【新唐人2015年2月13日讯】北京民众持续签名声援法轮功学员
今年的1月份，北京地区首次出现民众签名按手印营救法轮功学员事件，目前，这股热潮持续不断，第二批签名人数又达215人，范围也扩大到北京的多个区县。
知情人士表示，北京民众声援法轮功学员是一个标志性的事件，虽然在人数上，不像其他地区经常是成千上万，但是发生在中共控制最严的首都，却有着不同的意义，说明中国大陆全民反迫害的趋势不可阻挡。
新闻自由度：中国倒数第五
总部设在巴黎的“记者无国界”组织，2月12号，发布2015年度全球新闻自由度报告，中国在180个国家和地区中排在第176位，位列倒数第五，新闻自由度排名仅高于叙利亚、土库曼、北朝鲜和厄利垂亚。海峡对岸的台湾排在第51位，在亚洲国家和地区中排名最高。
“记者无国界”美国办事处负责人戴尔芬•哈尔根（Delphine Halgand）表示，中国排名倒数的原因是，中国是关押记者最多的国家，并且采取多种手段限制信息流通。
缅军攻华人区 10万难民涌云南
与中国云南相邻的缅甸北部2月9号爆发战事，缅甸政府军攻打以华人为主的果敢特区，烧杀虏掠。十几万难民逃入中国云南省。北京当局只安置难民，但是却拒绝出面制止缅军的杀虏行为。
2月10号，85岁的果敢华人武装总司令彭家声发出公开信，“泣血告全球华人”，指责中共抛弃果敢，令二千多平方公里华夏土地和臣民，蒙受异族欺凌，呼吁全球华人以同根同族为念，出手相助。
巩进军案审结 酷刑逼出假口供
河南鹤壁的访民巩进军被控刺死截访保安一案，2月12号第二天庭审审结，法官将择日宣判。
巩进军在最后的陈述中，说他是受到电刑丶夹手脚等酷刑折磨，为了保命，才在警方准备好的假口供上签字认罪的。在前一天的庭审中，巩进军已经翻供，否认杀人。

People of Beijing Continue to Support Falun Gong
The people of Beijing petitioned to rescue Falun Gong
practitioners with signatures and thumbprints for the first time
in January.
And the trend continues; the second batch of signatures has
now reached 215 and includes people from more districts
and towns in Beijing.
Some are calling it a landmark event for Beijing's people,
because although the number of supporters are smaller than
other areas in China where they number in the thousands,
it's a different meaning to have support in the capital Beijing,
where things are the most strictly controlled.
It means an unstoppable support against the persecution of
Falun Gong from people across the whole mainland.
Press Freedom: China Scores Bottom Fifth
Reporters Without Borders' (RWB) Paris headquarters released their
2015 annual report on global press freedom on Feb. 12.
China ranked the bottom fifth, 176th out of 180 countries,
just above Syria, Turkmenistan, North Korea and Eritrea.
On the other side of the Strait, Taiwan ranked 51,
the highest ranking among Asian countries.
RWB US director, Delphine Halgand says China ranked low
because it has detained the highest number of reporters
compared to other countries and has taken a variety of means
to limit the flow of information.
Hundreds of Thousands Flee to China From Myanmar Attack
Myanmar's government army attacked predominantly
Chinese in the Kokang area neighboring China's Yunnan
on Feb. 9, burning and looting.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees fled to Yunnan,
but Beijing refused to stop the army's killing
and only resettled the refugees.
On Feb. 10, the chair of the Chinese forces commander,
85-year-old Peng Jiasheng issued an open letter written with
tears and blood to Chinese people around the world,
criticizing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for
abandoning more than 2,000 square-kilometers of land
with its people, and allowing Chinese to suffer.
Gong Jinjun Denies Murder: Tortured for False Confession
The case of Gong Jinjun, a petitioner from Hebi City, Henan,
tried for allegedly stabbing a security officer
concluded on the second day of trial on Feb. 12;
the judge will pass sentence on another day.
Gong Jinjun said in his final statement that he was tortured
and suffered electrocution, clamping of hands and feet, etc.
He said he had signed a false confession prepared by police
in order to save his life, and denied murder.
