China was awarded to host the Olympics by the International Olympics Committee at the beginning of this century with the expectation that China would improve its human rights. Events and reports proved that China's human rights record did not improve but rather rapidly worsened prior to and during the Games.

Now the Games are over, a dozen Asian human rights organizations are jointly urging the international community to keep pressure on China and other authoritarian regimes in Asia to embrace democracy.  

Please join us this Friday at one of the largest gatherings by leaders of Asian human rights organizations in the nation's capital.
