【新唐人2014年01月01日訊】上百中國律師聯署 籲實施國際公約
大陸民間「人權律師團」12月31號向中共人大發出呼籲，要求批准實施《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》，當天已有100多位律師簽署。
聯署活動的發起者表示，大陸早在15年前已經簽署這項「國際公約」，但中共當局至今「未批准」在中國國內實施。
他們認為，「公約」事關每一個公民的福祉，中國公民不比任何其他國家的公民劣等，中國公民沒有任何理由不與他國公民同享基本人權。
2013年，中國不斷髮生公民因呼籲官員公示財產被抓、律師出庭辯護被 打，在網路批評政府而被判刑等，各類侵犯人權的案例。
呼籲書中說，在這個公民權利和政治權利遭擠壓、憲法法律被扭曲的時候，每一個公民都應該秉持良知，鼓起勇氣，履行自己不可推卸的公民責任，對反憲政、反法治的逆流予以反擊，對踐踏人權的惡行予以強烈的譴責。
南方街頭運動取消一黨專制 受關注
國際通訊社《法新社》12月31號發表報導，對近年來在中國廣東地區興起的「南方街頭運動」，表示關注。
報導說，有人敢於打出「廢除一黨專政」的橫幅，把中共當局稱為「流氓政權」，並要求「官員公開財產」，這就是「南方街頭運動」的成員所進行的活動。
報導引述「南方街頭運動」活動人士謝文飛的話說，「如果你目睹不公正而保持沉默，那你就是站在邪惡一邊」。
謝文飛今年9月在廣州街頭打出「廢除一黨專政，建立民主中國」的橫幅，結果被關押一個月。
他說，他這樣做首先是想要向朋友們顯示需要戰勝恐懼，其次是要向中共表明，它再也不能這樣統治下去，它在民眾心中已經失去了合法性。
另一位活動人士王愛忠也對《法新社》表示，他們並沒有事先確定訴求，但是他們的大多數訴求，都圍繞著一個目標，就是結束中共一黨專制。
海外設立「劉賓雁良知獎」
12月30號，海外「獨立中文筆會」網站發佈公告，宣佈設立「劉賓雁良知獎」。
公告表示，設立這個獎項的宗旨是：秉持自由與民間立場，超越意識形態與黨派政治，表彰弘揚良知與人文理想的原創寫作或社會貢獻。
這個獎項由中西方學者和漢學家等共同推動完成，理事會成員包括 中共黨史專家李銳、旅美學者余英時、中國大律師張思之、民主人士鮑彤、著名詩人邵燕祥等。
「劉賓雁良知獎」將從 2014年開始，每年一度遴選符合主旨的人士，獎金為一萬美元，頒獎日期定為每年的12月5號，也就是劉賓雁逝世紀念日。
劉賓雁是中國知名作家、記者，因為長期撰文揭露中共的各種問題，而引得社會認同，但也因此備受中共體制的打壓。 1989年「六四事件」天安門屠殺事件後，他因為公開反對中共當局武力鎮壓學生，被迫流亡海外，到死都沒能回到中國。

Hundreds of Chinese Lawyers Called for Implementation of
International Covenant
Over 100 human rights lawyers jointly signed a request to
implement The International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights on December 31 which was issued to the National
People ‘s Congress.
The organizer explained that China signed the International
Covenant 15 years ago, but never approved implementation
in China.
They believe that the Covenant concerns the welfare of every
Chinese citizen.
Chinese citizens are entitled to the basic human rights
like everyone else in the world.
In 2013, there were many kinds of human rights violation
cases in China, such as illegal detention of citizens calling
for property declaration, violence against defending attorneys,
with people wrongfully sentenced for online criticism.
The appeal states that as both civil rights and political rights
have been depressed, and the constitutional law is distorted,
every citizen should uphold their conscience and have courage
to fulfill their civic responsibilities.
They should address their strongest condemnation against
anti- constitutional and anti- rule of law.
South Street Movement Wants to End One-Party Dictatorship
AFP reported on December 30 about the attention grabbing
Southern Street Movement in Guangdong province.
Members of the movement held banners urging an end to
China’s “dictatorship", scorning the regime as a “rogue" and
demanded that leaders disclose their assets.
These are all dangerous calls under Communist Party rule,
added the AFP.
Southern Street Movement activist Xie Wenfei told AFP, “If
you see injustice and remain silent, you have sided with evil."
It is reported that he raised a sign calling for an end to “one-
party dictatorship" in the provincial capital Guangzhou in
September, earning himself a month in detention.
He expressed his desire to firstly tell his like-minded friends
to break through their fear, and secondly to tell the Chinese
Communist Party that the way they are doing things cannot last.
“They have lost their legitimacy in the eyes of the people and
the law", quoted the AFP.
Activist Wang Aizhong told AFP that they have not specified
their demands, but all the demands target one goal. That is to
end the one-party autocracy in China.
Chinese PEN Establishes Liu Binyan Conscience Award
On December 30, Independent Chinese PEN Center declared

awardeed in 2014 with a $10,000 cash prize at the Dec. 5
award ceremony, the anniversary of the death of Liu Binyan.
Liu Binyan was a well-known Chinese writer and reporter.
He earned his recognition with his writings of exposing
the Communist regime』s issues, and was also very suppressed
by the Communist regime.
After the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, he openly
opposed the regime and was forced into exile until his death.
