On Thursday, April 14, Executive Director John Kamm will be giving a talk, Recent Developments and Future Trends of Human Rights in China, at Delta Phi Epsilon, a co-ed professional foreign service fraternity, at University of California, Berkeley. The talk will address the crackdown on political rights in China over the last six months, starting with the government’s response to the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo and continuing with the response to calls for a “Jasmine Revolution.” Reasons for the harsh responses will be explored, opening the way to a discussion of likely developments in human rights as China enters a period of political transition and America readies itself for a presidential campaign in which China’s human rights will likely be an issue. The talk will begin at 7:30 p.m. at 6 Evans Hall, at the Berkeley campus.
