WHERE IS THE CRIME IN CHARTER 08?
Charter 08 is a manifesto that was originally signed by over 300 Chinese intellectuals and human rights activists to promote political reform and democratization in the People's Republic of China. The Charter was published on 10 December 2008, the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and calls for, among other things, greater freedom of expression, an independent judiciary, free elections and human rights. Even though a number of signatories have been intimidated or placed under arrest, the Charter continues to gain support, with over 8,000 Chinese inside and outside China putting their names to the document. Bao Tong, a former political aide who has been under house arrest for nearly two decades said, "I call on the Chinese government to answer me this: where is the crime in Charter 08?"
Julie Adler speaks with Professor Perry Link, one of the foremost Western China scholars. He is an international expert on Chinese human rights issues and was one of the translators of the "Tiananmen Papers," which described the government's response to the 1989 democracy protests. Blacklisted by China's government in 1996, he has since been denied entrance to the country.
FROM CRITIC TO DEFENDER: THE TIBETAN ODYSSEY OF A CHINESE JOURNALIST
“Whenever I hold a pen, it is all about Tibet”. Those words come from an unlikely source, a Chinese journalist who underwent a personal transformation from critic of Tibetan society to one of its most passionate defenders. From her first visit to Tibet in 1997, Zhu Rui fell in love with the scenery, the culture and the people. "All my understanding of Tibet came after I saw Tibet myself for the first time," she says. "I want to tell every one what I saw and what I heard, even if it’s just to a single Chinese person."
OPEN MIND: MASTERING YOUR DREAMS
Tibetan teacher, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, talks about the Tibetan tradition of dream yoga. What is it and why is it important not just to Tibetans but to all of us?
"Look to your experience in dreams to know how you will fare in death. Look to your experience of sleep to discover whether or not you are truly awake."
