Description
Ahead of the Beijing Winter Olympics' opening, around 50 people descended on China's Los Angeles consulate to protest the holding of the games in Beijing. "They're hiding all the human rights atrocities, similar to what Hitler did in the 1930s, to what Beijing is doing now by sports washing," says Tao Tenzing Dhamcho from the International Tibet Network.
The Games officially open Friday but the lead-up has been overshadowed by concerns about rights in China, especially the fate of the Muslim Uyghur minority.
The United States is leading a diplomatic boycott of the Olympics in the Chinese capital over what it calls genocide and crimes against humanity in the region of Xinjiang. China denies the accusations.
