| “We
believe that China will change by opening the country to the
scrutiny of the world through the 25,000 media who will attend
the Games.” - Jacques Rogge,
President of the International Olympics Committee (IOC)
Despite Beijing’s pledge to improve its human rights
record before the 2008 Games, the repression has deepened,
not lessened because of the Olympics. As the international
spotlight will shine on Beijing this August, we have a unique
opportunity to engage the global community in dialogue about
the human rights violations in China and highlight the oppression
in Tibet.
WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR TIBET DURING THE OLYMPIC GAMES?
Raise a Tibetan flag
Raise a Tibetan flag and your friends, family and co-workers
will ask about it. It's a simple yet powerful act. Awareness
begins with dialogue and there’s no better time than
now.
If you are a Facebook user, please post your photo of the
flag you've raised in our group.
