Summary

Urges: (1) the immediate and unconditional release of Wei Jingsheng and the dismissal of all charges against him; and (2) if he is not immediately released, that he be afforded all internationally recognized human rights and that his trial be open to the domestic and foreign press, diplomatic observers, and international human rights monitors; and (3) the State Department to make his release and the protection of his rights among its primary objectives in relations with the Government of China and to raise these issues in every available bilateral and multilateral forum. Recommends that Wei Jingsheng once again be nominated and carefully considered for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996.
