At 2:00 p.m. on February 12, the first day of the Chinese New Year (February 12), some members of the China Coalition for Democracy and Human Rights and the Democratic China Front marched in front of the Chinese Consulate in New York City with a display board and chanted slogans, protesting the Chinese Communist Party‘s trampling on human rights and freedom. They demanded that the Chinese Communist Party release all political prisoners, prisoners of conscience, and rights activists, guarantee freedom of expression and association, and end one-party dictatorship.
Mr. Bai Jiemin, head of the China Democracy and Human Rights Alliance in the U.S. East, said that those political prisoners, prisoners of conscience and human rights activists who are still being held by the Chinese Communist Party are innocent. He said, “The Chinese Communist Party has suppressed the unarmed people and intensified its efforts, even sentencing the visitors for subversion of state power.” He also said he would continue to persist in such protests in the future until the final end of this evil regime.
Mr. Luo Yongdong, a member of the China Coalition for Democracy and Human Rights, drove from out of state to New York to attend the event. He said, “On this important day, the first day of the New Year, we did not stay at Home, we stood here at the Chinese Communist Consulate in the U.S., not afraid of the cold wind, to express our protest demands. Chinese people know that the New Year is very important. However, there are many innocent political prisoners who are locked up in Chinese Communist prisons and cannot be reunited with their families. We came here to cry out for all the political prisoners and demand the Chinese Communist government to release them unconditionally and let them go home.” He said he came here to protest on the first day of the New Year to make the Chinese Communist government understand that their evil regime is bound to come to an end and be put into a coffin by history.
Bai concluded by calling for the support of the forces of justice around the world and for the Biden administration to continue the Trump administration’s tough measures against the Chinese Communist Party.
