Amnesty International For China & Olympic Games
Amnesty International released yesterday some viral animations (you can find them at the bottom of the post) highlighting the repression of peaceful protesters and the case of Huang Qi, a cyber-dissident who runs the www.64tianwang.com website. Huang Qi has been detained since 10 June when several men found him at a restaurant in Chengdu and forced him into a vehicle and too him and two of his organization volunteers,
Since then there no news of him and it is believed that he is in a very high risk of torture.
The number 64 on his web address is referring to the 4th day of the 6h month of 1989 when the authorities turned their guns onto peacefull protesters in Tiananmen Square.
On this post you also see some ads of Amnesty International calling to remember the human rights after the Olympics. The moto is “After the Olympic Games, the fight for human rights must go on.”

Rachelle Jackson, a Chicago nurse, performed a heroic act back in November 2002 by rescuing two police officers from their burning car. Six years later she found her self with a 10 month jail sentence accused of robbing, battering and disarming a peace officer, as one of the officers firearms went missing during the event. Of course she fought back with a lawsuit and the result was $7.7 million of compensation false arrest, malicious prosecution, coercive questioning and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
