Keynote speeches from David Kilgour, former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific, and Australian senator Andrew Bartlett marked the commencement of the "International Forum: Human Rights in China and 2008 Olympics" at Taipei's Grand Hyatt Hotel on February 21. Over 100 political figures and human rights activists from 12 countries gathered to deliberate on how to motivate global powers to boycott the Beijing Olympics.

David Kilgour talked about the Chinese communist regime's anti-humanity crime of organ harvesting from thousands of live Falun Gong practitioners. Kilgour also touched upon the regime's support in the slaughter of 400,000 of Sudanese in Darfur. He said Beijing's persecution against Falun Gong and other religious groups goes against the Olympic Charter just as the Nazi regime had. "We must bring the Chinese communist regime to obey the Olympic Charter," he remarked.

At least some people dare to standup to China instead of just "whore'ing" themselves out to it for cheap crap.

US film director Steven Spielberg has withdrawn as an artistic adviser to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

In a statement, he accused China of not doing enough to pressure its ally Sudan to end the "continuing human suffering" in the troubled western Darfur region.



"At this point, my time and energy must be spent not on Olympic ceremonies, but on doing all I can to help bring an end to the unspeakable crimes against humanity that continue to be committed in Darfur."

He added: "Sudan's government bears the bulk of the responsibility for these on-going crimes but the international community, and particularly China, should be doing more."
