Alliance condemns Beijing repression

The Liberal International, a global alliance of liberal and progressive democratic political parties, yesterday unanimously passed a resolution proposed by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Fan Yun to condemn China’s transnational repression against Taiwanese. The motion was passed on the first day of the Liberal International’s 209th Executive Committee Meeting in The Hague, Netherlands.

Fan, who is the Liberal International’s vice president and attending on behalf of the DPP, proposed an emergency resolution to support DPP Legislator Puma Shen (沈伯洋) and counter transnational repression.China’s Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau late last month listed Shen as “wanted” for crimes of “separatism” for promoting “Taiwanese independence.”

On Nov. 9, the state-run China Central Television aired a segment which suggested that Interpol should pursue Shen. The meeting in The Hague gathered nearly 170 representatives of liberal parties and democracy advocates from 48 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia, Fan said.
