China,  Human Rights

Comrades! We have won the battle for human rights!

The Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Daily Online reports:

All targets and tasks set by the National Human Rights Action Plan of China (2009-2010) have been fulfilled as scheduled, said a report released on Thursday by China’s State Council Information Office (SCIO).

The report was titled Assessment Report on the National Human Rights Action Plan of China (2009-2010).

It said that all measures stipulated in the Action Plan had been put into practice, with all the goals achieved and tasks fulfilled in due time by the end of 2010.

In addition, the report said “35 percent of the binding targets and over 50 percent of the targets concerning the people’s livelihood had been met ahead of time or exceeded.”

In April 2009, the SCIO published the National Human Rights Action Plan of China (2009-2010). It is China’s first national plan on the theme of human rights.
