【大.纪.元;2014年04月06日讯】3月30日广东茂名市上万民众和平请愿要求取消PX项目，遭到军警血腥镇压，大陆媒体集体对此消声。网络遭到全面封锁。此后连续几天爆发大规模警民冲突。警方施放催泪弹并开枪镇压，数十人死亡，伤者不计其数。
现在茂名全城被武装封锁，当局甚至出动了坦克和装甲车对付民众。外界媒体无法进入。有茂名市民发出求救信息：“全城被武装包围，人人诚惶诚恐，生命危在旦夕”。
为了声援茂名民众的正义行动，谴责中共当局的暴力镇压，总部设在美国的民主大学于日前在白宫网站设立了支持茂名民众抗暴的签名网页： http://wh.gov/ldAhg，呼请美国政府和国际社会关注茂名正在发生的暴力镇压，制止中共的暴行。签名网站设立后，引起了社会各界的强烈反响，已有超过800人在这份联署上签名。
我们呼吁大家行动起来，一起为茂名发声，对强权说“不”！
以下是签名信中英文：
“广东茂名民众因为抗议PX建设，于3月30日遭到政府武力镇压。坦克和武装力量封锁了城市，数十人遭到杀害。城市的互联网被切断，中国媒体被强令噤声。我们强烈抗议中共血腥镇压茂名和平抗议民众！要求国际社会介入调查，追究凶手责任！每一个签名，就是一份力量！”
“For decades, they have lived far below comfort zone with unbelievably exploited living standards, and became the world's cheapest labor for our material affordability. NOW! They are yelling for HELP! Their lives are being slaughtered because of a peaceful demonstration against building a PX chemical factory in their city. The people of Maoming City, Guangdong, China Is Under Military Massacre since March 30. Military tanks and armed forces have blockaded the city and killed dozens people. The city’s internet access have been shot down. The Chinese medias have been ordered to be silent.
The people broke through dangerous resistance coming to our country’s internet crying for help. Please help them to make their voice louder.”
