[quote=CARLOS,332229]European Parliament has given Saharov-human rights award to Hu Jia, a Chinese nonconformist. Hu Jia is a 36-yo human rights-, environment- and aids-activist, who was convicted to prison for three and a half years last spring. Hu was arrested last year after giving a statement to European parliament about the human rights situation in China. According to Hans-Gerd Pottering, the spokesman of European Parliament, European Union wants to send a clear message that it supports all who defend human rights in China. China abjudicated EP:s decision. China had warned beforehand that giving award to Hu would seriously harm the relationship between EU and China. According to a representative of Chinese Foreign Ministry China objects to interventions to its inner affairs using human rights as an excuse. How do you feel about that? Tomorrow starts ASEM, Asian and European countries conference in Beijing. Will this damage it?[/quote]
