【新唐人2012年3月1日讯】中共的“两会”将于3月初在北京召开,北京官方一贯的严厉维稳措施,早已不再是新闻;两会上那些作秀的所谓议题,也早已不再为民众所关心。不过,两会前夕,依然有民间人士通过不同方式发出自己的声音。
2月29号,代表“六四”事件死难者家属的“天安门母亲”群体,在《中国人权网》上发表公开信,要求政府“公开、公正”解决六四问题。信中说:“二十二年前的那场六四屠杀,致使数以千计的家庭失去了亲人,数以万计的民众致伤、致残,是中国百年来和平时期发生的最残忍的暴行。” 她们要求“政治问题法律解决”。
同一天,大陆维权律师刘晓原再次在社交网络上发文,呼吁人大代表们公开联系方式。他说,按照《代表法》第七条规定,代表在出席本级人民代表大会会议前,应当听取人民群众的意见和建议,为会议期间执行代表职务做好准备。设想一下,代表们连联系方式都不公开,那些被他们所代表的人民又该如何来反映意见和建议?
除了书面呼吁表达意见外,还有更多的人选择以行动表达诉求。大陆近期频频传出罢工、罢课消息。
在北方,除了连续两天的北京出租车司机罢工,紧邻北京的河北也传出了五千多教师罢课的消息。
2月27号,河北保定高碑店市的中小学老师共五千多名,全部罢课,抗议工资太低和被长期克扣。罢课教师在“致广大学生家长的一封信”中表示,他们现在“真的是走投无路了。”信中还提出8点诉求,教师们表示,若得不到正面回应,他们将会不断抗争,甚至游行、上访等。 28号,罢课已经漫延到了乡镇的中小学。
与此同时,南方的东莞也出现超过千人的罢工。
2月28号下午,东莞大岭山镇“台升家俱公司”有超过千人的员工,因为不满假期工资被扣,发起罢工抗议。据了解,“台升家俱”是全球知名的家俱制造商,约有员工2千人。2010年2月,也曾发生过数千员工停产要求加薪事件。

Citizens Protest Before The National People’s Congress
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) “Two Meetings"
will start in early March in Beijing.
Before the meetings, the authority which is normally strict
on maintaining so–called “stability" is not surprised by people anymore.
People disregard the meetings’ proposals, which are
like a showcase.
However, before the meeting, activists speak out via
various channels.
On Feb.29, Tiananmen Mothers, who represent victims
of the Tiananmen massacre of June 4, 1989, posted an
open letter on Human Rights in China online , calling for
the authorities to “openly and fairly" resolve the June 4 issue.
A letter said, “The massacre that happened 22 years ago,
caused thousands of families to lose their loved ones.
Tens of thousands of people were injured and
many were disabled.
It was the most brutal atrocity of the past century in China."
Mothers urge the “legal settlement of political issues."
On the same day, human rights lawyer Liu Xiaoyuan
posted an article on the internet.
He urged National Congress representatives to publicise their
contact details.
He said that according to Article 7 of the Representative Act,
before attending congress, they should listen to people’s
comments and suggestions.
This is the appropriate preparation for the meeting and
fulfils their role obligations.
Without publication of contact details, how can a
constituency make comments and suggestions?
Instead of writing, many express their views by direct action.
Such as workers going on strike, schools being closed,
such news items come out one after another.
In the North, Beijing taxi drivers have protested for two days,
Sources said that 5000 teachers went on strike in Hebei.
On Feb.27, over 5000 teachers in Gaobeidian of Baoding,
Hebei Province, protested against low wages and embezzlement of wages .
They wrote an open letter to all the parents, which said that
they are all “really desperate".
In the Letter they mentioned 8 issues, they said that if they
didn’t get positive answers, they would continue to protest to demonstrate and to petition.
On Feb.28, town and county secondary school teachers
joined in the protest.
Meanwhile, In the South, in Dongguan there are also
several thousand people protesting.
On the afternoon of Feb.28, over 1000 workers of the
Taisheng furniture factory in Dalingshan, Dongguan were on strike due to their wages being withheld.
Sources said, this furniture company is well-known in the
world, having 2000 employees.
A similar protest happened in Feb, 2010, when this factory
stopped operating , and workers demanded a pay rise.
