Amnesty International is campaigning for a lasting human rights legacy for the Beijing Olympics. AI will monitor the Chinese government's performance particularly closely in areas with a direct link to preparations for the Olympics, to core principles in the Olympic Charter and to promises of human rights improvements made by Chinese officials in 2001 at the awarding of the Games to China. AI will mobilize thousands globally to press the Chinese authorities to deliver a positive human rights legacy to the people of China by making substantial reforms in four key areas: (1) the death penalty; (2) punitive administrative detention and fair trials; (3) arbitrary detention and harassment of human rights defenders; and (4) unwarranted censorship of the Internet.
