由杭州律師王成發起的「廢勞教千萬公民大連署」行動,11月21號進入重要階段。據《美國之音》報導,王成表示,連署書已經在21號當天,寄給了中共全國人大常委會和中共總理溫家寶。
這份要求立即撤銷《國務院關於勞動教養問題的決定》主張書中說,中共國務院這個勞動教養問題決定,以及一些相關行政法,違反了憲法和立法法等上位法,「明顯無效,應立即廢除」。
參加這份連署的名單已經超過萬人,其中包括著名律師李和平,江天勇,滕彪等。
據報導,中國天網人權事務中心負責人黃琦認為,除勞教制度外,中共司法制度中還有超越法律的「黑監獄」,大批訪民和政治異見人士都曾被無端投入其中,而從來沒有辦法進入司法程序,進行告狀和訴訟。

最近愈演愈烈的藏人自焚,不僅引起國際社會的極大關注,也給漢族人的心靈帶來極大震撼。很多學者、律師及民間人士紛紛在網上轉發自焚消息,希望中共當局尊重藏民族文化,改變西藏政策。
報導說,北京律師肖國珍認為,面對藏人前仆後繼的誓死抗爭,當局應該警醒。她說,作為任何一個國家的政府,統治者,都應當真正的以人為本,尊重每一個國民、每一個民族、讓他們有充份的,足夠的自由權和自治權。
不過,據最新傳出的消息說,這星期再有一批中共軍人進入四川藏區。
