Human rights lecture not needed

Chinese citizen Ai Weiwei is now under investigation for suspected economic crimes. The Daily Telegraph, London, carried an article, "China must set Ai Weiwei free", by Salman Rushdie on April 20, along with bigger article. Both unjustly criticized the Ai Weiwei case. This is a blatant interference in China's judicial independence and violates the country's judicial sovereignty. This cannot and should not be accepted by any sovereign country.

China is a country under the rule of law. The basic rights and freedoms of Chinese citizens, including freedom of expression, are protected by the law. Chinese citizens can express their opinions and aspirations through many channels.
