Olympics veneer can't hide China's atrocities

Human rights activist Rushan Abbas, whose sister is imprisoned in China, discusses the regime's 'genocidal crimes' on 'America Reports.'

On Friday, the Olympic torch will be lit in China’s capital. It will be a spectacular opening ceremony, with thousands of participants filling the Bird’s Nest.  

Its choreography will be innovative, its artistry unprecedented. Its message will be moving, socially conscious and environmentally aware.   

And not a single American government official will be there to see it.  

THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE'S BEIJING HYPOCRISY

We are sending our regrets to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), refusing to join Games hosted in their capital city.  

Why? 

A million Uyghurs, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz are locked away in gulags; they are raped, tortured with electric batons, sterilized, and forced into abortions.  

Taiwan’s sovereignty is continually threatened.  

Hong Kong’s democracy strangled. 

There, and across the CCP’s domain, dissidents, whistleblowers and protesters have been apprehended, imprisoned without trial, persecuted, and reeducated. Free speech is stifled, expression censored and religious freedom denied.  

The Olympic Games in Beijing, spit and polished, even carbon-neutral, may present the face of a humane and caring world power, but we are not fooled.
