Beijing 2008: bookmarks

Brilliant photos from an amazing Amnesty group. Keep up your great work DGSB! from all in the Education & Student Team

I saw this video when it first came out around a year ago. It's human rights abuses in China in one of the most powerful forms it can come in, the torture of innocent cartoon animals. It's perfect for getting the message across to everyone who feels about the Human Rights abuses in China and around the world, and to those who don't realise what really happened in Beijing last year.

That was...not plesant but I agree with those above. It definately smacks.

Great cartoon - think I buggered up my rating though, 4 stars! I meant 4 stars!

Thank you essiepatch for sharing these images with us all. I remember the events unfolding as though yesterday, and I still feel a sense of numbness. It is good that people do not forget the sorrows of this unthinkable time. It is good that you have taken the trouble to be part of our remebering. Thank you again, essiepatch.

"Tomorrow is forever"
Once I leave I might never come back
for the fight I have begun beside the ones who want
defend what we have and even honor the ones who want
to proclaim our rights with all they have.

The important thing in oneself doesn't come from what you say
or how you are dreesed now in an indifferent way...
the important thing in oneself is everything that you are
and what you have done for other ones who didn't get the luck you have.

Tomorrow is forever, the future is made by you...
being on someone else's side who still wants to save the world...
tomorrow is forever, the lagacy is with you...
what your children get will be everything we did...
these are just words, you are the one who take the action.

This is a long road that we still must follow
the unfairness we live in can't turn us into
an ephimeral battle that seems we have lost
when our conviction is to keep on going on this road.

For the voices they have shut when they wanted to turn them in,
for the lives they have taken away because of some criteria of their own,
for the names that remained forever in our memory...
to know is your right and to demand by making history.

Tomorrow is forever, the future is made by you...
being on someone else's side who still wants to save the world...
tomorrow is forever, the lagacy is with you...
what your children get will be everything we did...
these are just words, you are the one who take the action.

very clever
