Beijing Olympics “It’s a Human Rights Knockout”: New from China

This entry is part 8 of 8 in the series Beijing 2008 Olympic Games It's a Knockout

I’m delighted to announce that the Wardman Wire will be presenting an “It’ a Knockout Special” on Friday 8th April - to celebrate the Chinese Government’s efforts at .. er .. Knocking Out Human Rights.

A number of events will be featured, including the The Team London Marathon Obstacle Course (featured below).

Other events include worldwide celebrations:

  • The Rolling of the Tumbrils in Paris.
  • Impromptu All-in Wrestling between Chinese Security Guards and the Public.

And some Beijing Olympics events taking place in China itself, and in other places that are alleged to be part of China:

  • Sweeping Undesirables off the Streets.
  • “Moving Target Marksmanship” Shooting at Tibetan Monks.
  • Synchronised Marching (suggested by Ian Whickham).

Event Suggestions

If you would like to suggest an event, just make a comment below -with an explanation (and ideally a video) or post an article on your own blog and link back. Then I will feature your event on Friday.

Let the Games begin.

(A few glitches with this post - sorry. Now sorted.)
