【新唐人2014年03月22日讯】今年是“人权”一词被写入中国宪法的10周年。 但讽刺的是，“人权”恰恰是中共当局最为禁忌的词汇之一。大陆人权活动人士、“北京大学”法学硕士曹顺利女士，在被关押期间死亡，外界纷纷质疑中共曾对曹顺利实施酷刑迫害。而日前，人权团体在联合国人权理事会上，提议为曹女士默哀一分钟，也遭到中共官员的阻挠。
3月20号，联合国人权理事会开会，表决通过对中国人权状况的“普遍定期审议报告”。当天也是大陆维权人士曹顺利女士在被关押后死亡的第七天，俗称“头七”。
据《美国之音》报导，当天的会议在联合国瑞士日内瓦总部举行。非政府组织“国际人权服务社”，希望利用他们在联合国人权理事会会议上的发言时间，举行一分钟的哀悼。中共代表立即加以阻挠说，非政府组织只能用此时间发言，默哀不是发言。之后，又有国际人权联盟代表提议为曹顺利默哀，也遭到中共官员的抗议。
时事评论员汪北稷：“迫害曹顺利的、致使她生命消失的这些人（中共官员），跟它在联合国的外交官，虽然在中共的体系里面不是一个部门的，但他们实际上是一个利益集团的。他们相互维护共同的利益是不遗余力的。”
大陆维权律师刘士辉认为，中共当局对曹顺利实行政治迫害，并且迫害致死，就是加害者。因此，中共官员在联合国会议上的表现完全在意料之中。
报导引述“国际特赦”组织东亚研究主任阮柔安的话说，这是中共官员的一个可耻的侮辱性伎俩。“不仅表现当局完全无视曹顺利的生命，而且现在还要有意掩盖真相，就像他们过去多次做过的那样。”
汪北稷：“ 这件事情更多一次（告诉）我们，中共的外交官其实不是外交官。在西方，外交官是一个独立的部门，司法系统是独立的，检查系统是独立的，行政系统是独立的，但是在中共的体制下不是这样，它都是不独立的，都是归中国共产党统一来管理的。”
加拿大、英国、德国以及代表28个欧盟成员国的希腊，都支持人权团体悼念曹顺利的要求。德国还敦促中共当局查明曹顺利死亡原因，并惩处那些导致她死亡的参与者。美国也对中共当局拒绝与民间社会合作表示失望。
52岁的曹顺利在去年9月被中共当局拘捕，当时她正准备前往日内瓦，出席联合国人权理事会一次有关中国人权记录的会议。
据她的家人和律师说，曹顺利在押期间患病，有好几个月得不到治疗，直到今年2月底，她出现器官衰竭和昏迷不醒后，才被送往医院就诊。
3月14号，曹顺利不治身亡。中共坚称她的权利一直受到保护，并否认她受到了虐待。但外界对此表示强烈质疑。
曹顺利的弟弟曹云利14号在接受《新唐人》记者采访时说，姐姐的遗体上青一块紫一块，惨不忍睹，不仅器官衰竭，而且身上的皮肤像鱼鳞一样，皮肤完全失去了弹性。
曹顺利的律师王宇，20号在香港对媒体讲话时，曾引述曹顺利哥哥的话说，曹顺利全身都肿了起来，看上去极其可怕，不像是人的身体，他认为妹妹曹顺利一定受到过酷刑折磨。
刘士辉：“曹顺利是一个非常值得嘉许的人权捍卫者，她是为了中国人权事业，被迫害而死的。中共当局在这个事情上负有不可推卸的责任。中共当局掩盖不了的。”
目前，王宇已经请求北京当局对曹顺利的死因展开独立调查。
《美国之音》报导提到，中国人权资深政策顾问高文谦认为，曹顺利虽死犹生。他说，尽管不少“专制俱乐部”的成员跟随中共起舞，但是，对曹顺利案的关注已经把中共置于被告席上，这种现象是多年来所没有的。

The CCP Blocked a Moment of Silence to Pay Tribute
to Cao Shunli at UNHRC Conference
This year marks the tenth anniversary that the term
“human rights" was written into the Chinese Constitution.
Ironically, “human rights" is now one of the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) authorities most taboo phrases.
Mainland human rights activist Ms. Cao Shunli,
who graduated from Beijing University
with a Master’s degree in law,
died while in detention.
The public questions the CCP’s implementation
of torturous persecution.
Recently during the United Nations Human Rights Council
(UNHRC) Conference, a human rights groups suggested
a minute of silence to pay tribute to the deceased Ms. Cao,
but the implementation was obstructed by CCP officials.
The UNHRC conference, which opened on March 20,
voted on China’s human rights via the Universal Periodic
Review State Second Cycle Report.
The date is also the seventh day, commonly known
as the ‘first seven’, since Mainland human rights activist
Ms. Cao Shunli passed away while in detention.
The conference is held at UN Headquarters in Geneva.
According to the VOA report, non-government organization
(NGO) International Service for Human Rights
wanted to dedicate one minute of the conference for
a moment of silence tribute.
The CCP representatives immediately opposed
the idea with the excuse that NGO’s can only give speeches
during the designated speech time,
and that silence is not a speech.
Later, the International League for Human Rights also
recommended a silent tribute, which was again blocked by CCP officials.
Political commentator Wang Beiji: “Those officials who
persecuted Cao Shunli to death and those Chinese diplomats
in the UN are not in the same working department of the CCP
regime, but they are actually within the same interest group.
So they spare no effort to defend their common interests."
Mainland human rights lawyer Liu Shihui says the CCP
authorities implemented the political persecution
of Cao Shunli which caused her death,
so they are the perpetrators.
The CCP officials’ performance at the UN Conference
was to be expected.
News reports cited the Director of East Asia Institute
of Amnesty, Ms. Roseann Rife, who believes
blocking the moment of silence tribute is shameful.
She said, “This not only shows the CCP authorities
completely ignores Cao Shunli’s life,
but also intentionally hides the truth,
just as they have done too many times in the past."
Wang Beiji: “Such a thing tells us once again
that the CCP’s diplomats are not actually diplomats.
In western countries, the diplomatic department
is independent of the judicial system due
to the independence among the judicial system,
procuratorate system and administrative system.
However under the CCP regime this is not so, all are
dependent and uniformly administrated by the CCP."
Canada, UK, Germany and Greece, as well as 28 other EU
members together supported the suggestion for a moment
of silence for Cao Shunli.
Germany urged the CCP authorities to investigate the cause
of Cao Shunli’s death and punish those persons responsible.
The US also expressed its disappointment with the CCP’s
refusal to cooperate with non-governmental communities.
52-year-old Cao Shunli was detained by the CCP authorities
last September as she was preparing to fly to Geneva
to attend a UNHRC conference pertinent
to China’s human rights.
According to her family and her lawyer, Cao Shunli suffered
from illness yet her application for medical parole
was rejected for at least several months.
She was in a deep coma with organ failure until the end
of February 2014.
She was then sent to the hospital for treatment.
On March 14, Cao Shunli passed away.
The CCP insisted that her rights had always been protected,
and denied the torture allegations.
But analysts challenge this and express strong doubts.
Cao Shunli’s younger brother Cao Yunli told NTD on March 14
that he was appalled to see his elder sister’s bruised corpse.
Not only had her organs failed, but also her skin resembled
fish scales and had completely lost its elasticity.
Cao Shunli’s lawyer Wang Yu, who was interviewed by media
outlets in Hong Kong on March 20, cited Cao Shunli’s
elder brother who said Cao Shunli’s remains were entirely
swollen and looked terrible.
He said her remains did not look like a human body.
He believes his younger sister must have
experienced brutal tortures
Liu Shihui: “Cao Shunli is a very commendable
human rights guardian.
She has been persecuted to death in struggling
for China’s human rights cause.
The CCP authorities cannot shirk responsibility
for her death.
It is impossible for the CCP to cover it up."
Presently, Wang Yu has requested Beijing authorities
to undertake an independent investigation
regarding Cao Shunli’s cause of death.
The VOA reports mentioned that Senior Policy Advisor
for Human Rights in China, Gao Wenqian, believes
Cao Shunli lives on in spirit.
He said that although there are some “authoritarian club"
members following the CCP to dance, the highlights
of Cao Shunli’s case have put the CCP in the prisoner’s box,
a phenomenon that has never occurred before.
