China Detains Human Rights Lawyers and Familes On the Eve of World's Human Rights Day

The UN Human Rights Day is observed on December 10 since 1948. On the eve of this year's Human Rights Day, human rights lawyers in China and their families were barred from making public appearance and leaving their homes between December 9 and 10.

The National Security Police sent by the Chinese Communist Party government said blatantly that the aim was to prevent them from joining Human Rights Day activities.

The targets are human rights lawyers such as Yu Wensheng, Huang Quanzhang and Li Heping and their families. Not only that their homes were blocked or monitored by a group of unidentified agents, but they were also barred from bringing their kids to school or visiting hospitalized parent.

In Taiwan, 18 organizations petitioned and called on the international community to monitor China's human rights oppression.
