Chinese police drag grieving parents from protest!

[sri_lion]

Chinese police officers take away parents who lost children to the May 12 quake and kneeled outside the court house in Dujiangyan, southwestern China's Sichuan province, Tuesday, June 3, 2008. Chinese police dragged away more than 100 parents Tuesday while they were protesting the deaths of their children in poorly constructed schools that collapsed in last month's earthquake.

The government says the May 12 earthquake destroyed 7,000 classrooms. Many parents have accused contractors of cutting corners when building the classrooms, resulting in schools that could not withstand the 7.9-magnitude quake. Pictures of collapsed schools surrounded by buildings still standing have fueled anger.

Police dragged an Associated Press reporter and two photographers who were covering the protest up the steps into the courthouse, trying to prevent them from seeing the demonstration.

Now the chinese are really pushing it. Say the Dalai Lama case can be with standed but this is just too much of human right violation. They have really got that power of being a key economy into their head, of which without the the US and the developed countries would be facing a huge depression by now.

and as for the buildings being of cheap quality. hey, its "Made in China" whatelse do u expect?

China, again because they are big headed now, wont bow down to the UNHRC or AI. I wouldnt be surprised to see China uniting with North Korea to apply force on the US.
