AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL IS BANND IN CHINA

[bonito]

In my opinion Amnesty International & the ACLU are the strongest defenders of basic requirements for an environment that can sustain representation of a developing world in it's natural evolution toward a greater fulfillment for the planet as a whole, above all else there is nothing we can build upon for a sustainable future where the basic interests of all the people are not foremost in any plan, the only force that can defeat us, Is Ourselves, excluding any part of our population is in essence excluding everyone in the long run, we are an entity striving for survival on this planet and how we evolved can be questioned, and researched, but it cannot be denied we have evolved to this point together, it is in that spirit we must look forward as brothers and sisters in our grand journey of LIFE.

In China, you're banned from looking at the Amnesty International web site - even if you're a journalist covering the Olympic Games!

Yesterday, we wrote to you asking you to join Amnesty in urging President Bush to publicly condemn China's human rights violations before the Summer Games begin on August 8th.

Today, I'm asking you to make a donation to support Amnesty's work to fight these abuses and draw worldwide attention to China's broken promises.

Now, we've learned that a day after Amnesty International issued a comprehensive report on how the Chinese government was failing to live up to its promises on human rights, the Chinese government shut down access to our web site - even for foreign reporters in Beijing to cover the Olympics.

Internet censorship for the people of China is nothing new, but the Olympics were supposed to be different. When China bid for the Olympics in 2001, it declared that it would "give the media complete freedom to report when they come to China" if the International Olympic Committee (IOC) selected Beijing to host the Games.
