The Human Rights Issues of China

  Their are some things happening in China that you may have never guess. From confession session using torture to illegal detentions, these are some of the things that are happening in China. China did an effort on stopping the use of torture in the confession but when the program expired nothing had changed. the tortures were constantly used and were accepted by some judges as proof of guilt. Maybe they are or maybe there not, but that's not the correct and human way to make a person confess. Because, in the end, we are all humans and you wouldn't like to be treated that way so why treat other people like that. This actions are against article 5 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which say that no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. 
   Another of the human right issues in China that are violated are articles 1, all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, and article 3,everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. This two articles of the human rights are been violated by the use of illegal jails or "black jails", as commonly known in China, and the illegal detentions. This detentions are made by the police in Beijing when a civilian comes to complain to the State Bureau for Letters and Calls. They don't tell the people why are they detained. They just take them to an isolated area, take their possession, and beat themup. Some never know why the are beaten.
 Finally I will finish talking about the restriction of medias in China. This is a violation of article 19 which indicates that everyone has a freedom of speech and opinion no matter the type of media your using, Now China has been censoring some of the known medias like Google, CNN, and many others with the propose of not loosing their authority. But as a result of this the Chinese people are revolting and loosing their trust on the government.In the end, trying to have control over the people they ended up loosing it.
