Hu Jia, the fearless human rights activist constantly under house arrest in Beijing for the past few years calls on ICO not to award Beijing with the 2022 Winter Olympics:
„Xi Jinping has engineered the biggest mass detention of lawyers ever seen in human history,“

„Lawyers are in a particularly difficult situation in China, where there are laws, but no rule of law, and where constitutionalism barely survives in the cracks,“ said Hu, who served a three-and-a-half-year jail term for „incitement to subversion“ after he wrote online articles critical of Beijing’s hosting of the 2008 Summer Olympics.
„If China is such a bad environment for the rule of law, how can they win the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics on July 31?“ Hu said.

„It is the responsibility of the entire international community in the field of the rule of law and human rights not to retreat, but to speak out on behalf of these innocent lawyers.“
