Global Protests Condemn Chinese Regime’s Abuses on Human Rights Day
Dec. 10 is International Human Rights Day. Western governments, civil groups, and citizens around the world took action to condemn the Chinese Communist regime’s human rights abuses.
On the occasion, the U.S. State Department announced sanctions on several human rights violators around the world, including a Chinese official, for his role in persecuting the spiritual practice Falun Gong.
Huang Yuanxiong is a police chief at the Wucun police station in Xiamen city, Fujian Province. The State Department said he detained and interrogated Falun Gong adherents for practicing their beliefs. The sanction, which would ban Huang from the United States, also applies to his spouse.
