Uma carta

Os Jogos começaram e cerca de 100 atletas escreveram ao Presidente chinês


Dear Mr. President Hu,

We all hope that the Olympic Summer Games in China will be a great success and that the Olympic ideals will come to life. That is why we are asking you:

* to enable a peaceful solution for the issue of Tibet and other conflicts in your
country with respect to fundamental principles of human rights.

* to protect freedom of expression, freedom of religion and freedom of opinion in yourcountry,
including Tibet.

* to ensure that human rights defenders are no longer intimidated or imprisoned.


* to stop the death penalty.


China is the focus of worldwide attention. Your decision on these issues will determine the success of the Olympic Games and the image the world will have of China in the future. We are asking you to respect human rights in China in order to achieve lasting peace and reconciliation.
