中国公益人士与世界肝炎联盟主席会谈常伯阳案
郑州亿人平机构 2014年9月11日
2014年8月21日下午，我国反歧视公益机构郑州亿人平发起人陆军在伦敦会见了世界肝炎联盟主席查尔斯.戈尔(Charles Gore)，双方谈及了郑州亿人平机构近况，包括近期郑州亿人平另一位发起人常伯阳律师被变换罪名抓捕的情况。亿人平是世界肝炎联盟成员。
陆军向戈尔主席介绍了常伯阳律师在病毒性肝炎方面的工作，尤其是对乙肝病毒携带者的帮助、以及参与发起了促进乙肝病毒携带者权益等公益工作的郑州亿人平机构。
陆军谈到常伯阳被拘捕案，帮助乙肝病毒携带者却遭遇如此不幸，陆军并向戈尔主席提交了相关文字资料。
根据陆军的介绍，常伯阳被抓捕案件正受到广泛质疑，例如，一些法定程序没有被严格遵守，而且常伯阳被警方拒绝会见律师，也违反了中国的法律。中国的116名乙肝携带者曾就此案致信郑州市公安局、司法局和律协，呼吁办案单位和看守所“依法善待常伯阳”。
世界肝炎联盟主席戈尔表示赞赏联盟成员抗击肝炎的工作，将会考虑如何在这一事件上提供协助。

Chinese NGO activist meets President of World Hepatitis Alliance about lawyer Chang Boyang’s arrest

According to Lu, it’s widely questioned that some of the procedures have not been followed correctly and Chang has been denied access to legal advice, which is against Chinese law. Lu also said that on June 11, 116 hepatitis B carriers and their families signed a joint letter to the Zhengzhou Public Security Bureau (PSB), Justice Bureau, and Bar Association, expressing their wish that the police unit handling the case and the detention center “treat Mr. Chang in a lawful manner.”
