Do we support Chinese oppression

Sunday 6 April an Olympic torch parade takes place through London celebrating this summers Bejing Olympics. Part of this parade will be through Southwark from London Bridge to Tower Bridge. To ensure the ‘best possible’ Olympics the Chinese state has been increasing its oppression of any dissent. China doesn’t have a free press. It gives long prison sentences and tortures citizens who criticise it. The Bejing Olympics are clearly being used to provide propaganda material for China. The latest Tibet attempted uprising against Chinese occupation and the brutal retribution is just another example of how morally bankrupt the Chinese regime is.

I don’t see how we can morally support a parade through Southwark celebrating this summers Bejing Olympics.
