Dear Sir/Madam, Demand to release Wu Guijun immediately. 我們深切關注被非法關押的工人吳貴軍，他是深圳迪威信工廠工人選舉產生的工人代表，自5月23日以來一直處於公安部門的拘押中。由於迪威信公司拒絕按照中 國相關勞動法規支付工人的遣散費和被拖欠的工資，工人們集體前往石巖鎮政府請願要求政府官員支持他們索償。在請願途中，吳貴軍先生遭到逮捕。另外，近來值 得警惕的事件是，8月廣州中醫大學第一附屬醫院的12名保安因被拒絕購買社保而舉行抗議，之後就一直處於警方的羈押中。這些案例是對工人基本權利的侵犯。 我們要求立即釋放被拘押的工人。 We are deeply concerned over the extra-legal detention of Wu Guijun, an elected workers’ representative at the Diweixin Product Factory in Shenzhen, who has been held by public security officials since 23 May. Mr Wu was arrested during a march by workers to petition district government officials in Shiyan, to seek their support against a company that has refused to act in accordance with China’s labour laws in respect of severance pay and wage arrears. In a further alarming development, 12 security guards at the First Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine have been held in detention since August following a protest against the employers’ refusal to buy social insurance for them. These cases represent an attack on workers’ basic rights. We urge the immediate release of these workers from detention. Wu Guijun could be charged with gathering a crowd and other public order offences which can carry a 5-year jail sentence. The case highlights the worsening crackdown on workers rights, strike action and free speech in China. Wu is 40 years old, with two children and two elderly parents to support. His wife is also a migrant worker earning just 2,000 yuan per month. For months he was refused access to family and even a lawyer. We are calling for: Release Wu Guijun – No criminalisation of workers struggle! For the right to strike! For independent trade unions in China! *We urge trade unions, workers organizations, students, community groups and others to send the protest letter or message to the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Peoples Republic of China to Malaysia, H.E.
