Save the Olympics

Are the Beijing Olympics a cruical chance to persuade China's leaders to support dialog and human rights in Tibet?

Well, I don't know. But only inside of China we can show the Chinese people what we really think about their Tibet politics.

The Avaaz team says, that China wants the Olympics to be a coming out party for a newly modern, powerful, and respectable nation. But the Olympics are about humanity and excellence--we can't celebrate them in good conscience while ignoring the suffering of Tibetans and others.

So Avaaz is launching a major new campaign: SAVE THE OLYMPICS. We'll ask China to save the Olympics for all of us, by making specific, reasonable progress in dialog with the Dalai Lama, securing release of Burmese and Tibetan political prisoners, and supporting peacekeeping in Darfur.
