2009年2月26日星期四的新聞發布會將就美國國務卿希拉里．克林頓(Hillary Clinton)放棄中國人權發出警報

華盛頓消息 - 前中國政治犯魏京生、吳弘達、傅希秋、熱比婭及中國人權執行長譚競嫦以及其他中國人權活動家們將參加美國眾議院克里斯．斯密斯（Chris Smith (NJ-4th)）、美國共和黨會議主席麥克．潘斯（Mike Pence (IN-6th)）,美國國會議員沃爾夫（Frank Wolf (VA-10th)）及皮芝（Joe Pitts (PA-16th)）這些人權領袖在星期四就美國國務卿希拉里．克林頓上週有爭議的講話舉行的新聞發布會。克林頓國務卿在她的講話中表示會在美中關係上將曾享有優先權的人權問題推後。

在上週末去中國時，克林頓與中國總統胡錦濤及其他領導人見面，但在滯留期間卻沒有與持異見者會面。人權組織批評了她在公開場合宣布美國對中國的人權侵害的關注必須不影響其在金融危機、全球暖化及其它事務上的合作的言論。

組織者：國會議員斯密斯、潘斯、沃爾夫、皮芝
時間：2月26日星期四上午11點
地點：坎農眾議院大樓平台上（Cannon House Office Building Terrace (corner of Independence and New Jersey)）

以下採用魏京生，前中國政治犯及中國民主運動海外聯席會議主席在2009年2月21日給克林頓國務卿的信：
"我們很遺憾的看到，在克林頓先生任期時期，你們犯了巨大的錯誤。。。一般都認為，在您出任國務卿之後，應該對這個重大的歷史性錯誤加以糾正。但從你本次訪問中國的所作所為來看，並非如此。用中共網路評論家的話說：美國的人權外交已經壽終正寢。"

Press Conference Set for Thursday

Alarm Sets in Over Secretary Clinton's Abandonment of China Human Rights

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Former Chinese political prisoners Wei Jingsheng, Harry Wu, Bob Fu and Rebiya Kadeer, as well as Sharon Hom, executive director of Human Rights in China and other Chinese human rights activists, will join Congressman Chris Smith (NJ-4th), GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (IN-6th),Congressmen Frank Wolf (VA-10th) and Joe Pitts (PA-16th) leading human rights advocates in Congress, at a press conference Thursday regarding U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's controversial remarks over the past week indicating a retreat on the priority of human rights issues in U.S.-China relations.

Traveling in China last weekend, Clinton met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and other leaders, while failing to meet with dissidents during her stay. She was criticized by human rights groups for publically announcing that U.S. concerns about human rights abuses in China must not interfere with cooperation on financial crisis, global warming and other issues.

Who: Congressmen Chris Smith, Mike Pence, Frank Wolf, Joe Pitts
When: Thursday, Feb. 26 @ 11 a.m.
Where: Cannon House Office Building Terrace (corner of Independence and New Jersey)

"Unfortunately we saw some huge mistakes during the President Clinton's Administration... . Generally, people expected you to make a correction in this important historical mistake after you became Secretary of State and to re-emphasize the human right's issue in China. However, from what you said and did during your visit to China this time, it was not the case. Using the words of the Chinese government's internet agents, human rights diplomacy of the USA has come to its end."
-Wei Jingsheng, former Chinese political prisoner and Chair of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, in a Feb. 21, 2009 letter to Secretary Clinton.
