In China, human right violation is escalating in forced house demolition. In Dajinzhuang, Cangzhou, Hebei province, villagers are forced to leave their houses so the local government can build skyscrapers. For those who don’t want to move, their essential utilities are shut down and paths to their houses are blocked by deep trenches. Many are beaten badly by steel sticks until their legs and ribs were broken. Explosive devices are thrown to their houses. The violence escalated recently when villager Huanling Li’s son was attacked and stabbed with knives multiple times so he nearly died. In China, these crimes are often covered up by the local governments. We request President Obama to urge the Chinese government to stop human right abuse in demolition in the June 7-8 summit in California.
