On Sep. 14, 2007 Mao, Qingxiang one of the founder of CDP was realeased after serving 8 years in prison on the charge of “subverting the state power”. Mao stated that he does not regret his effort for democracy even that he was thrown in jail. His belief for democracy and freedom remains the same.
During today’s rally CDPWU members declared: Mao, Qingxiang served 8 years in prison and regain his freedom today. However more CDP members like LiHong(Zhang JianHong), Yan, Zhengxue, Chen, ShuQing, Chi, JianWei, Zhu, YuFu and Lu, Gengsong lost their freedom while pursuing the goal of freedom and democracy. They are willing to sacrifice for the cause of democracy; they are willing to devote all to the democracy and freedom of China.
In the upcoming 17th Congress and 2008 Olympics games, CDPWU Chairman Wang, Jun urged CCP government to comply with human rights conventions, immediate release of all detained Chinese democrats, dissidents and religious figures; With real actions to fulfill their promise of "democracy and the rule of law, create a harmonious society”.
