CIPFG比利時分團團長 讓‧龍尼斯(Jan Loones)的聲明

親愛的女士們先生們,

在過去的幾個月裡,媒體向全世界發表了一些令人不愉快的文章。這些文章描述了在籌備即將到來的2008年奧運會過程中,中國的居民被驅逐出家園,房子被沒收,農民們失去田地。每當這些人呼籲正義,「奧運需要社會安定」就被用來作為鎮壓他們的借口。很多人被打,被關押以及被判刑。他們的家人被迫害致死。

中國政府做過一些關於減輕對國內外新聞控制的承諾。卻幾乎見不到成效。舉個例子,外國媒體經常被拒絕介入一些敏感事件(不久以前,美聯社被拒絕參與報導一個環保活動家的事件)。

另外,中國政府對於藏人、維吾爾團體以及法輪功的迫害到現在已經持續很多年了。法輪功學員遭受的可能是最嚴重的迫害:活體摘除法輪功學員器官的非法貿易。這類事件可能正大規模的發生。數以千計的法輪功學員正被關進勞教所、監獄等等。正式渠道統計數字表明有超過3000多人被迫害致死。據中國當局內部人士透露,真實數據應該比這還要高很多。

我擔心把奧林匹克的舉辦權授予中國,這會在中國形成一個持續侵犯人權的局面。許多中國人認為這才是真正的災難。我們不能忘記,在把奧運會的舉辦權授予中國時,他們許諾要改善中國的人權問題。不難想像他們有著這樣的念頭:「國際組織整體上對這些暴行沒有什麼反應,相反,外國公司一直在我們國家投資,而且我們還被授予了奧林匹克的舉辦權。」

這就是我一直很擔心的原因:我們西方國家不去批評中國,等的時間越長,越只是注重與中國這個所謂新的「前程遠大的大陸」做生意賺錢,這樣中國的人權問題就永遠不會得到重視。

奧運會只能給共產黨帶來好處。而對於中國人民,甚至於連任何形式的民主都沒有。我們不禁要問,奧林匹克的目的到底是什麼呢?

不幸的是,似曾相識的故事令我回想起了1936年的奧林匹克。 那個時候希特勒之所以舉辦奧運就是想用它來粉飾自己的政權,而不是想為大眾造福。

我也獲悉已經有11000中國人支持舉辦人權聖火活動。對於這件事,我只想支持喝采。這個政府毀了幾百萬人的生命,還想用奧運去粉飾他們自己對權利的貪慾,它不配成為奧運的主辦國。

很遺憾今天我不能到場和你們在一起,但是我祝願人權聖火活動在柏林、慕尼黑、比利時、布魯塞爾、安特衛普、奧斯坦得、聖尼古拉斯 取得圓滿成功。

Statement of the Chairman of the Belgian delegation of the CIPFG

Dear madams and sirs,

The last couple of months media publicized worldwide some harrowing articles about Chinese citizens who are being evicted from their houses, who were expropriated or farmers who lost their lands in preparation of the upcoming Olympic Games of 2008. With every call for justice from these people social stability for the Games was used as an excuse to suppress them. Many of them were beaten, locked up and sentenced. Family members were being persecuted until death.

There were made some promises by the Chinese regime that the restrictions on inland and foreign press would be made easier. Little is being noticed in this area. To give an example, the foreign press is regularly being refused to attend sensible cases (a while back the access was being refused to Associated Press to attend a case of an environment activist.)

In addition there is the ongoing persecution of the Tibetans for years now, the Uighur community and Falun Gong practitioners. This last group of people encounters perhaps the most serious persecution : the illegal trade of harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. This practice would also be widespread. Hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners are being imprisoned in labour camps, prisons etc. Official numbers are mentioning more than 3000 people who are being killed due to the persecution. According to insiders among the Chinese state officials the real number should be much higher.

I fear that awarding the Olympic Games to the Chinese communist regime is a conformation of the constant human rights violations, which are being described as a real human rights disaster by many Chinese citizens. We can also not forget that with awarding the Chinese regime with the Olympic Games they made a promise to improve their human rights situation. It is not unimagineable that they have the following notion “The international community as a whole doesn’t react to these atrocities, on the contrary, foreign companies keep investing in our country and on top of that we are being awarded with the Olympic Games”.

That’s why I am worrying myself for some time now – and the longer the more – to the lack of criticism and mere moneymaking approach of the west and our country towards China, the new so called “promised land”, whereby it hardly ever pays attention to human rights.

These Olympic Games stress mainly the benefits of the Chinese party. For the Chinese citizens there is no single form of democracy. We can justly wonder what goal the Olympic Games aims at.

Similar stories remind me with disturbance to the Olympic Games in 1936. Back then it was Hitler who organised the Games as a glorification of his own regime, and not because it would advantage the population.

I also learnt that already 11 000 Chinese citizens are supporting this initiative of the Human Rights Torch, which I can only applaud. An authoritative communist regime that destroys the lives of millions of people and that uses the Games as a glorification for its own lust for power, doesn’t deserve to be the host of the Olympic Games.

Pitifully I cannot be there with you today, but nevertheless I wish the Human Rights Torch in Berlin,Munich, and Belgium, Brussels, Antwerp, Oostende, Sint-Niklaas great success.
