Event Information
Join frontline communities and China human rights experts to discuss the issues with the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
About this Event
From 10 to 12 March, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will hold the 137th IOC Session via videoconference. A key agenda item is an update concerning the Beijing 2022 Games by Chair of the Coordination Commission, Mr. Juan Samaranch.
To coincide with the Session the NoBeijing2022 Campaign Coalition will host an alternative session to discuss the real issues that should be confronted by the IOC; China’s increased human rights atrocities, the genocidal treatment of the Uyghur people, the brutal and illegal occupation of Tibet, the recolonising of Hong Kong, the erasure of Southern Mongolian culture and language, and the detention, disappearance, and death of countless Chinese lawyers, feminists, and democracy activists.
As pressure mounts on the IOC from the global community to move the games from Beijing or face a diplomatic boycott our alternative session aims to counter the misleading IOC narrative and expose the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics for what they really are – China’s despicable attempt to mask its crimes and legitimize its place on the world stage.
