I haven't been following the Olympics this summer due to the Chinese autocratic government's atrocious human rights record: Something I think is important to do because the Chinese people aren't allowed to criticize their own government without risking their lives.
For more background on China's terrible record on civil and human rights , see this website - with the latest updates - compiled by UK advocacy group Amnesty International, as well as this report from US-based Human Rights Watch.
It's truly a sad development that a country with such poor regard for the rights and freedoms of its citizens was chosen by the IOC to be honored as host of this year's summer Olympic games.

I applaud your efforts...given the country's michael phelps fervor, you must have had quite a difficult time avoiding Olympic coverage.
