Beijing Games 2008 - EU 24 June 2008
法國總統薩克奇在與歐洲議會組織的首腦會談中，強烈要求對2008年奧運會開幕式採取抵制行動
已經有53位（歐洲議會）議員簽署了抵制開幕式
記者無疆界組織要求法國和歐洲盟國抵制8月8日在北京舉行的奧運會開幕式，法國總統尼古拉•薩科齊明天將會見歐洲議會議長漢斯•格特和歐洲議會各政治組織的總統。
在4月10日的決議中，歐洲議會要求歐盟主席「努力尋找一個歐洲聯盟(歐盟)的共同位置，在中共當局不與達賴喇嘛恢復對話的情形下，歐洲政府首腦和歐盟的高級代表將採取不出席奧林匹克運動會開幕式的選擇。」
在記者無疆界組織倡議下，歐議會的53名成員國具體表示了歐洲承諾通過簽署對開幕式抵制的要求，並由國家首腦和政府簽署(參見最初的簽字者名單如下)。
「薩科齊總統明確表示，中共政府與達賴喇嘛的代表恢復對話是他是否出席北京奧運開幕式的條件。 」記者無疆界組織表示：「然而，這一進程並沒有結果，最近，美國與歐盟發表了一項聯合呼籲，要求在西藏問題上進行『實質性的談判』，但被中共政府以干涉本國內政為由拒絕。中共當局還拒絕外國記者進入西藏和新疆地區。
中共對異議人士和新聞記者的鎮壓在最近幾個月里增加，如：異議人士胡佳曾獲２００７年歐洲議會的撒哈洛夫獎的提名，遭中共政府逮捕並被判刑三年半，罪名是顛覆國家。
歐洲議長漢斯•格特在12月31日聲明中指出： 「我非常希望2008年在北京舉辦的奧運會成為中國向世界展示的一個機會，即：主持這樣一個世界級的最重要體育事件的國家達到了被國際上認可的人權標準，包括言論自由。立即釋放胡佳就是向這個方向邁進的一個重要信號。」
至今距離奧運會還有兩個月的時間了，但卻有100多名記者、異議人士和網民在中國被監禁。這個政府根本不履行它於 2001年的承諾，即：如果北京被授予舉辦2008奧林匹克運動會，中國將改善尊重人權。

Sarkozy urged to adopt boycott of opening ceremony at meeting with heads of European Parliament groups
Call for opening ceremony boycott already signed by 53 MEPs
Reporters Without Borders calls on France and its European partners to come out in favour of a boycott of the 8 August Olympic Games opening ceremony in Beijing when French President Nicolas Sarkozy meets tomorrow with European Parliament president Hans-Gert Pöttering and the presidents of all the political groups in the parliament.
In a 10 April resolution, the European Parliament called on the European Union presidency 「to strive to find a common EU position with regard to the attendance of the heads of government and of state and the EU high representative at the Olympic Games opening ceremony, with the option of non-attendance in the event that there is no resumption of dialogue between the Chinese authorities and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.」
At the initiative of Reporters Without Borders, 53 Members of the European Parliament have already given concrete expression to a European commitment by signing an appeal for a boycott of the opening ceremony by heads of state and government (see the list of initial signatories below).
「President Sarkozy clearly stated that his attendance at the opening ceremony was conditioned on a resumption of dialogue between the Chinese government and the Dalai Lama’s representatives,」 Reporters Without Borders said. 「But the process has gone nowhere and when the United States and the EU recently issued a joint appeal for 『results-oriented』 talks on Tibet, it was rejected by China as meddling in its internal affairs. The Chinese authorities are also barring foreign journalists from Tibet and Xinjiang while massive roundups and reeducation campaigns are under way there.」
Crackdowns on Chinese cyber-dissidents and journalists have been stepped up in recent months. Hu Jia, a leading dissident who was nominated for the European Parliament’s Sakharov Prize in 2007, has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for inciting subversion.
Pöttering said in a 31 December statement : 「I very much hope that 「the upcoming Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 will be an opportunity for China to demonstrate that a country hosting the world’s most important sports event is committed to internationally recognized human rights standards including freedom of expression. The immediate release of Hu Jia would be an important signal in this direction」.
With less than two months to go to the start of the Olympics, around 100 journalists, cyber-dissidents, bloggers and Internet users are still imprisoned in China. The government never kept the promises it gave in 2001, when Beijing was awarded the 2008 Olympics, to improve respect for human rights.
More information about the Reporters Without Borders Beijing 2008 campaign is available in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese at the organisation’s website (www.rsf.org).
