Despite the fact that I have some sympathy for the AI's cause, it is clear to me, that the Chinese state did much more for the human rights, than this organization. China might get most attacks from Human rightists, but in the same time it is most immune to them, because of the overwhelming support from the people.

Worst Olympics ever!!!!

hmmm, sorry but AI was founded by Peter Benenson, an English lawyer and activist and has remained a sovereign NGO since its inceptions in the 1960s. Though they have worked with international organisations such as the UN and European Council on issues, AI has never been linked with national agendas or funding.
please get your facts right.

haha Amnesty International is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy which is a part of the US government
US government talks about Chinese human rights so that the spotlight will be off them
The US government has no regard for any human rights. Just lies and more lies.

I think they are both equally bad Prikly. It's useless arguing which one is worse. Obviously America puts more spotlight on China so that the spotlight won't be on them also.

two wrongs don't make a right...both governments are to blame, as are any that oppress their citizens, use torture etc...why argue over who's worst??

There should be respect for everyone's basic human rights. There should be fair trials. Justice and dignity for everyone! As far as censorship, China has a long way to go. Freedom... a long way to go, but no reason to stop fighting for it!! During the Beijing Olympics, I believe the Chinese tried to make things look better by covering up certain injustices. They don't want to look bad when the entire world is watching them. Also, to detain people for standing up to injustice is awful.
