【大紀元3月23日訊】應廣大中國人民的強烈要求，正在全球接力傳遞的「人權聖火」3月23日開始傳入中國大陸，並於這一天直至8月間在全中國巡迴傳遞。數千萬遭受中共欺壓迫害、不滿腐敗暴政和追求自由公正人權的中國人將參與傳遞。在這一天，香港舉行了人權聖火進入中國大陸誓師大會及遊行，以下是人權無國界（Human Rights Without Frontiers International）代表Pastor Steve的發言。
各位先生、女士：
西藏佛教徒的鮮血，經過一連5天紀念1959年起義抵抗中共侵佔的和平抗議後，又再一次在拉薩淌流。無論遇難者的數目是10人、80人、100人或更多，中共訴諸暴力的手段，再次證明中共領導人並沒有放棄1989天安門廣場屠殺的作風。
在奧運前夕，北京被它在西藏及其他一系列問題上的失敗重重圍困，在偽裝和諧社會的圍牆上暴露出日漸擴大的偽善的裂縫。
在西藏以至臨近省份爆發的抗議浪潮，已激起了國際社會上的強烈呼聲。繼早前高級的政要名流紛紛表明道義立場後，又新加入了支持抵制行動的聲音。
早在近日的悲劇事件之前，查爾斯王子已誓言不接受任何參與奧運的邀請，因為中共對人權的侵犯仍在繼續。史提芬史匹堡辭去了北京奧運開幕及閉幕式的藝術顧問一職，指出北京正支持著蘇丹喀土木的群體滅絕政權。
現在，荷里活演員、西藏運動的積極支持者李察基爾，表明全世界都應該抵制北京奧運。假如北京未能和平地處理西藏人長期抑壓的、合理的怨憤，那麼參與奧運就是「違背良心」。
歐洲議會副主席麥志德（Edward McMillan-Scott）同樣支持抵制行動。他向英國《約克郡郵報》說：「不同於國際制裁，抵制是有效的」。他最近在倫敦一次示威活動中，譴責中共違背它在獲得奧運主辦權時作出的改善人權的承諾，並呼籲歐盟就抵制奧運作出「嚴肅的辯論。」
當胡佳、高智晟與其他著名中國維權人士冒著一切危險，乞求寧要人權不要奧運的時候，歐盟的領袖卻猶豫了，他們試圖迴避問題，發表軟弱的言論，甚至站到了鎮壓者的一方。歐洲委員會發言人（Pia Ahrenkilde）宣稱她忽略「歐洲委員會主席若澤．曼努埃爾．巴羅佐會否出席奧運」的問題。歐洲委員會的發言人們認為「抵制並不是合適的回應」。歐洲議會主席漢斯．格特．珀特林呼籲抗議者與北京雙方克制，彷彿他們對今次危機有同等責任。歐盟外長哈維爾‧索拉納則採取了最令人失望的態度，說「只要是奧運的話，我都打算到場」。
「對於隱秘的中國在發生甚麼，文明世界是時候醒覺過來了。它是一個無可比擬的恐怖國家。」這句話麥志德已說了超過一年。為了與中國活躍份子及共產政權的受害者保持一致，他去年在歐洲議會上拒絕與中國的代表團主席握手。
儘管歐洲在全世界的齊聲抗議中發出了不恰當的聲音，很多人的良知正在醒覺，新的動態正在發展。現在，傳達給北京的警告已經很清晰：如果中國共產黨不投放資源大幅改善它的人權紀錄，奧運將成為一場公共關係的災難。
「人權無國界」國際組織呼籲國家首腦、首相、皇室人員、歐洲機關的領袖、歐洲與國家議會的成員，不要理會來自北京的奧運邀請，拒絕與那些要對最近的西藏流血事件、酷刑折磨法輪功學員、拘留人權活躍份子、殺人的一胎化政策、處決被強制遣返的北韓難民負責的主席和部長們坐在一塊。
沒有道德就沒有奧運！
（英文原文：
Ladies and gentlemen,
Once more, the blood of Tibetan Buddhists has flowed in Lhasa after five days of peaceful protests in memory of the anniversary of the 1959 rebellion against Chinese occupation. Whether the victims number 10, 80, 100 or more, China’s resort to violence shows once again that Chinese leaders have not abandoned the methods of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
On the eve of the Olympics Beijing is being besieged by its own failures on the Tibet issue and on a wide range of other fronts, revealing gaping cracks of hypocrisy in its wall of pretended social harmony.
A wave of international outcry has joined the wave of protests that broke out in Tibet and in neighbouring provinces. New voices in favour of a boycott have added further to ethical stands previously taken by high-ranking personalities and celebrities.
Prince Charles had already pledged before the last tragic events to disregard any invitation to attend the Olympics because of the ongoing human rights violations. Steven Spielberg had resigned as artistic advisor for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games, citing Beijing’s support for the genocidal regime in Khartoum.
Now, Richard Gere, a Hollywood actor and an outspoken supporter of the Tibetan cause, said there should be a worldwide boycott of the Games and it would be “unconscionable” to attend the Olympics if Beijing failed to deal peacefully with the long-simmering and legitimate resentment of the Tibetans.
Edward McMillan-Scott, vice-president of the European Parliament, is also in favour of a boycott: “Unlike sanctions, boycotts work,” he said in the Yorkshire Post. At a recent demonstration in London, he accused China of reneging on promises it made to improve human rights when it was granted the Olympics and called for a “serious debate” in the EU about a boycott.
While Hu Jia, Gao Zhisheng and other prominent Chinese human rights defenders have taken all the risks by begging human rights instead of Olympic Games, the EU leaders hesitate, try to evade the issue and make soft statements or take sides with the oppressors. Commission spokesperson Pia Ahrenkilde said she ignored “whether Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso would be attending the Olympics.” The Commission spokespeople considered that “a boycott was not a suitable response.” The president of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering, called upon both the protesters and Beijing to show restraint as if they were equally responsible for the crisis. Javier Solana, the EU’s foreign policy chief took the most disappointing attitude when he said “As far as the Olympic Games are concerned, I intend to be there.”
“It is time for the civilized world to wake up to what is really happening in the hidden China, a terror state like no other,” Edward McMillan-Scott has been saying for more than a year. In phase with the Chinese activists and victims of the Communist regime, he refused last year to shake hands with the head of the Chinese delegation at the European Parliament.
Despite these European false notes in the world orchestra of protests, many consciences are waking up and a new dynamic is on the move. The warning addressed to Beijing is now clear: if the Chinese Communist Party does not marshal its resources to make substantial improvements in its human rights record, the Olympics will become a public relations debacle.
Human Rights Without Frontiers International calls upon Heads of State, Prime Ministers, Royal Families, Heads of the European Institutions, Members of the European and national Parliaments to ignore invitations from Beijing to attend the Games and to refuse to sit next to a president and ministers who are responsible for the latest bloodshed in Tibet, the torture of Falun Gong practitioners, the detention of human rights activists, the murderous one-child policy, and the execution of North Korean refugees forcibly repatriated to their country.
No Ethics? No Olympics!
