Promises vs reality
What the Chinese authorities promised is yet to happen
When China made its bid for the 2008 Olympics, government authorities promised improvements in human rights. Seven years on, China remains a country that executes, tortures and silences its citizens.
The deadline is looming.
Amnesty International is urging the Chinese authorities to step up their human rights reforms and uphold the legacy of the Olympic Games.
