聯合國報告列中國為「可恥國家」 北京外交部:嚴重失實
https://www.post852.com/259089/%E8%81%AF...%EF%BC%9A/
聯合國發表的一份年度報告,將中國、俄羅斯在內的38個國家列為「可恥」(shameful)的國家,指有關國家以殺戮,酷刑和逮捕形式對待維權人士,並經常以破壞國家安全和與外國實體合作為名起訴維權人士。
中國外交部發言人耿爽昨日在例行記者會批評報告內容嚴重失實。耿爽指,該份報告內容失實,並干涉中國的司法主權,已提出嚴正交涉。他強調,中國是法治國家,任何以「維權」名義進行的分裂國家和破壞社會穩定行為,將會「依法受到懲處」。他亦敦促聯合國人權機構恪守《聯合國憲章》,公正客觀,避免「偏聽偏信」。
U.N. decries 'shameful' reprisals on rights activists in 38 countries

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations listed 38 “shameful” countries including China and Russia which it said had carried out reprisals or intimidation against people cooperating with it on human rights through killings, torture and arbitrary arrests.
The annual report from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also included allegations of ill treatment, surveillance, criminalization and public stigmatization campaigns targeting victims and human rights defenders.
“The world owes it to those brave people standing up for human rights, who have responded to requests to provide information to and engage with the United Nations, to ensure their right to participate is respected,” Guterres wrote.
“Punishing individuals for cooperating with the United Nations is a shameful practice that everyone must do more to stamp out.”
The 38 countries included 29 countries with new cases, and 19 with ongoing or continuing cases.
The new cases were in Bahrain, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, India, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Maldives, Mali, Morocco, Myanmar, Philippines, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
Governments frequently charged human rights activists with terrorism or blamed them for cooperating with foreign entities or damaging the state’s reputation or security, it said.
“(There is a) disturbing trend in the use of national security arguments and counter-terrorism strategies by states as justification for blocking access by communities and civil society organisations to the United Nations,” the report said.
China’s foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang, asked about the report on Thursday, said it “seriously did not accord with the facts” and that China had made “solemn representations” to the United Nations.
“China is a country with rule of law,” Geng said. “Anyone who uses the name of human rights to divide the nation, to challenge our political system or create social instability will be punished in accordance with the law.”
Women cooperating with the U.N. had reported threats of rape and being subject to online smear campaigns, and U.N. staff often encountered people who were too afraid to speak to them, the report said, even at U.N. headquarters in New York and Geneva.
U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Andrew Gilmour, who will present the report to the Human Rights Council next week, said in a statement that the cases in the report were the tip of the iceberg.
“We are also increasingly seeing legal, political and administrative hurdles used to intimidate – and silence - civil society,” he said.
Some of the countries listed are current members of the Human Rights Council, which adopted a resolution last year reaffirming that everyone - individually or in association with others - had a right to unhindered communication with the U.N.
