admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 13:55:34 +0000

20 years after the Tiananmen square protest and subsequent masacure we still don’t know what happened to this brave and defiant man, who stood alone to confront a column of tanks.

Sign the Amnesty International’s campaign and ask the Chinese government to reveal the truth about Tianames square.

If you still haven’t watched the Amazing Tank Man documentary you can watch it in Youtube in 8 parts (Part one).

Olympics values

Beating peaceful protestors does not uphold the Olympics values
Amnesty International (UK) has launched the second video of “Human Rights For China” campaign. They’ve used the viral launch to highlight the case of Huang Qi, a 45 years old cyber-dissident who runs the www.64tianwang.com website and has been detained since 10 June. Huang Qi was having dinner at a local restaurant in Chengdu with two volunteers from his organisation, the Tianwang Human Rights Centre, when several men – believed to be plainclothes police – forced them into a vehicle and took them away. Since then no-one’s been able to see him or speak to him: which means he’s at real risk of torture.

The 2008 Summer Olympics will take place from 8-24 August 2008 in Beijing, while China still remains one of the countries with most human rights abuse in the world and it is the biggest prison for journalists and cyber-dissidents. This Olympics is a good chance to pressure the Chinese regime to respect the human rights issues. China’s hosting of the Olympics provides it with
a unique opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to human rights Amnesty International has a campaign to make sure that this opportunity does not pass by without notice, action
and sustained improvements. Here are the links for Amnesty.uk and amnesty.de campaign pages, you can go to these pages and take action.
