is anyone going to hold China to account on its promises. It promised that hosting the Olympics would improve human rights:
“By allowing Beijing to host the Games you will help in the development of human rights,” that was said by Liu Jingmin, vice-president of the Beijing Olympic Bid Committee, in 2001.
It has yet to happen
China is the world’s leading executioner and the biggest jailer of journalists and dissident bloggers. It uses torture and censors the Internet and the media.
Standing up for human rights is about standing up for the values enshrined in the Olympic Charter
