Nhận
thức
Vào năm 2001, Trung
Quốc đă được ban cho quyền tổ
chức các cuộc thi Thế Vận Hội sau khi Trung
Quốc cam kết là phải tuân theo quy luật của
Thế Vận Hội và cải thiện thành tích về
nhân quyền. Thay vào đó,
thành tích lạm dụng nhân quyền của Trung Quốc
lại càng tệ hơn nữa.
Theo đó Liên Minh Điều Tra Cuộc Bức
Hại Pháp Luân Công đă tổ chức Chuyền Ngọn
Đuốc Nhân Quyền, một nổ lực lâu dài,
một nổ lực quốc tế để đưa
ra ánh sáng về việc Đảng Cộng Sản Trung
Quốc vi phạm nhân quyền như là bức hại
người dân ở Uighurs, các tín đồ Mật Tông
Tây Tạng, các tín đồ Cơ Đốc Giáo, các nhà
hoạt động xă hội, các luật sư biện
hộ, các phóng viên; đàn án dân chúng ở Sudan, Miến
Điện, Zimbabwe, Bắc Hàn và các học viên Pháp Luân
Công, cùng với các đoàn thể và cá nhân khác.
Trên toàn thế giới,
mọi người ủng hộ sẽ tổ chức
các buổi đi bộ, chạy bộ, ca hát, chạy xe
đạp, nhảy, chạy diều, các buổi diễn
văn và kêu gọi công chúng để cho mọi
người biết về tội vi phạm nhân quyền
của Đảng Cộng Sản Trung Quốc nhằm
kêu gọi các chính quyền của Đảng Cộng
Sản Trung Quốc phải chấm dứt vi phạm nhân
quyền.
