Foreign journalists working from the Olympics press centre in Beijing are unable to access amnesty.org - the Amnesty International website. A number of other websites are also reported to have been blocked.
As Amnesty International prepares to launch a new report evaluating the Chinese authorities’ human rights performance in the run-up to the Olympics, this flies in the face of official promises to ensure “complete media freedom” for the Games.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has on many occasions highlighted the loosening of restrictions on foreign media in China as an example of an improvement in human rights brought about by the hosting of the Olympics. On 17 July Jaques Rogge, IOC President, went as far as to claim that ‘there will be no censorship on the internet.’
The Olympics Countdown: Broken Promises is to be published online today at 21:00 GMT, Tuesday 29 July at 05:00am Hong Kong time.
The follow-up to China: The Olympics Countdown: Crackdown on Activists Threatens Olympic Legacy which was released in April this year, the new report shows that there has still been little progress towards fulfilling the Chinese authorities’ promise to improve human rights, but rather continued deterioration in key areas.
Blocking Amnesty International’s website, along with a number of others, is a clear example of the Chinese authorities' broken promises.
On Tuesday 1 April 2008, Kevin Gosper, Vice Chair of the IOC co-ordinating commission, was at a meeting in Beijing where he urged the Chinese government to honour the commitment in the host city contract to allow free internet access to the media attending the Games.
Gosper said that the continued blocking of some websites would "reflect very poorly" on the hosts. "This morning we insisted again," Gosper added. "Our concern is that the press is able to operate as it has at previous Games - at Games time. I'm satisfied that the Chinese understand the need for this and they will do it.

北京奥运新闻中心工作的外国记者无法访问大赦国际网站amnesty.org,据悉还有许多网站也遭遇同样命运。
大赦国际准备在奥运到来前发布最新中国人权状况的评估报告(注:已发布),对中国作出的为奥运保证“媒体完全自由”的承诺提出批判。
国际奥委会多次在不同场合将中国放宽对外国媒体的限制赞美为随举办奥运而来的人权进步的佐证。7月17日奥委会主席罗格甚至直接宣称“届时互联网将不做审查”。

《奥运倒计时:违背承诺》将于(注:已发布)今天21:00(GMT时间)、香港时间29日周二凌晨5点在线发布。
今年4月大赦国际曾发布《深入报道:奥运倒计时:镇压人权活动家玷污奥运精神》。最新报告表明中国当局提高人权的承诺不仅没有取得多少进展,相反在主要领域甚至继续恶化。
封锁大赦国际和其他许多网站就是中国当局违背承诺的一个明显例子。
2008年4月1日周二,国际奥委会协调委员会副主席Kevin Gosper在北京一次会议上呼吁中国政府应按举办城市的和约履行承诺为参加奥运的媒体提供自由的互联网访问服务。
Gosper当时表示如果继续封锁一些网站将使东道主“显得很糟糕”,“今天早晨我们再次申明我们关注的是在比赛期间新闻中心要像上届奥运会一样正常运作。”“我很满意中国理解这一需要也将做到这一点”。
