Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 eleanore johnwedderburn Olympic games Wed, 6 Aug 2008 19:31:37 +0200 Dear John, Please find attached a copy of a letter sent to embassies today Warm regards, Eleonora SOS Saint Bernard Dogs - International Open letter to the government of the People Republic of China Today, 8th August 2008, while you celebrate with light and luxury the Olympics' start, we will fast and meditate in silence, away from the show, for the victims hidden behind the glamour: - for the suffering Tibetan people - for all those who were killed or jailed for their beliefs or conviction - for those who have been building the structures of the Olympics in unacceptable work conditions - for the millions of animals still treated and killed in the most inhumane way. (Since many years organisation all over the world ask you, to introduce an animal protection law !!!) Olympic Charter (the fundament of the Olympic Movement) Point 1: Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles Point 5: Any form of discrimination with regards to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement. In profound sadness Lausanne, 8th August 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
