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.

The people of Tibet deserve to have the world, and the IOC, support their independence.

China must end its ruthless, barbaric oppression of the peaceful citizens of Tibet. Please urge them to sign a peace agreement with the Dalai Lama and end their brutal treatment of Tibet.

China had no right to invade Tibet in the first place, and rape them of their culture. Disgusting.

I will not be purchasing anything made in China that I can find manufactured elsewhere. This is the only way to impact China's human rights policies. Buying Wal Mart products supports China's policies against Tibet.

Please do not let politics and sports prevent you from keeping after China to practice basic human rights to the people of tibet...in your position you have that responsibility.

As a citizen of the United States, I might be deemed unworthy of condeming this behavior, but as a citizen of the world, I can say that I find all such politically motivated acts of cultural and environmental destruction, to say nothing of murders, reprehensible.
