At least there are those attempting to change things because of it (very unfortunate that someone had to die before something was done). But this explains much of it : [quote]Born in China, he entered the United States legally on a tourist visa. Mr. Ng stayed on after it expired and applied for political asylum. He was granted a work permit while his application was pending, and though asylum was eventually denied, immigration authorities did not seek his deportation for many years.[/quote] Well, he was staying in the US, through his own decision, illegally. He knew it, as well. The consequences of his decision are surely severe, and totally unjustified, certainly. But there can be no doubt that his decision was the reason that these consequences took place. IMHO, this is much different than the type of Human Rights violations that China, Russia, and especially North Korea practice on a routine basis on their Citizens. In those cases it is a systematic process that is deliberately being practiced, whereas when such cases happen in the US, they normally are examples of the system-gone-wrong (and needs fixing). In the case of the Cuban retainees, however, that is probably not true (incarcerated in prison without any rights). I do understand that they made the choice to come to the US, illegally, and that ultimately that choice led to their situation. It still does not excuse the handling and proceedures being used to deal with them (and they don't in the case of Mr. Ng, either). But those examples are far, far different than that which is practiced in countries like China, Russia, and especially North Korea.
