❑ TEXTO:
Protest kits for Aussie athletes
A campaign group in Australia is offering
Olympics athletes and supporters a protest kit
to highlight their concerns over Tibet.
The pack includes a T-shirt bearing the words “I
support human rights” in English and Chinese,
badges, stickers and temporary tattoos of Tibet’s
flag. The T-shirt slogan was specially chosen to
avoid making explicit reference to Tibet and
contravening Olympic rules. But backers admit that
those using the kit may still “face consequences”.
In March, Chinese authorities suppressed the
biggest protests against Chinese rule in Tibet in
two decades.
Many campaigners for Tibetan independence have
used China’s hosting of the Olympic Games as a
platform to publicise their cause.
Risks
“Going right back to March, people have been
approaching us and asking how they can help Tibet
in Beijing,” Simon Bradshaw, campaign co-ordinator
for the Australia Tibet Council (ATC), told Reuters
news agency. But he warned that the packs could
be confiscated by Chinese authorities at the
airport, or could contravene Australian Olympic
Committee rules and be barred from the Olympic
village. There is “no doubt that athletes who
choose to make public statements over Tibet may
face consequences”, he said.
Launching the packs on Monday, former Olympic
swimmer Michelle Engelsman said that whether
athletes decided to speak out at the Games was
up to them. “It is important to bear in mind that
the athletes also have the right to focus on their
sport,” she said. But she said she hoped that
athletes might choose to use the protest items –
available on request and in confidence from the
ATC – once they had finished competing.
A spokesman for the Australian Olympic Committee,
Mike Tancred, told AP news agency that his
organisation recommended that no athlete
travelling to China take the kit in case the contents
“antagonised” other competitors.
