你還記得兩年前發生的四川大地震嗎? 過千名學童於上課期間被活埋於黃土下，中國政府卻一直迴避公開受害人名單及死亡人數。成都環保工作者譚作人因「豆腐渣工程」的言論和收集四川地震遇難學生名單，被成都市中級人民法院以「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」判處有期徒刑5年，剝奪政治權利3年。今次的週五茶聚我們將會放映由譚作人等人拍攝的『公民調查』及有幸邀得潘嘉偉,國際特赦組織(香港)執行委員會會員, 帶領探討中國公民參與揭發政府官員的惡行而引起的生存權及言論自由問題。

Join us after school or work to discuss human rights issues over a cup of coffee!

The Sichuan Earthquake was a heartbreaking natural disaster which happened two years ago. Thousands of school kids and teenagers were buried under the soil and the Chinese government never disclosed the numbers of victim and their names.

Tan Zuoren, an environmentalist, was sentenced to five years in prison for "inciting subversion of state power" shortly after his investigation on the shoddy construction quality of Sichuan schools, as well as his participation in setting up a victim database.

At this Friday Coffee Talk, we will screen "An Investigation by Citizens", a documentary on the investigation carried out by Tan and his team.  We are delighted to have Patrick Poon, our EXCO member and an expert on human rights in China, lead a discussion on Chinese citizens’ participation in exposing official wrongdoings in relation to the right to life and freedom of expression.

Topic: "An Investigation by Citizens"
Date: April 09, 2010 between 19:30 and 21:30
Location: AIHK Office

國際特赦組織發表組織對年度環球死刑概覽報告。該報告《死刑及處決2009》揭露，去年在18個國家中，最少有714人被處決，另外在56國家中，最少有2,001人被判死刑。雖然中國境內可能執行了的處決數以千計，但由於死刑的資訊，在中國仍視為國家機密，所以報告並沒有加入中國的數字。為了抗議中國欠決透明度，國際特赦組織決定，不會發表對2009年中國所執行和判處死刑的最低估算，而只基於公開資料的估計，其實大大低估了中國實際處決及判處死刑的數目。

Amnesty International released its annual death penalty statistics report, Death Sentences and Executions in 2009, revealing that at least 714 people were executed in 18 countries and at least 2,001 people were sentenced to death in 56 countries in last year. This excludes the thousands of executions that were likely to have taken place in China, where information on the death penalty remains a state secret. In a challenge to China's lack of transparency, Amnesty International has decided not to publish its own minimum figures for Chinese executions and death sentences in 2009. Estimates based on the publicly available information grossly under represent the actual number the state killed or sentenced to death.
