由杭州律师王成发起的“废劳教千万公民大连署”行动,11月21号进入重要阶段。据《美国之音》报导,王成表示,连署书已经在21号当天,寄给了中共全国人大常委会和中共总理温家宝。
这份要求立即撤销《国务院关于劳动教养问题的决定》主张书中说,中共国务院这个劳动教养问题决定,以及一些相关行政法,违反了宪法和立法法等上位法,“明显无效,应立即废除”。
参加这份连署的名单已经超过万人,其中包括著名律师李和平,江天勇,滕彪等。
据报导,中国天网人权事务中心负责人黄琦认为,除劳教制度外,中共司法制度中还有超越法律的“黑监狱”,大批访民和政治异见人士都曾被无端投入其中,而从来没有办法进入司法程序,进行告状和诉讼。

The decision and other relevant administrative laws violate
higher laws such as the Constitution’ and Legislation’ Law.
It was obviously inefficient,
and should be abolished immediately.
Over ten thousand people are on this petition list, including
attorneys like Li Heping, Jiang Tianyong, Teng Biao, etc..
The report states, China Tianwang Human Rights Service’
chief Huang Qi said, besides labor re-education, there are “black prisons” in China.
The “black prisons” are outside the law and a large number
of petitioners and dissidents are detained inside them.
The “black prisons” were never involved in the judicial
procedure and keep people without accusing and defending.
