McAleese urged to protect activists
As President McAleese begins a nine day trip to China, one of Ireland's foremost human rights campaigners called on her to address the Communist State's human rights record.
Frontline director Mary Lawlor highlighted the case of several campaigners who are suffering at the hands of the Chinese authorities. Frontline, set up three years ago, works to protect and defend human rights workers in danger across the world.
