A human rights violation ad
China sure has been in the news for all the wrong reasons recently, and Amnesty International denies what first looked like its bit in defaming the Olympic city of the year. According to Amnesty, the intent behind their furious advertisements has been misinterpreted. As the world appreciates the pictorial ads with interesting detailing, even the Chinese bloggers have expressed their appreciation. For the uninitiated, the ads depict atrocities inflicted upon protestors in China brewing up a lot of trouble for the Chinese establishment who is trying everything in its power to keep up a clean image in the wake of the Olympics and the media island created on its grounds.
It is believed that Amnesty international has made a lot of business with China for the Olympics and that is probably why they now disown their creations. That’s about the diplomatic stance of the Amnesty folks. But I was wondering about the effect of the ad being talked about here. People, especially the Chinese, believe that these ads are propelling them to continue with the protests.
