【新唐人2013年05月02日讯】大陆网路倡议：立即释放谭作人！
汶川大地震将届满五周年，大陆各界再度发起联署活动，呼吁当局释放因调查汶川地震豆腐渣工程，而被判入狱的环保维权人士谭作人。
这份正在网上流传的《释放谭作人公开签名倡议书》说，谭作人因起草《5.12学生档案》，呼吁民间对汶川大地震遇难学生校舍工程质量进行调查，却被成都市中级人民法院以“煽动颠覆国家政权罪”，判处有期徒刑5年，既荒诞离奇，又滑稽可恼。
倡议书呼吁“每一个汶川人站出来，每一个雅安人站出来，每一个中国人站出来！每个人摸摸自己的良心，然后大家一起大声喊，立即释放谭作人！”
目前，在公开信上签名的已有数十人，人数还在不断增加中。

据《大纪元》新闻网报导，罢工维权的司机大都比较齐心，但也有少部分人出车营运，被一些罢工司机愤怒的拦下砸车，当天已有多辆出租车被砸。
在京访民“五一”美使馆喊冤
“五一”长假期间，中共各信访部门都关门，十多名在京的各地访民，身穿状衣到美国驻华大使馆门前喊冤，不过，很快就被辖区的警察带到派出所。
而前一批访民刚被带走，来自福建省泉州市的十多喊冤人又到，据说，麦子店派出所当时人满为患。
目前，这些喊冤的访民都被拉到“久敬庄”黑监狱，被限制人身自由。

Mainlanders Urge for The Release Of Tan Zuoren.
May 12th will mark the fifth anniversary
of the Wenchuan’s earthquake.
People from all walks of life in Mainland China
jointly launched a campaign again.
They urged for the release of environmentalist Tan Zuoren,
jailed for looking into Wenchuan’s shoddy schools’building.
A petition letter for the release of Tan
was widely spread over China’s Internet.
The letter said, Tan proposed “5.12 Student Archive," asking
victims’parents to investigate school buildings’quality.
However, Tan was sentenced to 5 years in prison
for “inciting subversion of state power."
The letter said, this is unfair and ridiculous.
The letter calls for,
“every Wenchuan and Ya’an person to stand out!
Everyone should hold their conscience high and shout:
‘Release Tan Zuoren Now!'"
So far, several tens of signatures are collected,
with the numbers continuing to go up.
Taxi Drivers On Strike In Zhejiang And Sha’anxi
On May 1st, 500 taxi drivers in Wenling City, Zhejiang,
went on strike, and blocked the road.
They protested the poor management of Logistic Bureaus,
leading to the increase of unlicensed taxis.
In addition, petrol price is going up,
thus they have hard time surviving.
Media related reports were deleted,
reporters also received warnings.
On the same day, in Xi’an City, Sha’anxi taxi drivers
launched three days strike.
They protested against government’s forced high tax’
and management fees, as well as profit deprivation.
The Epoch Times website reported
that protesters are very united.
However, several taxi drivers still worked as normal,
but their cars were blocked and smashed by angry protesters; several taxis were damaged.
Petitioners Came To Beijing’s US Embassy to Ask For Help
During May Bank Holidays in China,
all offices of State Bureau For Letters And Calls were closed.
Tens of petitioners in Beijing went
in front of the US embassy to appeal.
Soon, police came and took them away.
After the police left, another group of tens of people
from Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, turned up to protest.
It was said that Maizidian police stations
were full at that time.
Now these detainees are being transferred
to the “Jiujingzhuang” black jail, losing their freedom too.
