3 members of Chinese advocacy group stand trial

October 28, 2013:

"XINYU, China (AP) — China on Monday put on trial three activists from a group that used protest banners and dinner parties to urge citizens to embrace their constitutional rights, underscoring the Communist Party's intolerance of any semblance of organized political challenge."


I found this paragraph particularly interesting - I feel it and this article relates to a lot of what we're learning in class this semester: 

"'The United States urges the Chinese government to respect internationally recognized human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedoms of expression and assembly,' said Daniel Delk, the U.S. Embassy's political officer."
