They Didn’t Listen…

What did we expect?

It was pretty fucking obvious pretty early on that regardless of whom tried to get some clemency for Akmal Shaikh, that it was always going to fall on deaf ears.

Akmal Shaikh was murdered by the Chinese State sometime after 2.30am this morning.

Because that is what it was, and the Prime Minister should not be kow-towed into saying anything but that.

What we need to do now is to punish China in the harshest way possible.

  • We need to help get rid of the China friendly governments in Burma and Iran, where repression is dealt with by using weapons produced by China.
  • We must actively support the autonomous regions in Western China, Tibet in  particular in their continuing struggle for independence.
  • We must actively support those within China and Hong Kong who are looking for the country to move towards democratic reform.

There must be consequences – even if our government’s too scared to do it themselves.
