Make China keep its promise! "By allowing Beijing to host the Games you will help the development of human rights" - Liu Jingmin, Vice President of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Bid Committee, April 2001

China has failed to live up to its Olympic promise. Basic workers' rights continue to be violated and labour activists continue to be imprisoned. A significant number of labour activists remain in prison for their peaceful actions to defend labour rights. Some of these have been in prison since the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. In fact, ever since China's Olympic promise to improve human rights, more labour activists have been detained. Some have sentences extending well past ever the next Olympics in 2012.
