Keep The Promise China

Amnesty International (Canada) has put together a blog for the countdown to the Beijing Olympics. This is a good place to look for:

- information regarding Amnesty's human rights concerns in China
- action opportunities
- information about what other activists are doing
- background documents and activism support materials

The blog is titled Keep The Promise China, so-named because of the promise China made when it was granted the 2008 Olympics Games:

“By allowing Beijing to host the Games you will help the development of human rights”
- Liu Jingmin, Beijing 2008 Olympics Games Bid Committee


There's a sidelink to subscribe for email updates. This is an excellent resource which I highly recommend that you visit often.

This is a terrific resource -- I was blogging today about the Olympics myself for World Press Freedom Day, in a post about Chinese suppression of the press. Also delighted to see the Blogging for Tibet info. It's gratifying to find a kindred spirit! (Found you on Blog Explosion, BTW.)
