【新唐人2012年12月12日訊】中國囚禁記者數量全球第三
總部設在美國的「保護記者委員會（CPJ）」，12月11號發表年度普查報告說，到12月1號，全球共有232名記者被監禁，其中，中國囚禁32人，是全球囚禁記者第三多的國家。土耳其和伊朗分別囚禁49人和45人。
報告說，這個數字刷新了1996年185人被囚禁的記錄。
「保護記者委員會」說，這些國家濫用反恐法律和各種反國家罪名——例如叛國和顛覆——來對付批評尖銳的記者和編輯。
報告還指出，在中國被囚的記者中，有19人是藏族和維吾爾族人，他們因製作有關種族衝突的記錄片而被問罪。
全美記者俱樂部 放映《自由中國》
據《自由亞洲電臺》報導，12月10號「世界人權日」當天，美國華盛頓特區「全美記者俱樂部」舉辦了記錄片《自由中國- 有勇氣相信》內部放映會，影片主人翁之一的李祥春在放映會上作了演講。
報導引述李祥春的話說，2003年1月，中共當局在他回中國探親期間，以莫須有的罪名將他監禁三年，他在這期間歷盡磨難。但最讓他痛苦的是，中共當局以他病危的母親作為要挾，要他放棄修煉法輪功。
這部片長50分鐘的記錄片，由《新唐人電視臺》和「未來世界（World2BeProductions）公司」聯合製作。影片通過兩位法輪功學員的真實經歷，揭露了中共當局多年來對法輪功學員的殘酷迫害，以及活體摘除法輪功學員器官的真相。影片已獲得美國「第45屆休士頓國際電影節」評委特別獎等四個重要獎項。
停止鎮壓藏人﹗數千藏人紐約集會
12月10號，來自北美各地大約4千多名藏人，和他們的支持者，在中共駐紐約總領事館和聯合國大廈前，舉行大規模示威集會，抗議中共政府對藏人採取的高壓政策。有藏人代表進入聯合國，遞交了30萬人簽名的請願信，要求聯合國和世界各國的組織，敦促中共停止迫使藏人用自焚方式表達抗議的失敗政策。
據《美國之音》報導，西藏流亡議會北美議員扎西朗傑表示，在國際人權日舉行對在中共統治下的藏人的聲援，是因為藏人為了西藏的自由、藏人的自由，抗議中共的統治，犧牲他們的生命。他說，在這關鍵的時刻，全世界的藏人、全球生活在自由世界的人們，有責任站出來支持西藏人民。
美國人權活動人士楊建利、陳破空、唐元雋等，也到場表示支持。
