This Sunday 3rd August in Hong Kong, the international campaign PLAY FAIR 2008 will host its last street action before the opening of the Beijing Olympics. This action aims ask the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to take concrete measures to improve the employment situation in the factories where they are made of licensed Olympic sports.
While Fair Play is committed to the sports industry and some National Olympic Committees, the IOC continues to refuse to address the issue of labor rights violations in the supply chains of articles for the Olympics. The most we have done is say they will consider the working conditions for the selection of the city acojerá Olympics 2016. On the one hand, it is unclear what will demand by 2016 and on the other hand, this is a very distant date which is another 8 years of inaction and no improvement for the workers.
The action of August 3 includes a press conference for journalists interested, a "corner speaker" and an opportunity to take photographs that illustrate the actions.
