Youths willingly went to Mandela's home to escape abuse, witness says
The Associated Press
JOHANNEMBUD, South Africa — A witness in Winnie Mandela's kidnap and assault trial testified yesterday that the alleged victims volunteered to Mandela's home to escape abuse by a church minister.
The witness, Aubrey Nuxalmo, said he also was victimized by the minister at the Methodist Church home in Soweto, which housed homeless boys and men. Nuxalmo took the stand as defense attorneys tried to force the governor to make reason to remove youths from the home and that no force was used.
Nxumalo said he stayed at the church home from July 1988 to January 1989 and that several residents
"The four stood up and left without objecting." Numalo said.
On the evening of Dec. 29, 1988, a group of people arrived at the home and said they were going to take four of the youths away. Nxumalo said.
Prosecutors allege the four were forcibly taken from the home to Mandela's house that night and beaten so severely that their physical activity or spying for police. One of the four, Stompei Seipei, later was found dead.
Mandela and two co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to eight counts of kidnap and assault. If
convicted, they could receive anything from a suspended sentence to the death penalty.
Nxumalu said Falati was one of the people who took the youths away.
Mandela, the wife of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, said she was out of town at the time of the alleged crime. Co-defendant Xoliswa Falati testified that she brought the youths to the vacant Mandela home to protect them.
Prosecutor Chris van Vuuren questioned Nxumalu about why he did not leave the home if he was being marketed.
him finish school.
Nxumalo also said he stayed in the same bed with the reverend after the alleged abuse, but only because the reverend ordered it.
Falati and Mandela both have testified that they thought the youths were being victimized at the home and sought to protect them by taking them elsewhere. Mandela has said she was not aware of the alleged abductions and learned later that the youths had been brought to her house.
Earlier, another defense witness, Nora Moahloli, concluded three days of testimony by disagreeing with nearly everything on a police statement she signed.
U.S. will review China's trading status
But Chinese officials caution U.S. about bargaining for human rights
The Associated Press
BEIJING — Chinese officials, facing a U.S. review of Beijing's most favored-nation trading status, warned Washington yesterday not to try to win human rights concessions in exchange for the trade privileges.
Putting human-rights conditions on China's special trade status with the United States would hurt both countries, a Foreign Ministry representative said.
Obviously, it will not benefit the development of the bilateral relations between the two countries to
take the issue of human rights as a condition." Wu Jiainman said at a weekly ministry briefing "it will not only target people or the American people."
China's most-favored-nation trade status, which allows the lowest possible tariffs on exports to the United States, will come up for review in June.
President Bush is expected to extend the trade preferences, although Congress could overturn the rule if both chambers act within 30 days.
The House voted by a large margin last year to halt the trade preferences for China, but the measure died when Congress adjoined without action by the Senate.
Since China's violent suppression in June 1989 of the pro-democracy movement, critics of the country's human rights record have pushed for the favorable trade status to be revoked.
Some U.S. critics of the Beijing government say attaching human rights conditions to the trade status would force China to address international concerns regarding treatment of dissidents and prisoners, which China deems as undue meddling in its affairs.
Hundreds of people were killed when the Chinese army opened fire on student-led protesters urging the government to put the death toll in the thousands.
"It is obvious that China and the United States have different views on the issue of human rights because China and the United States have different situations, historical backgrounds and social values." We said.
A mounting trade deficit with China and concern about use of Chinese prison labor for export-producing goods in the Pacific for punitive purposes against China.
The United States also has warned China that it must eliminate piracy of computer software and other copyrighted works on its computers with prints on exports to the United States.
