08/09/2007 Ad un anno dalle Olimpiadi, ieri la polizia cinese ha trattenuto per alcune ore i giornalisti di "Reporters sans frontières" (Rsf) che hanno promosso una manifestazione nella quale accusavano il governo cinese di non aver mantenuto le promesse in materia diritti umani e libertà di espressione fatte nel 2001 a Mosca quando i Giochi Olimpici del 2008 furono assegnati alla Cina. I rappresentanti di Rsf stavano tenendo una conferenza stampa non autorizzata davanti alla sede del Comitato organizzatore dei Giochi (Bocog) a Pechino indossando magliette con le manette al posto dei cerchi olimpici. "Non chiediamo il boicottaggio dei Giochi: chiediamo solo fatti concreti, come la liberazione dei prigionieri politici, la liberalizzazione del web e la fine delle interferenze sulle trasmissioni radio sgradite" - ha detto il responsabile di Rsf per l'Asia.
