A PLAZA, A STREET FOR TIBET In recent days the mayors of Gradisca d'Isonzo and Racale (Italy) and Grand Synthe (France) adhered to the campaign. There are now a total of 24 cities that have dedicated a street or plaza to a free Tibet as of July 2nd. ______________________________________________ CHINA/WEI JINGSHENG IS BEATEN BY HIS CELL MATE The famous Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng, who is serving a 15 year sentence in the Tangshan prison in Northeastern China, was beaten violently by his cell mate. The event occurred two weeks ago, but the New York based "Human Rights in China" only revealed the news today, explaining that Wei was seriously injured and that he requested that his family take legal action against the authorities responsible in the jail (...) Wei's family also spoke of his grave physical condition, who suffers from arthritis, high blood pressure and serious stomach problems. They condemned the fact that the prison authorities continue to deny Wei the medical attention he needs. Wei Shan

shan, the sister of the dissident, accused the government of Peking of confiscating a package she sent to her family from Germany. The package contained copies of Wei's book, a photograph of the dissident's nephew, hundred dollars and one hundred marks. The package never arrived.
