Message | I was born in Beijing and grew up there. Like a lot of other Beijingers, I wanted Olympics, because I hoped our lives would get better, and the human rights condition would improve. But experience shows it's not the case. The closer it gets to the Olympics, the more oppressive the government gets. People have lost their houses to the new roads and new buildings. Olympics should only be held in China when:
Christians, Tibetan Buddhists, Muslims, Falun Gong practitioners and believers of other religions are free. People can vote for the leaders of the nation. No more prisoners of conscience. There is freedom of press and speech. Taiwan can choose whether they want to be independent or not via a referendum. ETC.
We want human rights first, then Olympics. |
