Several hundred human rights protesters gathered Monday morning near Beijing’s South Railway Station to protest the country’s human rights violations.
They carried a banner welcoming Speaker Pelosi to China.
But, Speaker Pelosi is more interested in keeping the planet green this week.
She is attending an environmental conference in China this week and will not be addressing China’s human rights violations.
Protesters held up a large banner reading, “Welcome Pelosi. Pay close attention to human rights. SOS.”
China’s Boxun News reported:
Large-Scale Protests Outside Beijing Supreme Court Enter Third Day, Placards Hail Arrival of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Boxun reports that Sunday May 24 was the third day of large-scale protests outside the Beijing Supreme Court in southern Beijing. Due to growing frustration with the slow pace of justice for petitioners, the protests are growing larger by the day. The protests are also timed to coincide with U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s arrival in Beijing for talks with the government. Pelosi is an outspoken critic of China’s human rights record.
Here is video via Boxun News from their human rights protest today in China:
