WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration will not propose a U.N. resolution critical of China's human rights policy this year because of recent concrete steps by Beijing in the treatment of political prisoners and protection of religious services, U.S. officials said Thursday.

When most African countries were governed as one-party democracies, replete with press censorship, repression of opposition, secret police and political prisoners, President Bongo's Gabon fell in the majority. [...] if instant democracy is not the answer to the economic and social development problems in Africa, what should the U.S. government look to promote as the political additive that will stimulate economic growth and prosperity?

They include [Carlos Alberto Torres] (who was sentenced to 30 years) and Oscar López Rivera (sentenced to 29 years), as well as Avelino González Claudio, who was recently sentenced to seven years.

Torres' attorney, National Lawyers Guild member Jan Susler of Chicago, notes, "Carlos is being released from prison due to the unflagging support of the Puerto Rican independence movement and others who work for human rights.

YANGON, Myanmar - Hillary Rodham Clinton dined Thursday with former political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi, forcefully underscoring a U.S. challenge to Myanmar's leaders on her historic visit: The new civilian government must expand recent reforms, including the release of political prisoners, to improve relations as it emerges from more than a half-century of repressive military rule.
