After reading this article, i feel that UN chief's Ban Ki-moon is facing enormous pressure with the two problems that is facing agaisnt him, one would be the Rights group that criticized him on his failure to mention on the case of the jailed Nobel Peace Prize Winnter, Liu Xiaobo. The other problem would be his reelection which there is a possibility that China's president, Mr Hu Jintao has a important part in it. I infer that China's president could have pressurized the UN chief's Ban Ki-moon to choose if he either ones to play a part in the human rights or be reelected again next year.
In addition, Mr Ban's spokesman stated that Mr Ban did not raise a question or suggestion on human rights when he had the discussion with China's president. Then, there was a contradiction that the UN released a statement saying that Ban did discuss human rights 'with other Chinese leaders', which led me to be very puzzled as to what was going on.
Furthermore,almost 40 people have been detained in China after Liu Xiaobo had been detained. Liu Xiaobo is a pro-democracy activist thats currently serving an 11 year jail term for subversion. He was then awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 8, according to the Human Rights In China group. I feel very angry by the fact that Liu Xiaobo was just standing for his own rights and should not be convicted for subversion, furthermore the jail term consists of 11 years.
