传大陆多个城市或发生致命光雾事件
据海外《博讯》网报导，江苏南京市去年8月曾发生致命“光雾事件”，造成至少8人死亡，但消息被官方封锁。而相关部门研究结果表明，大陆今年将会有几个城市（包括北京）可能发生光雾事件，但这个警告也被环保部门压住不报。
“光雾”是指有毒气体经过紫外线影响，产生光化学反应后的一种烟雾状大气污染。主要发生于夏天空气流动性差、日光照射强的时段，危险程度可能超过雾霾。据专家研究，光雾可以让人短时间内死亡。 1943年5月至10月，美国洛杉矶的“光雾事件”，曾夺去了400多人的生命。

Activist Joint Signature Campaign
The 12th CCP National People's
Congress (NPC) closed on March 18.
More human rights activists in China have
called on the NPC to ratify International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
BBC Chinese website reported that now over
600 human rights activists have signed the petition.
On March 18, organizers promoting the petition
have also launched a joint signing website
and e-mail campaign to invite people to join.
The first group of petitioners included Liang Wendao,
and former entrepreneur Ren Zhiqiang.
Beijing scholars Cui Weiping, He Weifang and Xu Youyu,
as well as Sichuan scholar Ran Yunfei also signed.
There are now more scholars and
public intellectuals joining the petition.
This includes professor Du Guang in the CCP Central
Committee Party School and former Director
Du Daozheng of Press and Publication Administration.
Hong Kong scholars Pan Yi, Chow Po- Chung,
Chen Jianmin are also in the list of signatories.
Hong Kong Contend magazine has said that
in recent years, many incidents involving firearms
have occurred in China, and caused casualties.
The Chinese authorities are worried that it may trigger
social unrest, so have not announced this publicly.
End of year reports from 2012 from the Ministry of Public
Security have indicated about the rise of armed groups.
13 regions in Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, and
Yunnan Provinces had underground armed organizations.
The groups activities are specifically against
local police, armed police and duty team.
Helicopter Banners Used in Protest
On March 18, freight drivers in Hanyang Arsenal
in Wuhan, Hubei Province, went on strike.
They were protesting the government's ban on
large trucks transporting steel through the city.
The protest crowds not only held banners on the road, but
also displayed banners from a helicopter hovering in the air.
According to Epoch Times News Network,
protesters used more than thirty large
trucks to block the gates of the arsenal.
Hundreds of people held banners in the streets to
protest, causing traffic disruption on Qintai Avenue.
It is reported that the workers in the production
of weapons also displayed banners by helicopter.
This attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Meanwhile, dozens of police cars and more than
one hundred riot police surrounded the scene.
There were some conflicts between the police and the public.
In the end, the authorities compromised, promising to deal
with the requirements of the drivers as soon as possible.
Toxic Optical Haze Occurs in China
According to Boxun network, fatal optical haze events
occurred in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province last August.
It caused at least 8 deaths. There was
an official blackout for any news about this.
The study results of the relevant departments
showed that there will be several cities, including
Beijing, that may have optical haze events.
This warning was also released by
environmental protection departments.
Optical haze refers to a smoke-like
atmospheric pollution of toxic gas.
This gas undergoes a photochemical reaction with ultraviolet.
It mainly happens with poor air circulation,
and sunlight is strong during summer.
Its degree of risk is likely to exceed pollution haze.
According to expert studies, haze could
cause deaths within a short period of time.
From May to October in 1943, optical haze events in
Los Angeles claimed the lives of more than 400 people.
