End China's Human Rights Abuses in Tibet Before the 2008 Olympics
Target: Jacques Rogge, International Olympic Committee PresidentSponsored by: Care2.com
Although China is known around the world for violating human rights in Tibet, the International Olympic Committee chose Beijing as the site for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
Tens of thousands of Tibetans have been forced to leave their homeland due to the brutal Chinese occupation.
China's current policy toward Tibet includes:
Let China know that its successful Olympic bid does NOT mean the world sanctions its mistreatment of Tibetans! CALL ON CHINA TO END HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN TIBET.
Tens of thousands of Tibetans have been forced to leave their homeland due to the brutal Chinese occupation.
China's current policy toward Tibet includes:
- Imprisoning and torturing Tibetans who speak out against the Chinese occupation of Tibet;
- Violating religious freedoms, including abducting one of Tibet's most important religious figures when he was only six years old. The boy has not been seen since 1995;
- Failing to provide adequate education and health care to Tibetan children, and to eradicate child malnutrition and preventable illnesses; and
- Enforcing laws that discriminate against Tibetan identity, culture, and religion.

Slave labor, horrendous animal cruelty, genocide -- hmm, do you really think China should be given the honor of hosting the Olympics?

It's absolutely vile and horrendous what the Chinese have done to the Tibetans. To rapre, murder, torture and imprison anyone based on their religious beliefs or activities is absolutely disgusting and wrong. It must stop! If the United States was really interested in addressing global violence and "terror-ism" we would also seek to "liberate" the Tibetans from the murderous horrors that the Chinese have inflicted upon them!

This has gone on too long! As a super power on the world stage China should show more benevolence. America and china must be more considerate of other nations. End hurtful occupation today!

China should have its Olympic host status revoked until a proper int'l law institution states that it has stopped its brutal anti-Tibet policies and its oppression of other minority nationalities and workers' groups as well.

Why not let Disney build a Tinneman Square theme park- we can have the People's Army mowing down the Mousekiteers as a daily bit of theater?
# 80:
China must also be held accountable for the abuse of its own citizens, from illegal imprisonment to the use of prisoners for slave labor and body parts.
# 79:
The continuing abuse of the Tibetan people by China MUST end, now and forever!
# 78:
I hope that China stops what they are doing and shows some respect towards such a great peaceful nation.
# 77:
The Olympics will bring the spotlight of the world to the plight of the people of Tibet.

Please do not have Olympics in China as long as they mistreat anyone inhumanely. The Tibetans have a long history of being a powerful spiritual people as well. Do not give China the time of day till the inhumanities stop!

The Olympics is supposed to be about building good will among nations, not building the bank accounts of international corporations.

Not only do I deplore the treatment of the Tibetan citizens, but also the abhorrent animal treatment practices occurring in China (see http://www.hsus.org/). As things stand, I am boycotting all Chinese products.

The olympics represent people coming together to compete in the spirit of reaching the highest levels of achievement humanity is capable of. To allow China to host this symbolic event while they continue to deny the most basic human right of freedom to a whole country is not right. I will not watch/support the 2008 Olympics unless Tibet is freed, once and for all.

Happy landings!!

Pleae end your abuse of the Tibetans and give them back their rights and their home. You have no right to do what you're doing to them.
# 60:
# 59:
You must end these egregious human rights violations forever! Not just before the Olympics; but Now, and AFTER the Olympics as well!!

Buddhists are my friends. Nobody abuses them unless they go through me first. I'm heading to China to straighten out the government myself. Who is coming with me?

I want the human rights abuses of Tibetans by the Chinese to end.
