China: Stop police violence against workers fighting for their rights r1 ...

Things have never been easy for the world's largest working class, and now they're getting harder.

Repression of labour rights defenders in China has been growing for more than a year.

The Chinese government has been cracking down on labour non-governmental organizations (NGOs) including the following measures:

  • Forced eviction from their offices
  • Systematic use of violence against workers' representatives
  • At least seven labour activists still in prison, some serving life sentences
  • And a new law which will make it even harder for these NGOs to operate


The Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions, the only independent trade union in the country, has launched a major global campaign to demand that the Chinese government respect workers' rights and end police violence.

Please take a moment to send off your message of protest:

And please spread the word in your union.

Thank you!
