Gasparri: boycott the opening ceremony, free-Tibet activists arrested four I handled the opening bars of the Olympics in China. For some time the governments of many participating countries discussed the need to, just in 'during the games, a signal with respect to the Tibetan issue and the lack of application of human rights enshrined in the Treaty of Geneva in China.
the eve of the opening ceremony, Italy, Gasparri is to relaunch a political demonstration, asking the athletes not to participate. However, just by the majority came the first disappointment. The same former president and current president of the National Alliance Room, Gianfranco Fini, had to repudiate his party colleague, denied that the boycott would be an appropriate way to express political dissent in an occasion like this. Berlusconi himself was forced to appease the controversy by distinguishing the relevant policy from those in the sport.
Even the Italian athletes have their say. Many have claimed the importance for an athlete to participate in an event like the Olympics, adding that include sport in the voids of the policy is a mistake.
fact, this is the line of the CIO (Italian Olympic Committee), which with its president Petruccioli says that engaging in sports issues of international politics is an unsuccessful attempt to exploit.
The opposition Democratic Party, with former sports minister Giovanna Melandri, highlights the contradictions of the government "before accompanying our athletes with a government delegation and then ask them not to attend the opening ceremony."
Meanwhile, today, 4 free-Tibet activists (two American and two British), they managed to hoist the banner of protest against Chinese repression of Tibetan land in a few months ago. Chinese police have their work cut out in the dark all forms of dissent, both on the web (there is a continuous monitoring operation-censorship what is shown on the network) and in the streets. There are pictures, in fact, the fighting which some journalists present at the site would take place in the square Tienamen in a demonstration against the regime between demonstrators and police.
also difficult to really understand what happened that involved in the attack and killed 16 Chinese police officers. The government announced a few hours later, they had arrested "18 foreign agitators" who would head an Islamic group, already known for similar actions. However, reporters are missing the opportunity to check conditions and site of the (still not accessible to the press). Absent then the key elements required for a faithful reconstruction of what happened.
