Tomorrow, Sunday 27 December 1998, Zhang Shanguang, a labour activist, will be tried by the Chinese state for organizing laid off workers. If convicted, Zhang will be executed. Zhang risked his life for the well being of his fellow workers. His execution would be a blow to the international labour movement. We expect our Prime Minister Jean Chretien to speak in defence of Zhang before it is too late.
Immediate action is imperative.
Help make this brave man's plight known. In solidarity, Alan Ward Secretary, New Democratic Youth of Canada ph. 879-3246 fax.
