19.05.2007Čínští aktivisté za lidská práva píší MOVBrusel, 19. května 2007 - Koalice mezinárodních organizací na obranu lidských práv v Číně, včetně federace čínského demokratického exilu, posílá otevřený dopis předsedovi MOV Jacquesu Roggeovi, ve kterém ho vyzývá, aby MOV přivedl organizační výbor olympiády v Pekingu 2008 k odpovědnosti za absenci pokroku na poli lidských práv v Číně. Vzhledem ke slibům, které Peking činil při kandidatuře na pořádání olympijských her, připomíná dopis nutnost garantovat v Číně svobodu tisku a zamezit věznění čínských bojovníků za lidská práva v souvislosti s olympiádou. Dopis také vyzývá, aby MOV zastavil politické zneužívání olympijských myšlenek propagandou čínské komunistické strany. The full text of the letter follows below. Mr. Jacques Rogge President International Olympic Committee Château de Vidy 1007 Lausanne Switzerland Brussels, 16 May 2007 Dear President Rogge, As a coalition of native Chinese and Asian human rights defenders, and other supporters of human rights in China and Asia from around the world, we call on you to immediately hold the Beijing Organizing Committee (BOCOG) accountable for the lack of progress on human rights since 2001, when you awarded the 2008 Olympic Games to Beijing. We request that you make sure that in line with the Olympic Charter, BOCOG is immediately de-politicized. It must be run as a non-partisan non-political organization promoting Olympic ideals, including human rights and dignity. At this point it is an organ composed of Chinese Communist Party officials, interested primarily in the political propaganda abuse of the Games. We also request that BOCOG deliver on its promises of freedom of speech in China. Recent cosmetic improvements of regulations on international media operations do not counterbalance the continuing, and in many respects worsening, pressure on the Chinese media, and the increasing restrictions of foreign media availability in China. You know as well as we do that there is no freedom of the press in China. Finally, we urge you to personally plead for the immediate release of Ye Guozhu, the activist imprisoned and reportedly tortured in relation to the Olympic re-development of Beijing, and to make it clear to BOCOG that any further human rights violations related to the organization of the Games are unacceptable. With less than fifteen months to go and no improvement in sight, your action is needed now. We look forward to your response. Most sincerely, Forum for a Democratic China and Asia Federation for a Democratic China Olympic Watch China Rights Network Chinese Students and Scholars Organization in Germany Delegates of the 2007 conference on global support to China/Asia democracy in Brussels |
