From Swissinfo:
The Swiss section of Amnesty International has launched a campaign for better respect for human rights in China, ahead of next year’s Olympic Games in Beijing.
At a congress on Saturday in Locarno in southern Switzerland, Amnesty started collecting signatures for a petition to be handed in to the Chinese embassy in Bern six months before the event.
The campaign, which runs under the slogan: “Human Rights on the Podium”, has four demands – the abolition of the death penalty, the abolition of re-education camps, the lifting of internet censorship and a halt to reprisals against defenders of human rights.[Full Text]
