China using `prisoners as pawns'
Human rights groups yesterday accused China of using prisoners as political pawns and warned that the release of Uighur dissident Rebiya Kadeer did not mean Beijing has improved its rights record.

"We are extremely concerned that the release of Rebiya Kadeer will be cited as evidence of improvements in human rights as the European Union debates lifting its arms embargo on China," said Amnesty International's deputy director for Asia, Catherine Baber.

"Rebiya Kadeer's release does not alter the laws and practices regularly used by the Chinese authorities to detain and imprison individuals who peacefully exercise their rights to freedom of expression, association and other fundamental human rights."

So the dirty red communist bastard chinese pigs have found a better use for the body parts of prisoners than selling them! That's a step forward for Bush to cheer as a "model" for all the world to follow as aWol claims about the PI.

1. Hey dARKeR
You want world class prisoner abuse, you've come to the right place. Per capita, no one imprisons people like the good 'ole USA!

USA, USA, USA....blah, blah, blah.
