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 Olympic slogan is bringing together all people from different ethnic background to convey the message of equality and peace among all , i think by hosting the Olympics , China is definitely contradicting itself !

China's treatment of their own people who practise the peaceful art of Falun Gong meditation is a statement in it self of the lack of awareness or respect for human life & dignity. If they treat their own people this way, what hope do we hold that they care less about what they do to the Tibetians or what we think about it. I congratulate you on awarding the Olympics to China as this has highlighted the situation there & made it a much more public concern but is this all we can do? What of their own countrymen?

Personally I'm disgusted by the fact the Olympics are going to be hosted in China. The Olympics are about bringing people together from every country, no matter skin color, language, or religion to compete, to be able to compete as equals, and the fact that China doesn't allow basic human rights just goes to show that China doesn't respect what the Olympics represent.

I would like to take this opportunity to stand up the the Chinese Government and express my concern for their treatment of a cultural minority by not allowing them to express, celebrate or worship their individual uniqueness.
