"(Rutgers) University’s chapter of Amnesty International welcomed five experts last Thursday to discuss 'the real China' and speak about human rights violations in China. Over 100 attendees filled the Raritan River Lounge in the Student Activities Center for Amnesty International’s 2008 Report on China.

"Leeshai Lemish, London School of Economics’ Global Civil Society correspondent and researcher, discussed the deterioration of human rights in China and decried recent legislation, which he feels appears to be mere rhetoric.

'You can be executed for 68 different crimes, mostly non-violent ones,' Lemish said."
