Article 34 All citizens of the People’s Republic of China who have reached the age of 18 have the right to vote and stand for election, regardless of ethnic status, race, sex, occupation, family background, religious belief, education, property status or length of residence, except persons deprived of political rights according to law.
Article 35 Citizens of the People’s Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration.
Article 36 Citizens of the People’s Republic of China enjoy freedom of religious belief.
Unfortunately, all these civil rights exist on paper only. In reality, any actions that Chinese citizens take to ask the government to fulfill the promises of the constitution are brutally suppressed. We sincerely hope that you urge the Chinese government to respect and follow their constitution.
It is high time for Mr. Xi Jinping to promote political reform in China, starting with the acceptance of opposition, the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners (including Liu Xiaobo, Wang Bingzhang, Gao Zhisheng and Xu Zhiyong), and by allowing exiled dissidents to return home freely and without further persecution.
Thank you very much in advance for your attention and support!
Sincerely,
