The real China before Olympic Games/奧運前的中國真相

The real China before Olympic Games

Chinese human rights lawyer Teng Biao and human rights activist Hu Jia published an article on human rights situation in China.

In the article, it says 1.25 million people had to move out from their homes by force due to construction projects for the Olympic stadiums.There are also incidents of forced-demolition of people』s property in Shen Yang, Shanghai, and Qin Huang Dao, where other stadiums are constructed for the Olympic Games. The Communist regime stops, detains and forcefully sends back the appealers with the excuse of building up good images for the cities. It also detains the human rights activists, dissidents and writers who are not afraid to tell the truth. The Communist regime also suppresses the freedom of belief.

Hu Jia told Sound of Hope Radio, the Beijing authorities think the human rights activists and their voices are the biggest threat to them before the Olympic Games. They』re trying to give the appearance of a harmonious society, so human rights advocates Gao Zhisheng and Chen Guangchen become their typical targets, as the authority wants to 「kill one to warn a hundred.」

Hu said (clip): 「They want to cover up social injustice and the dark side of the society by all means. It just likes a garden in a concentration camp. They only show people the garden, but behind the flowers and trees, there is brutal suppression and violent treatments towards the Chinese people.」

Clement Apaak, a well-known Vancouver human-rights activist who was hosting a press conference for the Global Human Rights Torch Relay campaign on Monday, said "When China was awarded the games, they made a promise to the international community to improve their human-rights policies but everyone has just forgotten about that. People [in China] should have the same rights as everyone else."


奧運前的中國真相

北京維權人士胡佳和律師籐彪發表文章「奧運前的中國真相」，文章中舉出大量中共當局為了奧運工程侵犯公民人權的事例。

文章說，有125萬人因為奧運場館建設而被迫遷離家園，青島、 瀋陽、上海、秦皇島等奧運分賽場，都有強制拆遷的情況發生。政府以樹立文明城市形象的名義大量阻截、關押、強迫遣返上訪者、乞丐、流浪者，將其中一部分人超期關押在所謂的「救助站」，或者直接投入勞教所。

文章還說, 中共繼續羈押迫害人權捍衛者、異議人士、敢言作家記者, 並繼續壓制宗教自由。胡佳在接受希望之聲國際廣播電台採訪時說, 當局認為人權活動人士及其聲音是最大的威脅。他們要營造和諧社會的外表，所以人權捍衛者高智晟` 陳光誠成為打擊目標，以達到「殺一敬百」的目的。　

胡佳說 「他們盡可能掩蓋社會不公及社會陰暗面。就像是一個在集中營裡的花園，它只讓人看到花園，但是沒看到花叢背後，那些受到殘酷的鎮壓，暴力對待的那些老百姓的生存狀態。」

溫哥華知名人權活動家Clement Apaak在星期一的」奧運人權聖火」新聞發佈會上表示,中國被授予奧運會資格時,當局承諾要改善人權; 但是人們已淡忘了這一點。中國人民應該和其他人一樣享有人權。
