註釋In June 2019, human rights lawyer, Ji Sizun, received the news that he had won a prestigious human rights distinction, the Cao Shunli Memorial Award, in honour of the veteran Chinese activist who died in 2014 in police custody, after being denied needed medical treatment for months. It would be a little more than one month until he himself died while under the watch of state security. Ji, one of China's most prominent "barefoot lawyers", self-taught legal advocates, spent most of the last decade in prison in his native Fujian province. He was in a semi-comatose state when he finished his most recent sentence of four and a half years in April 2019; and was immediately sent to a hospital. On 10 July 2019, two months after leaving prison, Ji, 69, died of unknown causes. He joins a growing list of imprisoned political activists who have died after being denied adequate medical treatment. For human rights defenders in China, prison sentences are increasingly turning into death sentences. This is unacceptable and must change. Official stance by the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding on China's Human Rights crisis: We are expecting that the Chinese Communist Party shows some gesture of goodwill that it is willing to evolve and improve itself. Otherwise severe international sanctions must be implemented against the Chinese government; which might well cripple China's economy. Hence we are encouraging the Chinese Communist Party to come out of the Stone Age, and join the rest of the International Community, by finally implementing civil rights and democracy in China.
