Human rights experts blast Amnesty report

Chinese experts on human rights studies gathered yesterday in Beijing to condemn the biased human rights report released by Amnesty International titled "People's Republic of China - The Olympic countdown - crackdown on activists threatens the Olympic legacy". The report aims to stir up problems for China's smooth hosting of the coming Beijing Olympics.

Liu Hainian, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of the China Society for Human Rights Studies:

"Some people in the international community are trying to attack China by condemning the government for its crackdown on the recent riots in Tibet; they totally forget that what the Dalai Lama wants most is to restore his serfdom in Tibet, which goes against the human rights of Tibetans."
