November 21, 2023: Letter to Ambassador of South Korea concerning Shen Yun Performances

On November 21, 2023, Sen Nieh, Fellow at the Center for Human Rights, sent a letter to Ambassador Cho of the Hyun-dong Embassy of the Republic of Korea. The letter expresses concern that 13 South Korean government-affiliated theaters have rejected the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company, whose mission is to preserve Chinese classical dance, from performing at their venues. The Communist Party has gone to great lengths to suppress this traditional form of Chinese art, as it views such artistic expressions as antithetical to the Party's culture. Signatories on this letter include Dr. William Saunders, Director of the Center for Human Rights. Read the letter here!

July 20, 2011: Dark Night, Dark Hood and Kidnapping by Dark Mafia

Gao Zhisheng's account of more than 50 days of torture in 2007: "These words from me today will be finally revealed one day. It will expose its true face in today’s China. It will disclose the unimaginable heart and characteristics of the “ruling party” in China. Of course, these words will inevitably bring unpleasant and even upset embarrassed feelings to those global “good friends” and “nice partners” of today’s CCP- IF these global “good friends” and “nice partners” still have some fear to the value of human conscience and morality in their hearts. Today, the suddenly well off CCP has not only gained more and more global “good friends” and “nice partners” but also has made those perverted slogan such as “China is a country rule of law” lauder and lauder. Both will be disastrous to the progress and development of the human rights of the Chinese people." Read More Here (Warning: Contains Very Graphic Content)!
