Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Please sign and pass on this petition via myspace/facebook/craigslist/other blogs etc...I'll be reposting this one once a month or so...I've got another petition for people to sign, but I'll post that one next week.

China cannot be allowed to host the olympics if they are going to break so many international human rights laws. This is berlin 1936 ALL OVER AGAIN. They are intensifying their persecution to try and erase all traces of it. http://www.boycottccpolympic.org/ol/en/ol2.jsp#

 Please Sign this petition if you are against; organ harvesting of so called "political prisoners" for profit, the torture of those who have broken no law, slave labor, child labor, and psychological abuse (including testing unknown substances on those illegaly detained).

Petition

We, the undersigned, draw the attention of the International Olympic Committee to the following: Whereas, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the International community have noted increasingly deteriorating human rights conditions in China. Whereas, the recent report from David Kilgour, former Canadian MP and Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific and human rights lawyer David Matas, expose the horrific organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners by the communist regime. Whereas, the Chinese communist party has enforced a “gag order” on supporters of human rights in China including renowned lawyer Mr. Gao Zhisheng who is forbidden to speak to any media until after the 2008 Olympic Games. Whereas, the Olympic Charter states in part: “The goal of the Olympics is to place sports everywhere at the service of a harmonious development of man, with a view to encouraging the establishment of a peaceful society concerned with preservation of human dignity.” (Olympic Charter, article 30). Therefore to ensure that the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be conducted in true Olympic spirit and embody the principles of the Olympic Charter we urgently call on Mr. Jacques Rogge and his International Olympic Committee to: • Speak out against the Chinese regime's illegal human rights violations • Assure the rights and safety of all people including Falun Gong and human rights supporters if they wish to attend the Games without fear of being arrested, imprisoned or silenced.
