee that they are going to promise to give Hu Jia nutritious food? Should they not guarantee freedom of communications for us? Should they be preventing his family members from sending him books and necessities for daily life? Shouldn’t the prison provide hot water as a basic humanitarian and health necessity?

April 25, 2009 at 10:42 am · Filed under 杂谈
北京的四月,才是真正的春天。一夜冷雨,竟叫无数野花喷发,干巴巴的枝条,居然几天就绿得茂盛起来。春是升发的季节。如果胡佳在身边,他定会如此说。
4月22日,周三。像过节一般,早早起来,梳洗,给孩子穿上昨晚准备好的衣服,又脱下,怕午饭前弄脏了,带了一包的小衣服备用。对宝宝说:今天看爸 爸去!宝宝马上指墙上的照片,脸上笑眯眯。到了爷爷奶奶那儿,一说看爸爸,她就往墙上看,找照片。
中午一点,上了京开高速,和婆婆聊天,不小心错过了高速出口——去北京市监狱好多趟,第一次出这样的错误很不应该。到六环交界处下了高速往回走。
团河,清代是是皇族的行宫所在地,现在是北京市监狱所在地。
办完手续走进监狱会见室,胡佳已经在里面等了。他身边的警员又换了一个。墙上电子屏幕显示:胡嘉,4号。我们在4号窗口通过电话交谈。电话音效不 好,几次中断。
玻璃很脏,已经模糊,中空玻璃之间,似乎还有万重的迷雾,我能看见胡佳,却不能完全看清。他瘦了许多,短短一个月时间,脸似乎尖了。他说吃 不下东西,所以瘦了。我问能不能吃到鸡蛋,他说一个星期大概有一个或两个鸡蛋。他不和其他人一样吃饭,是监狱另给的素食。吃不下东西,睡觉也不好。我问他 知不知道3月份以来体检的结果,他不知道,我也不知道,问监狱的工作人员,也说不知道,说要等医院给了才知道。可是常规的情况,一周内就能得检查结果啊!
我免不了又担心,2006年他失踪41天,回来第一次做体检,当天拿的B超结果怀疑他肝硬化,其他生化化验结果,隔了四五天才拿到,显示 一切正常。我们当时大意了,太过相信这些迟到的体检报告,以为一切平安。谁知06年的4月份,渐渐地胡佳不吃东西,后来竟不愿意起床,我以为他太过疲劳, 送到医院才知道病重需马上住院治疗。
如今又是四月,两个月的检查结果我们都不知道,他的抗病毒药已经停用三个多月了,他突然吃不下东西,突然消瘦,会不会又是身体出了状况? 监狱对我们的交流审查,我认为是越来越严,他的家信往往要几次退回重写,我给他带的书,除了考试教材,其他也都送不进去。胡佳是不是在监狱向他们抗议了? 监狱没有热水洗澡,是不是他又感冒了?
千言万语,不知从何说起,那么多耳朵在听,时事不让说,家事不便说,孩子淘气,一会儿走到门口去看父亲。这次她父亲身边的警员不如上次的那人和善, 她又恐惧,一会儿跑回我的身边。那道门,我们相互无法跨越,只有孩子,天真无邪,偶尔穿过,亲近她的父亲。
突然电话断了,说是半个小时已经过去。警员催促胡佳回去。我心中万般懊悔,什么也没说,孩子也没有好好和父亲亲近,早知如此,不如不要说话了,让他 们父女俩好好玩半个小时。
回家婆婆问我:他这么消瘦,怎么办呢?
怎么办?怎么办?
隔日,婆婆告诉我她给国保打电话了,我给监狱几次去电话,管事的人都不在,只有继续打电话,胡佳的体检报告,是不是早该告知家属和他本人? 是不是要给胡佳用药治疗?是不是该保障胡佳的饮食营养?是不是该保障我们的通信自由?是不是不该限制家属给他送书、文具和一些基本的生活用品?监狱是不是 该从人道及基本的卫生保健考虑,提供热水洗澡?

Visits To Jailed China Activist Curbed After Award
From AP:
» Read moreChinese authorities have curbed visits to an imprisoned dissident who was awarded the European Parliament’s top human rights award, his wife said.
Zeng Jinyan said she was told of the restriction during a telephone call Thursday from the Beijing Municipal Prison, where her husband, Hu Jia, is being held on a sedition charge.
“State security police told the prison to cancel my visit that had been scheduled for next Monday,” Zeng said in an online posting. “No one is allowed to see him.”
No reason was given for the change of plans, she said.

China Dissident Wins Rights Prize
BBC reports on the awarding of the Sakharov Prize to Hu Jia and a video message from his wife, Zeng Jinyan, to the European Parliament:
» Read moreMs Zeng told the parliament Mr Hu had hoped to be China’s last prisoner of conscience but said that more dissidents had been arrested since his detention.
“The situation of freedom of opinion is still absolutely appalling and there is no reason for optimism,” she said.
Ms Zeng said she had been forbidden by prison guards to discuss the prize when she last visited her husband.

China 2008: Human Rights
This next installment in the CDT series on important issues facing China in 2008 concerns the state of human rights in China. See also these previous China 2008 articles: China and the Developing World, Nationalism, Internet Culture, and Identity, Environmental Crisis, and The Global Financial Crisis and the Revaluation of the Yuan.
The issue of human rights may be the oldest sore point between the People’s Republic of China and the developed democracies of the world – particularly the United States – as the former aspires to a place of prestige in the international system. The Chinese government first garnered international outrage for its human rights record with the brutal suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. Since then, scrutiny has been focused on, among other issues, China’s treatment of its ethnic and religious minorities. However, human rights as a category casts a broad net which also includes freedom of expression, due process, reproductive freedom, and labor rights.
The hosting of the Olympic Games in Beijing made 2008 a very special year for human rights in China. One of the hottest questions buzzing around the run-up to the Games was whether Chinese leaders would improve human rights, as per their promise when bidding to host the Olympics in 2001. Since the closing ceremony, however, several events have surfaced in the media to indicate that old human rights violations are still plaguing the People’s Republic of China. Below are several cases which have appeared on CDT, from the crackdown in Tibet to lesser-known episodes of religious and political oppression.
Activism
In 2008, the Chinese government set for China ambitious goals of social progress, such as democracy by 2020 and battling discrimination against sufferers of AIDS. Activists continue to be excluded from efforts to meet those goals, as evidenced by the spate of confinements, arrests, and disappearances of democracy, AIDS, and other activists. An activist campaigning for people with HIV and AIDS was detained and sent out of Beijing as the capital observed World AIDS Day. The trial and sentencing of democracy activist Hu Jia and the house arrest of his activist wife Zeng Jinyan were perhaps the biggest stories in this vein in 2008.
The Olympics
To showcase China’s commitment to free speech, the Chinese government created special ‘protest zones‘ in parks around Beijing where people could apply to protest. However, of the 77 protest applications filed – most involving property, health care, and labor disputes 74 were voluntarily withdrawn after being “properly addressed by the relevant authorities”, and none were approved. Petitioners were often followed to Beijing by police from their hometown and forced to go back, or arrested and sentenced to hard labor.
Black Jails
Some Chinese citizens who traveled to Beijing for redress of grievances were not so lucky to be escorted back home. Many petitioners were imprisoned in ‘black jails’ instead, illegal but state-run detention centers for petitioners scattered throughout the capital city. Human rights groups have suspected the existence of these underground prisoners for some time, but hard evidence came to light in September when Beijing activists mounted rescue operations for petitioners being held in a black jail. Charged with no crime and held indefinitely in poor conditions, those held in black jails have also been badly beaten.
Labor
The global credit crisis has exacerbated the plight of China’s laborers. The recent wave of labor unrest stems from the chronic injustices of unpaid wages and unemployment benefits, and stolen pensions. Many Chinese laborers are migrant workers whose legal inability to obtain a hukou, or local registration, consigns them to substandard living conditions and denies them social services such as education for their children.
Legal Rights
The right to sue continues to be denied to parents who lost children to melamine-tainted infant formula and to unsafe schools which collapsed in the Sichuan earthquake. Chinese courts have thus far declined to hear all such cases, lawyers offering legal advice to bereaved families have been intimidated by the state, and parents are both threatened and bribed into silence.
Police Brutality
In November, police suppressed a violent riot in the city of Longnan, Gansu province over plans to demolish and move the city center. Soon after, Chinese netizens reported that the violence had been triggered when police began to beat protesters. They estimated that over a hundred had been arrested in connection with the riots, many injured and some fatally so. One netizen also claimed that tens of protesters had been beaten to death. These posts were soon censored.
Tibet
Thousands in Tibet were arrested in a security crackdown after violent riots against government policies broke out in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa on March 14. Among them was Jigme, a Tibetan monk who while in hiding spoke to foreign media about his two months of abuse in government custody. Jigme was re-arrested in November at his monastery in Labrang, where he had returned after police assured his family that he would be safe.
Torture
Accusations of torture in Chinese prisons have been leveled for years against the PRC. In early November, Chinese officials appeared before U.N. Committee Against Torture to answer questions about the country’s alleged record of prisoner abuse. However, while flatly denying allegations of torture, members of the China delegation side-stepped the Committee’s questions about whether or not the government disappeared and abused political dissidents. After the review, the U.N. Torture Committee released a report which recommended that China “take immediate steps to prevent acts of torture”. The Chinese government called the committee’s findings ’slanderous’ and ‘prejudiced’.
Xinjiang
Religious oppression continues against the largely Muslim Uighur ethnic minority in China’s far northwest province of Xinjiang. After attackers killed over 20 police officers and security guards in Xinjiang during the Olympic Games, Chinese authorities implemented a security crackdown which included religious restrictions on the region’s Muslims, such as preventing mass prayers and the ciriculation of religious material. During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in September, women were forced to unveil their faces in public, Uighur restaurants were forced to stay open during the day, and Muslims were discouraged from fasting. Ethnic Uighur government officials were tested with offers of free lunches at work.
Later in November, in a more draconian instance of China’s population control policy (also known as the one-child policy), a Uighur woman was held at a hospital in Xinjiang to undergo an abortion against her will, six months into her third pregnancy. After an unsuccessful escape attempt, she was later released without the abortion due to international pressure on Chinese authorities.

Deutsche Welle Announces International Weblog Awards
Deutsche Welle’s International Weblog Awards (The BOBs) have been announced. Generación Y, a Cuban blog written by Yoani Sanchez won the Jury Prize for Best Blog. Among many nominated Chinese blogs, Liu Xiaoyuan’s (刘晓原) blog won Best Blog Chinese, and zengjinyan.spaces.live.com, written by Zeng Jinyan, the wife of the jailed human rights activitist Hu Jia, claimed the Reporters Without Borders Award. The BOBs were also open to public online voting. Science Guru, a science blog written collaboratively by a group of Chinese authors, was the People’s Choice Winner of both Best Blog and Best Blog Chinese awards.
Liu Xiaoyuan is a famous Beijing Lawyer who fights against injustice in the Chinese legal system. According to Rebbeca MacKinnon, Liu Xiaoyuan’s sohu blog got taken down soon after the award was announced. MacKinnon’s past conversation with Liu also inspired her to conduct a study on Chinese blog censorship.
EastSouthWestNorth translated Zeng Jinyan’s latest post, “Thanksgiving.”

A Life of Purity and Dignity
In The Guardian, CDT’s own Xiao Qiang comments on the recent awarding of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to activist Hu Jia:
» Read moreTrue, Hu Jia does not have the power of a state or a political party behind him. He walked anonymously around the streets of Beijing, without crowds following him, except a group of plain clothes police. He does not even enjoy good health, and now can only walk in his prison cell. But Hu Jia has lived a life of purity and dignity. And the measure of the moral power of such a life is best seen in contrast to the gargantuan state that imprisoned him.
This kind of dignity is not evident in the spectacular Olympics opening ceremony, nor in the Chinese astronauts who recently completed a space walk. In those productions, we see only the power and glory of the state. Most recently and tragically, we have seen thousands of Chinese babies hospitalised for drinking tainted milk powder following a state media cover-up of the contamination in the run-up to the Olympics – one example of many illustrating the human price Chinese people have paid for the powerful and glorious image of the state.
Hu Jia has chosen to stand with those who suffer, and to lend his voice to those who are voiceless in Chinese society.

“Who Is Hu Jia?”
Xujun Eberlein writes in her blog about the recent European Parliament’s Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought award to Hu Jia. However, given the reaction on Chinese cyberspace, it seems that many people do not know who Hu Jia is:
A website for Chinese bloggers that I regularly visit is www.bullog.cn. Yesterday a post there titled “Congratulating Hu Jia, Congratulating Zeng Yan” led me to the Sina.com page that reports Chinese government’s protest to the European Parliament, which awarded activist Hu Jia of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. That is not the interesting part, because we have already read about the news from CNN and alike. The interesting part is, as I saw yesterday, there were over 4000 comments on that Chinese report, while only about 200 were visible. When I looked again this morning, it’s “5311 commented, 357 displayed.”
BBC has hailed Hu Jia as “the best-known of China’s imprisoned dissidents.” However, if you take a closer look at the displayed comments on Sina.com, lots of Chinese are asking “Who is Hu Jia?” “What did he do?” Apparently, my relatives (who I talked to) in China had not heard the name either.
The author points out the irony of the Chinese government protesting the award that creates attention to a topic that they didn’t want people to know about in the first place. The blog continues with this contradiction:
» Read moreA Chinese blogger put it more incisively in a post titled “Our criminal, world’s hero”: “Sometimes I feel sad for [the government]. On one hand they continuously produce candidates [for international prizes], on the other they are scared into a cold sweats by their own production of such candidates.”

Hu Jia Wins European Rights Prize
From BBC News:
One of China’s most prominent human rights activists, Hu Jia, has won the European Parliament’s prestigious Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.
Mr Hu, a democracy, environment and Aids activist, is serving a jail term for inciting subversion of state power.
The parliament’s president said Mr Hu was “one of the real defenders of human rights” in China, and that the award would support Chinese activists.
An angry Beijing had put pressure on the parliament not to honour Mr Hu.

Update: Amnesty International has called on the Chinese government to release Hu Jia. See this Bloomberg report.

China Warns EU Over Nominee For Rights Prize
From AP:
» Read moreChina has warned the European Union that its relations with the 27-nation bloc will be seriously damaged if jailed Chinese dissident Hu Jia wins the EU’s top human rights prize on Thursday.
Hu is one of three nominees for the European Parliament’s Sakharov Prize. The winner will be chosen by EU lawmakers.
In a letter to the president of EU assembly, China’s ambassador to the EU, Song Zhe, expressed “much regret” that Hu had made the shortlist.
“If the European Parliament should award this prize to Hu Jia, that would inevitably hurt the Chinese people once again and bring serious damage to China-EU relations,” Song wrote.

China Dissidents Eye Uncertain Post-Olympics Landscape
From AFP:
» Read moreDespite hopes the Olympics would improve human rights, China’s crackdown on dissidents before and during the Games has likely set the stage for a lasting period of even tighter controls, government critics say.
Beijing-based AIDS campaigner Wan Yanhai is back at work following a government-imposed shutdown of his activities during the recent Summer Olympics, but he’s treading carefully.
He said police have tailed him recently and the government last month applied new pressure with a surprise tax probe of his Aizhixing Institute, which advocates for the rights of AIDS victims, a touchy subject in China.
“With the Olympics over, it looks like they have even more time to give us trouble,” Wan told AFP.

Chinese React to Nobel Award
From RFA:
» Read moreChinese civil rights activists organized an online campaign to support the nomination of jailed AIDS activist Hu Jia to receive this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, while others supported the official line warning the Oslo-based committee not to “hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.”
While Beijing’s leaders will probably heave a sigh of relief following the announcement Friday that the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to former Finnish president and peace mediator Martti Ahtisaari, reaction online was more mixed.
“Very disappointed,” one prominent blogger commented on the live update service Twitter.
Another said, “I guess Hu Jia just wasn’t international enough.”
“Jinyan,” commented a third. “We should still congratulate you. Not even [Chinese President] Hu, the leader of the biggest mafia gang in the world, has had the honor of a nomination bestowed upon him.”

China Makes Nobel Prize Warning
From BBC News:
» Read moreChina has said it hopes the Nobel Peace Prize will reward what it called “the right person”, amid reports that jailed dissidents top the list of favourites.
The Prize is to be awarded on Friday in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.
The Chinese foreign ministry said some past choices had gone against the prize’s original purpose of promoting world peace and human progress.
The award went to the Dalai Lama 19 years ago, and dissidents Hu Jia and Gao Zhisheng are on this year’s list.

Nobel Peace Prize May Go to Chinese Activist, Angering Beijing
Along with activist Hu Jia, rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng is also among the Nobel Peace Prize contenders. From Bloomberg.com:
Gao Zhisheng and Hu Jia are deemed top candidates by Oslo’s International Peace Research Institute, which handicaps competition for the award that will be announced Oct. 10. It’s preceded by Nobel prizes for medicine today, physics tomorrow, chemistry on Oct. 8 and literature on Oct. 9.
A decision by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo to honor Hu or Gao may increase tensions between the West and the government of the world’s most populous nation.
“I hope the committee will make the right decision and not challenge the original purpose of the Nobel Peace Prize or hurt Chinese people’s feelings,” said Liu Jianchao, spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry, on Sept. 25. The prize should go to those who “truly contributed” to world peace, he said.

Zeng Jinyan: I Visited Hu Jia Today
Zeng Jinyan writes her account of a recent visit with her husband, political prisoner Hu Jia, translated by the China Freedom Press blog:
» Read moreYesterday morning I received a telephone call from the prison, notifying me that on Wednesday September 24 I could go to Tianjin City’s Chaobai Prison Hangu Qinghe Work Farm to visit my husband Hu Jia. Because the prison is so far away, and I have my baby and parents to take care of, and it was raining, and it would be dark when I returned and I feared it would be unsafe, I requested to switch the date to Thursday September 25. They agreed.
The police had informed me that from now on my visits to see Hu Jia would be coordinated between me and the prison officials directly. As long as I informed the police, they would no longer play go-between or require accompanying me to the prison. Yesterday evening I picked up Hu Jia’s mother. This morning at 8:20 we left home, and arrived at the prison at 10:40. Then we waited there for the visit to be arranged. We heard the prison officials talking about Hu Jia and them making their arrangements. At 2:20 p.m. we left the prison and arrived back home at 5 p.m. Altogether we traveled 338 kilometers, and spent 160 yuan on highway tolls. The new highway makes the trip faster, but it is still very tiring for one person to drive the whole way.
