The Human Rights Torch Relay is an international campaign that seeks to bring an end to all human rights abuses against the people of China, while highlighting the persecution of Falun Gong - the most severely persecuted group in China today. During the run up to the 2008 Olympics, the HRTR will host events in 37 countries across six continents to present its message: The Olympics and crimes against humanity cannot coexist in China.

The Tibetan, Burmese, and Vietnamese communities, the Darfur Support Network (Sudan), Chinese democracy groups, student groups, former Olympians, and representatives from sports and politics are among the relay participants.




Background

Since China was chosen as the 2008 Olympic site, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Reporters Without Borders have all reported a marked increase in violent repression aimed at silencing groups and individuals the CCP has labeled as enemies.

In June 2005, China's deputy public security minister Liu Jing was given the job of eradicating Falun Gong before the 2008 Olympics.

In April 2006, a secret and unprecedented espionage directive revealed CCP plans to investigate and bar thousands from the 2008 games, including International Olympic Committee members, staff and guests; sponsors; referees, athletes and delegates; media; the Dalai Lama, the handicapped, land rights activists, and anyone who falls within 43 categories of "unwanteds."

Deeply concerned about the Chinese regime's worsening human rights record and, in particular, its horrific treatment of Falun Gong adherents, on June 8th 2007, the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) sent a letter to the communist leadership asking them to stop the persecution of Falun Gong and to allow CIPFG entry into China to investigate the persecution and the issue of mass, state-sanctioned organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners. Not unexpectedly, there was no reply. CIPFG believes that the CCP has confirmed its unwillingness to be transparent and to respect human life; therefore, CIPFG initiated the Relay, which kicked off on August 9, 2007 in Athens, Greece. The event is traveling in Europe, Australia, Africa and South America before coming to the U.S. in March, 2008.

bbjolin: Your view is not Chinese view but the similar view of a few who try to cling to power and made the excuse that it is the Chinese view. When you say Chinese you only based it on your personal opinion, not the opinions of the majority of the people because the people are not allowed to talk freely anyway.

[bbjolin]

I'm not saying which is better or worse, it's just different, deep in the culture, deep in every Chinese's hart.

Maybe that's why some western points of view and so-called "human rights" doesn't apply to Chinese people. Try to force Chinese to accept all of the western views without understand the Chinese is just retarded.

[bbjolin]

n Chinese, Family name comes before the given name , while the westerns say their given name first ;

Once a Chinese introduce herself, she always says I am Beijing's (Shanghai's, etc), then plus her name, while the westerners always say "I am xx, from New York" ;

Chinese usually put their individuals into a bigger concept -- Family, Team, Party, Nation etc, while the westerners tend to put their individual value in the first place.

White people has been trying to preach Chinese to be Christians, take democratic route. You know what? Little to none has any Chinese ever assimilated to their nonsense since 1880s. All of this is trying to obtain sovereignty trying to get closer to China and spy thinking that China is gonna build WMD and bomb everyone. Give me a break. You white people needs to worry about your own government because what i know you're the real terrorist in the eyes of Iraqis right now.

[formosarepublic]

台灣國支持偉大的西藏人民。

支那共產人渣在中國連個屁都不敢放，

到了自由國家除了喜丟人現眼講一些人不合邏輯的話，

和幹一些見不得人的事，實在是比廚餘還沒有貢獻。

共產人渣比癈渣還沒剩餘價值，滾回獨栽家園吧。

Why british, french and germany not support Quebeque's seperation from Canada? They don't care about Tibetan people, their real intention is to invade China and India. The Dalai Lama is the only hope for these "lost old empire" to colonize China again.
