Thu 08 Aug 2008Protesters seek Cowen action on China rights abuses
Students and members of Amnesty International delivered 3,000 postcards seeking Government action on human rights abuses in China to Taoiseach Brian Cowen’s constituency office in Tullamore this morning.
Mr Cowen is on holidays in the west of Ireland at the moment but the group said it did not matter if he was present to acknowledge the delivery. Justin Moran of the Amnesty International Irish Section said the date was chosen to highlight human rights in China on the day before the Olympic Games opening ceremony in Beijing.
