Wednesday marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Even as the world commemorates the anniversary, there are reports that in China, citizens who challenge the authorities are being thrown into psychiatric hospitals and forcibly medicated. One Chinese citizen claimed he was lashed to a bed, forced to take pills and given injections that left him numb and woozy.
Andrew Nathan, an expert on human rights issues in China and professor at Columbia University, joins Martin Savidge to discuss the prevalence of such treatment, Chinese media coverage of the story and U.S. challenges to human rights abuses in China.
