Another U.N. Cave-In. Look how this U.N. Human Rights Commission hearing on China ended:

“During his speech on April 5, 2005, with previous agreement from both the Commission secretary office and the UN security guards, Rev. Bob Fu displays and demonstrates an electric-shock baton smuggled out of China recently [pictured here]. It was made in China used by the Chinese police and interrogators to torture victims of religious victims. However, the Chinese delegate immediately registers a complaint to UNCHR that the electric baton made them ‘feel threatened’. Then Both Rev. Bob Fu ’s UN badge and the electric baton were taken away by the UN security officials without giving any explanation. Rev. Fu was ordered to leave the UN complex immediately. At the same time, according to those who were present there, for about an hour, China uses the plenary floor attacking A Woman ’s Voice International and threatening to shut up all the NGOs. China demands apology from AWVI and Bob Fu.”

More on Rev. Bob Fu’s China Aid Association here. I wasn’t there, of course, but to call merely displaying a Chinese-made shock baton a security threat seems like a pretty lame excuse to shut down debate, particularly given that security guards must have let the thing in in the first place.

I’ve previously blogged about how in the new China, power comes from the tip of a cattle prod. They’ve used them against North Korean refugees, too. HT: Arthur Chrenkoff.
