Shame! Shame! Shame on China! -- No Ethics? No Olympics! （Human Rights
Without Frontiers International）
Ladies and gentlemen,
Once more, the blood of Tibetan Buddhists has flowed in Lhasa after five
days of peaceful protests in memory of the anniversary of the 1959
rebellion against Chinese occupation. Whether the victims number 10, 80,
100 or more, China’s resort to violence shows once again that Chinese
leaders have not abandoned the methods of the 1989 Tiananmen Square
massacre.
On the eve of the Olympics Beijing is being besieged by its own failures
on the Tibet issue and on a wide range of other fronts, revealing gaping
cracks of hypocrisy in its wall of pretended social harmony.
A wave of international outcry has joined the wave of protests that
broke out in Tibet and in neighbouring provinces. New voices in favour
of a boycott have added further to ethical stands previously taken by
high-ranking personalities and celebrities.
