Bush will not stand up to the Chinese and their abuse of freedom and human rights. Our corporations benefit too much from Chinese slave labor. This kind of thing could happen here if you countenance the death penalty.
China labor activists face subversion charges:
BEIJING, China (AP) — Two leaders of large labor protests last spring in China’s industrial northeast are to be indicted for subversion, a charge potentially carrying the death penalty, family members say.
Laid-off workers Yao Fuxin and Xiao Yunliang have been in jail since March after being arrested on charges of illegal parade and assembly. Those charges apparently stemmed from their role as organizers of labor protests in the city of Liaoyang that attracted tens of thousands of workers demanding more government support.
However, the men’s daughters said prosecutors told them their fathers are being indicted on the more serious subversion charge and ordered them to pick up copies of the indictments on Saturday.
