Violations of human rights in China
"According to the U.S. State Department's annual human rights report, Falun Gong prisoners are required to work long hours daily in "extrajudicial reeducation-through-labor camps." Others are placed in psychiatric facilities or special deprogramming centers. In addition, human rights groups allege that detainees are often deprived of food and water, are denied bathroom facilities, and are sometimes forbidden to sleep. The State Department report adds that several hundred Falun Gong adherents reportedly have died in detention due to torture, abuse and neglect."

Fair use rationale for Image:HRIC-logo.gif
Image:HRIC-logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Regarding NED Funding
The NED funding is interesting and critical, given the infamous nature of the organization. Unless this information is fake (which prior to removal specific reasons needed to be discuss it here), this information should stay and should not be removed. Coconut99 99 (talk) 21:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Makes sense, but a few questions: why is it just a plain quote of several paragraphs? Where is the actual criticism? (it just seems to be expressing these links, except it's identified as "criticism"?) And also, why is it so long and seemingly without a punchline or anything to help the reader understand the relevance of these dynamics? This final point is important I think--the information needs to be useful. Anyway, apart from that, sometime soon if there's no good reason to have it so long and no reason to rewrite it in normal prose, I can do that (shorten and rewrite/unquote).--Asdfg12345 13:20, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

It's worth mentioning the organization's funders,and the NED is one of many. However, I second the point that there is basically no actual criticism being expressed in the quote--it seems like a classic attempt to tar the organization using guilt-by-association; the author (speaking of which, who is Michael Barker and why is an authoritative source? An online search only reveals that he is a PhD student with no particular credentials)insinuates that the organization is involved in some kind of unsavory activity based simply on its links with the NED. Barker's opinions seem entirely his own; I haven't been able to find a single article in any credible source that echo the same "criticism" of HRIC. Again, pointing out that the organization receives funding from the NED is ok, but we should be careful in what we include, lest we end up publishing the articles of every graduate student with an opinion on a topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.164.56.163 (talk) 01:56, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
