“The US Supreme Court has declined to take up a case examining whether a Chinese national should be granted political asylum in the United States because his wife was forced to abort their first child under China’s harsh population-control measures. The action, announced on Monday, means that lower court rulings rejecting the Chinese citizen’s asylum claims remain in place. At issue in the case was whether the spouse of someone who had suffered directly under the Chinese program — enduring a forced abortion or sterilization — could claim political asylum in the US.” (05/13/08) Link: http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0513/p25s07-usju.html Filed under: PND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
