The Press Conference of Reporters Without Borders on the new international campaign, ‘Beijing 2008′, will be held in Second Life

Reporters Without Borders is launching a new international campaign, ‘Beijing 2008′, to draw attention about the Chinese government’s refusal to allow greater freedom of expression and release the approximately 100 journalists and cyber-
dissidents currently detained there. Despite the fact there are only thirteen months to go before the opening of the Olympic Games, the Chinese government has not respected the commitment they made to improve human rights conditions when they
were awarded the games in 2001.

A visio live press conference has been planned for Wednesday July 4, 2007 at 8 AM PDT (5.00 p.m. French time) in Second Life with Robert Ménard, secretary general of Reporters Without Borders.

This coincides with the opening session of the International Olympic Committee to be held in Guatemala. Mr Ménard will answer questions on the current situation as it relates to the Chinese press.

T-shirts featuring the campaign logo and placards are available free of charge in front of the Reporters Without Borders SL office, as well as on Ile Verte. If you’d like to show your support for the campaign you can wear the RWB t-shirt July 4th and share the logo which is available in Second Life for your blogs.

Conference July 4th, rendez vous at 8.OO a.m. SLT / PDT (5.OO p.m. French time) on Ile Verte (27, 27, 28).

Tatiana Salomon, president of the Associated Humans, has put the island at the disposal of Reporters Without Borders and their crew for the event.
