The February 1, 2001 FreeChina.net homepage preserves a detailed Free China Movement campaign concerning Beijing’s bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games. The page states that FCM supported making human-rights conditions a central factor in the International Olympic Committee’s decision and set out several specific demands concerning prisoners of conscience, religious prisoners, due process, torture and killings in custody, and compliance with international human-rights instruments.
The page also preserves attributed statements from Shengde Lian and Wang Xizhe concerning the campaign and an intended international lobbying effort. These are historical primary-source positions of the movement; numerical claims and allegations contained in the original campaign should be independently checked before being reused as current factual assertions.
