"China is Still a Dictatorship" Fact of the Day
---
And you thought Kelo was bad:
According to the Geneva-based Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions, 300,000 people have to date been evicted from their homes in Beijing in preparation for the Games. Many of them have been evicted without due process and without adequate compensation. Individuals have been arrested and imprisoned simply for peacefully objecting to the evictions from their homes. Some of those detained have "disappeared" — their relatives do not even know where they are being held.Shame on any freedom-loving person who legitimizes China's totalitarian regime by participating in, attending, or even watching the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Wait for London.
