After a recent graduate was forcibly disappeared on the campus of PKU on November 9th, current students were warned that from now on anyone who demonstrated on behalf of those missing or handed out leaflets "would not be protected".

In late October, China watchers asked whether the appointment of a former Beijing state security official to lead Peking University meant the end of its illustrious activist history. The last few days look a lot like an answer. https://t.co/A13YzUluU1

Over a dozen of young activists who took part in a national campaign for workers’ rights in China are missing, in what appeared to be an effort by the government to silence one of the most visible student protests in years.

Workers’ call for lung disease compensation met by violence

“No one cares about whether we lived or died after the scuffle broke out. So more than 100 of us went along the road to a bridge. We wanted to jump off the bridge together,” he said.

A video about silicosis's petition from November 6th to 8th in Shenzhen.

URGENT! This morning, in Beijing, 10 students from Peking, Remin, and Peking Language U staged a small demonstration in front of Apple Store to protest against student intern and yellow union issue in its supplier. A student was taken away by the police! @SixthTone @EliDFriedman

After the picture was taken, police went to the students and one student has been taken away by policemen

[SACOM @SACOM_HK]

This is outrageous! Shenzhen police just used pepper spray on silicosis workers who demonstrated peacefully in front of the municipal government building! The workers felt difficulty to breath and fell to the ground! @SixthTone @suelinwong @chinalabour @NAR @bbcchinese @SCMPNews

[SACOM @SACOM_HK]

Silocosis workers are protesting outside the Shenzhen Municipal Government building, asking the mayor to have a dialogue with them. However, the mayor hasn't show up but more and more police is coming.

Wow! Last month SACOM exposed the illegal usage of student interns in Apple's supplier, and today, students of Remin published a public letter demanding Apple to stop exploiting students and having yellow union! U Students in solidarity with the vocational students! @YuanfenYang

Over a hundred silicosis workers are marching from Shenzhen Social Security Administration to the Shenzhen Municipal Committee to ask the government to pay back the compensation! @labournettv @labornotes @WorkerEmpower @chinalabour @SuedwindAustria @SixthTone

Ms. Zhang have petitioned to Shenzhen for over 10 times. Her husband passed away for silicosis in 2001, back them they used up all savings and in huge debt. These villagers became migrant workers out of poverty, but end up paying all the money they earned to cure the diseases.

Over a hundred silicosis workers, who built those skyscrapers and ravaged by lung disease, are protesting in social security administration in Shenzhen to demand for their compensation. More and more workers are travelling to Shenzhen to join the protest!
