Desmond Tutu Joins the Call for Olympics Boycott

Filed Under Tibet, Human Rights, China | Posted on April 28, 2008

Phayul reports that Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu is calling on world leaders to boycott the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. Tutu is quoted as saying:

The leaders of the free world, for goodness sake, don’t attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games until it is quite clear that they (the Chinese) mean business and that they will stop the violence against the Tibetans.

Let us make China know this is a moral universe.
