The request for broadcasters to cancel plans to cover the Beijing Olympics comes in an open letter from rights groups representing minorities in China

FLORENCE LO/Reuters

The letter, obtained by the Associated Press, was sent Tuesday to NBC Universal chief executive officer Jeff Shell and other international broadcast executives. NBC is paying $7.75-billion for the rights to the next six Olympics and works closely as a partner with the Switzerland-based International Olympic Committee.Those payments are estimated to account for up to 40 per cent of the IOC’s total income.

A vice president of one major IOC sponsor, Intel, has said he concurs with the assessment that genocide is taking place. The Beijing Olympics are likely to be held with few fans, and media are likely to be segregated from athletes with little possibility of free movement. The rationale will be the ongoing pandemic.The IOC has declined several recent calls to move the Olympics out of Beijing. China is accused by some foreign governments and researchers of imposing forced labour, systematic forced birth control and torture upon Uyghurs, a largely Muslim ethnic group Xinjiang, a region in the country’s west.
