Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 76

In commemoration of the 76th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 45 pro-democracy activists were sentenced to prison in Hong Kong. Citizen journalist Zhang Zhan, who had already served four years of her sentence, was detained again, Dong Yuyu, a former state media journalist has been sentenced to 7-year of imprisonment. Tsogon Tsering, a Tibetan environmental activist, has been sentenced in prison for sending public appeal against the illegal extraction of sand and gravel mining from a local river. With tens of thousands of prisoners of conscience and political prisoners under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), dozens of whom have been serving sentences for more than 20 years, their health deteriorating, at least dozens of prisoners die from torture every year, the cases are just the tip of the iceberg of human rights abuses by the CCP  rule. No one is safe under the CCP system.
