The Beijing Judicial Bureau has to date Refused to renew the professional licenses of Teng Biao and Jiang Tianyong, two lawyers with distinguished records of defending civil and human rights cases. The deadline for renewal is May 31. The move followed a weeks-long delay by the bureau to complete the annual registration of more than a dozen law firms, many of which employ lawyers who have been involved in what the government deems to be “sensitive cases.” Some lawyers have privately denounced the bureau’s actions as “large-scale blackmail,” designed to deter law firms from getting involved in cases that may be embarrassing to the government.

“Beijing is trying to intimidate the legal profession by suspending these two lawyers and threatening not to renew many licenses,” said Sophie Richardson, Asia advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “The goals are to deter lawyers from representing human rights cases, and to deter firms from employing lawyers who want those cases.”

In early April, following the government’s announcement that several hundred Tibetans had been taken into custody for their role in the March protests in Lhasa, a group of 18 prominent civil rights lawyers issued an open letter offering to provide legal assistance to the detainees. “As professional lawyers, we hope that the relevant authorities will handle Tibetan detainees strictly in accordance with the constitution, the laws and due process for criminal defendants,” the letter said. “We hope that they will prevent coerced confessions, respect judicial independence and show respect for the law.”

The Ministry of Justice, which has authority over lawyers and bar associations and controls their professional licenses through a system of annual renewal, immediately responded by threatening the letter’s signatories and their respective law firms with disciplinary sanctions and holding up the renewal of their professional licenses. Beijing judicial authorities summoned individual lawyers and heads of law firms, told them the Tibetan protesters were not “ordinary cases but sensitive cases,” and asked law firms to dissociate themselves from the individual signatories or to terminate their employment.

Several law firms where notified in writing by the judicial authorities why their registration was being delayed: “The lawyers from your law firm are involved in representing some sensitive cases, therefore, the annual inspection and registration of your firms will be temporarily postponed,” the notification said. A number of lawyers were also warned by national security personnel against accepting retainers from relatives of Tibetan defendants. The Beijing Bar Association, which like other Chinese bar associations remains controlled by the local judicial authorities, also warned heads of law firms of possible disciplinary sanctions. The head of the Beijing Bar also accused the lawyers of having provided support to the “Dalai Lama clique.”

In a second open letter published on May 24, a week before the registration deadline, the signatories of the original appeal explained the motives behind their offer to defend Tibetans, and rejected the view that equated their offer of legal services with a proof of support for Tibetan separatism ideas (which constitutes a state security crime under Chinese law).

“To provide legal defense to criminal suspects and defendants is the function of a lawyer. It is an important component of the rule of law, and to defend them is not equivalent to agreeing to their position or actions,” the signatories wrote. “

The authors also stressed that deeming cases “politically sensitive” and therefore denying due process conflicts with the rule of law: “…progress [towards the rule of law] lies precisely in these so-called politically sensitive cases. The more openly they are handled, the most visible the progress. As the world has its eyes on China, hastily trying defendants without allowing them their choice of counsel will only damage the image of legalism in China,” they wrote.

Earthquake Mourning ends, But Not the old style

Most of the internet websites hosted in China received last weekend a letter from its municipal governments ordering everyone to convey the rules approved by the State Council (consejo de ministros) for the three Days Mourning that are being held in China to honour the victims of the Sichuan's Earthquake.

Here you have a rough translation of the government's order. It is a very bad translation but useful anyway thank you to this blog (The Mourning ends tonight)


To every web site in this city:
The Statement Department decides to hold "National Mourn Day" from May 19 to 21 . According the spirit of the instruction of News Office of State Department, the following requirements are announced:

Every web site should propaganda and report State Department's Announcement promptly, dominantly, and repeatedly ; should timely and dominantly report mourning activities of Party Central Committee, State Department and local's. In parallel with propaganda and report on the Internet, related web site should utilize mobile SMS, MMS, Mobile newspaper, etc methods to report. State Department Announcement should be put at the dominate location on the home page of every web site during National Mourning Day.

Every web site stops 3 days of all kinds of entertainment activities and services. From 0:00 19thto 24:00 21th, every game web site, game channels of every web site must be all closed; every entertainment channel and entertainment kind of video and audio channel web site must be covered by mourning pages; pages under these channels must not be accessible. All entertainment forum of all web sites must all be closed; all music, entertainment video search function of all search engine must be all closed; all entertainment kind of advertisement must be all closed.

Organize mourning on the web well. Atmosphere of all web site must be appropriate to the national mourning. All major news sites, and major commercial sites should well organize mourning activities joined by netizens, should completely reflect the painful sentiment and patriotic heart of massive netizen.

Effectively do the media management job. All major web site should implement 24 hour on duty, meanwhile must have person-in-charge to lead the team. Every web site should effectively strengthen management of forum, blog etc interactive columns. All comments that are not in align with the main theme of anti-earthquake and disaster relief must be completely deleted. The job implementation situation of every web site should be reported in electronic form to Municipal Government News Office (mailbox: sinonet@shanghai.gov.cn ).

Make disciplines strict. For web site who does not do the effective job effectively, should be seriously criticized, and handled. Web sites which do not obey requirements will be all closed, and will be hold responsible afterwards.


(Friendly and open-minded people, don't you agree? If not, then better host your webs [and also your huebs] out of China)

What The United Nations says about the Earthquake

Collapsed buildings are the main killers when earthquake strikes, says UN.

Source: Press Release, UN/ISDR 2008/07. 16 May 2008

“We know how to make buildings more resistant to earthquakes, but this knowledge is still not yet well disseminated among decision-makers who enforce building codes for houses, schools and hospitals” says Salvano Briceño, Director of the UN secretariat of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.

“Schools, hospitals and other critical infrastructure need to be systematically upgraded and retrofitted in earthquake prone areas if we want to save lives. Vulnerability to earthquakes is still a main cause of death during disasters” says Salvano Briceño.

Both schools and hospitals play important roles in saving the lives of society’s most vulnerable people during disasters, if they are properly designed and built.

”There are still too many poorly designed and constructed buildings in earthquake-prone areas, and too many people dying because of it” says Salvano Briceño

"What we are seeing in every urban earthquake is a result of mostly avoidable errors"

(United Nations Interview with Fouad Bendimerad, Chairman of the Board of the Earthquakes and Megacities Initiative (EMI). Prof. Bendimerad is a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Stanford University)

According to your expertise, how do you explain the collapse of so many buildings in China?

What happened in China could have happened in any other urban earthquake region. We must address the structural issues related to the safety of the buildings through integrating disaster risk reduction considerations in urban planning...

But the message is lost in the midst of all the noise! For us, this is a fundamental issue that must be addressed if we want to make schools, hospitals, buildings, and the urban environment safe. We cannot provide safe urban environments by raising awareness alone. We must also build the competency of the institutions and of the professionals who plan, build, and manage cities.


Is it possible to resist a 7.9 magnitude earthquake anyway?

...
Nonetheless, earthquake engineering knowledge has advanced significantly in the last two decades. Seismologists can provide reasonable estimates of hazard impacts to enable the design of buildings to a required level hazard resistance; this is the first step because we know that areas which have experienced large earthquakes in the past will experience them in the future.
Seismologists can also provide a projected level of earthquake impacts which could ensure that buildings are not inappropriately designed to withstand certain hazard impacts. These projected impacts are typically considered in building codes and in special zonation studies. With this information, engineers can provide the adequate design to resist projected hazard impacts. For such large earthquakes, the aim is simply to prevent the building from collapse and to protect the safety of the occupants. The damage could be substantial, and the building may need extensive repairs, if not complete reconstruction. So, yes, with proper technology and adequate knowledge we can construct buildings to resist even the largest earthquakes without collapse.

spoke Tibetan torch atop the world

(The record was not released)

2008 Beijing yesterday met the challenge to crown the Everest with the Olympic torch. A week after China abandoned the expedition base camp, the 22 year old Tibetan climber Ciren Wangmo were last to win the 8,848 relay in altitude of top of the world supported by the other 18 fellow climber. Chinese officials described the event as "historic for China and the Olympics."

The last day started climbing to 8,300 meters. After six hours of the torch was lit up to 50 meters from the top-technically designed for the occasion, and five relievers led the grand spectacle that the Chinese government so eager to provide its people. "We have fulfilled the promise we made to the world and a dream of all Chinese people," said Li Zhixin expedition coordinator, the agency said Reuters. The success of the mission has been based on the experience of Tibetan Mountaineering School. Of the 36 climbers who made up the team, 24 were Tibetans. In the Everest no signs of national fervor accompanying the torch relay through China. The dialogues and congratulations trickled in Tibetan on the scene constantly relaying the China Central Television (CCTV) and one of the climbers celebrated the moment of glory with "Long Live Tibet! Beijing Long Live! ".

To raise the Olympic flame to Mount Qomolangma, as Everest is known in China and in Tibet, the mountain had been cut off since April by Chinese security forces and Nepalese. For fear of human rights protests, no one but the mission was Olympic access to Everest and its surroundings. Despite this, Li Zhixin said in changes detected in the mountain climbers groups not identified with the intention of sabotaging the expedition, reports the South China Morning Post.

The identity of the components, the route and location of the equipment is not made public until the closing stages of the mission. To enable the mission built a road to the base camp. The television broadcast was technically excellent, the best ever made in the mountains, according to organizers, but only were broadcast late on the rise. Multiple channels of CCTV throughout the day reproduced images of adventure and patriotic slogans accompanied by epic music reminiscent of a hybrid soundtracks Chariots of Fire and What the Wind . Only official media and a dozen foreign journalists were allowed to cover the Olympic event. Half of the foreign correspondents who were elected to continue the relay received the news late that they had no tickets, or are advised against the trip because his physical condition would not allow adapt to the altitude. Chinese journalists and instead took days acclimatizing at base camp.

The devil's advocate. And the euphoria Teletubipatriótica

For the record, Blogger is again blocked in China, or at least in Beijing.
do not whine later if you have public relations problems.

Teng Biao is a Chinese lawyer, one of the signers of the petition that hung in the post yesterday and called for a radical change of strategy in Tibet. Andrea interviewed him recently. Teng Biao is one of those people we commonly regard as heroes. Defending its integrity is played the rule of law and human rights. More than one has told me that the shift Teng Biao are suicidal because if China looking for notoriety, the party cuts off your head. To do their work is helpful to have kept a low profile, not draw attention.
Friends of the Communist Party, who want to be kind to the party, Teng Biao criticize the shift by putting the finger on the pulse and make public certain improprieties, rather than take a more sensitive, not violate the weak growth of China.

But in a country 'normal', the Teng lawyer was not hold it against these things and no one would question his right to do as he pleases, and less when it comes to public service.
