The Olympic Torch Will Pass Through San Francisco
|
|
It's my opinion that, by virtue of its poor record on human rights, China does not deserve the honor of hosting the Olympic Games in Beijing.
Documented abuses include:
1) Chinese occupation of Tibet is an effort to destroy their religion, culture and people.
2) Christians are jailed and tortured for their faith.
3) Products for export are made by child slave labor.
4) China is funding the genocide in Darfur.
5) Organ harvesting from Falun Gong is big business.
6) China imprisons more reporters, and executes more prisoners, than any other country in the world.
The Olympic Torch will pass through San Francisco on its way to Beijing on Wednesday, April 9th and I hope my friends and neighbors around the Bay Area can find the kind of courage we saw in Tiananmen Square during the pro-democracy movement of 1989 when the military crackdown left thousands of Chinese civilians dead. Rallies and demonstrations are being organized around the City and we have to stand up and be counted. We owe it to more than a billion people living under this oppressive government.
Who, what, where and when:
1) GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS TORCH RELAY www.HumanRightsTorch.org
Saturday, April 5th at 11 AM in Union Square.
2) TIBET RALLY & CANDLELIGHT VIGIL
Tuesday, April 8th at 6PM, U.N. Plaza, 1150 Market Street
3) OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY
Wednesday, April 9th at 1PM, The relay starts at McCovey Cove (ballpark) and moves along the Embarcadero to Fisherman's Wharf and back to Justin Hermann Plaza accross from the Ferry Building.
