Breaking News – 226 Rightists demand Compensation and Justice from The CCP

On the 5th of March during the two sessions of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Jiang Wenyang wrote an open letter to the Central Committee of the CCP, the National People’s Congress and the State Council on behalf of 226 Rightists from Chongqing.

The letter said that the Anti-Rightist Movement launched by the CCP in 1957 was a huge disaster to the Chinese nation. All kinds of consequences were caused by it and have been unveiled to the world. 550,000 intellectuals had been labeled as so called Right-Wing Elements who were the most direct and unfortunate victims. Their grievances, suffering, blood and tears were shocking to the world.

The letter continued to state that nearly 51 years have elapsed, and the CCP, the initiators of the unjust incident, completely refused to admit its repentance by ignoring countless innocent lives. The CCP still insists that the Anti-Rightist Campaign was correct in the general direction and only magnified it.

Also, it questioned the incident and if 100% of the innocent perished by mistake, was the movement still considered correct?

In the letter they claimed that the CCP understood itself very well and that the nature of the campaign was not magnification but slaughter on the innocent individuals with the conscience of the nation, integrity, justice and morality.

As a group of survivors who sustained injustice for decades when facing the CCP refusing to admit its repentance, for the sake of justice in history, the future generations and the tens of thousands of perished lives, in their last years of their lives they finally called out to:

1. Strongly demand the CCP’s restoration of the true history that existed before the Anti-Rightist Movement which was a catastrophe and a singular injustice to the nation and the country, and which is by no means a Magnification;
2. Completely recover those victims during the campaign with justice;
3. Replace the withheld wages of the victims of more than 20 years and obtain the state compensation; and
4. Withdraw bans disallowing truth reports on the campaign.
