From Reuters:
China will issue a “human rights action plan” that an official said will seek to improve citizens’ rights over the next two years, state media reported Tuesday.
The action plan would be the first of its kind for this one-party state that faces constant criticism from international rights groups for censorship and jailing peaceful dissidents and protesters, as well as rising demands from increasingly assertive citizens.
An official in the government’s public relations department said the plan showed the ruling Communist Party was committed to improving citizens’ rights.
