老妇因奥运抗议被判劳改
中国当局在两位70多岁的妇女申请在奥运期间示威之后，判罚他们“劳动再教育”一年，其中一位老妇的亲属今天说。
这周，官方指出他们目前还没有批准任何一个示威活动，尽管早先划定了有三个指定示威区。
国际奥委会媒体部主任称他们将对此进行调查，但强调奥运会并不是所有问题的“万灵药”。
吴典源（音），79岁，和她的邻居王秀英，77岁，计划针对他们2001年遭到强迫拆迁一事进行抗议。她们在本月曾4次去过北京公安局申请在新设立的区域进行抗议。而抗议区域是针对中国限制政治表达的批评之后采取的措施。
她们的申请没有被批准也没有被拒绝，但是当他们第一次去公安局的时候，警方对他们进行了10个小时的审讯，吴的儿子，李雪辉（音）对总部在纽约的人权观察组织说。
在8月17日，两位妇女受到了一份来自北京“劳动再教育委员会”的判决，其中他们因“影响公共秩序”而被判一年的劳动改造。他们的行动受到限制并且被警告如果违反规定将会被送到劳改营。这一体制不允许任何正式的听证同样也不允许上诉。
李告诉联合通讯社，这些妇女目前在家中被居委会监管【译注：从来没听说过居委会监管就是劳改】。他还指出这份判决并没有给出任何理由。
“在吴和王申请抗议许可并且多次上诉之后被惩罚，正表明了中国政府对于奥运抗议区域的陈述……不过就是一场表演”，Sharon Hom，人权观察在中国的行政总管说。
周一，在一个星期的追问后，中国官方新华社报道指出一共有77份抗议申请。
但是引用公安局发言人的话说，74份申请因问题“已经由有关方面通过协商解决”而被撤销；2份因提交信息不足而待定；而1份因包括一名儿童违反了相关法律而被拒。
任何危害“国家团结”以及“国家，社会，或者集体利益”的抗议都被禁止，而申请表上需要填写从申请人工作到抗议口号以及条幅的大小和内容等等细节。
在没有抗议的北京世界公园，作为超一个现实的抗议区域，游客们沉浸在金字塔和英国议会大楼这些微缩景观带来的快乐中。在紫竹院公园，当地居民在那里聊天打牌。对于这些公园来说，唯一不同的就是激增的警力。
王维，北京奥组委副主席对记者说，他们应该对于抗议区感到“满意”。
“抗议的本意是希望问题得到解决，而不是为了抗议而抗议。我们很高兴看到问题通过对话和协商得到了解决，这就是我们如何用中国的方式解决问题。”他在记者招待会中讲道。
“我们希望任何人都能表达自己看法。任何人都有权说话，但这和抗议不同。”
Giselle Davies，国际奥委会媒体部主任说，北京是几个设立奥运抗议区的主办地之一。“我们要求尽量的公开和透明，我们要求这些区域应被真正的使用。”她说。
Davies说她会了解王和吴的案子，但是补充道：“奥运是关于体育。我们意识到更多的问题正在通过奥运会而打开大门，这表明奥运会成为这里发展的催化剂。这样的催化现象正在发生。但是，奥运会并不是万能药。”
Nicholas Bequelin，人权观察的高级研究员，指出：“实证却指向了另外一个方向：奥运总体上起到的是负面效果。我们观察到严重侵犯人权的现象。”
根据人权观察的资料，另外一个有有可能的抗议者，季四尊（音），自从上周一去过北京警察局查询他的申请许可进度以后就已经无法联系到。有目击者看到几个人将这位社会底层的抗议者架到一辆没有标志的车上。
另外也有一些报道指出，一些人在去往北京的路上被阻，或者被迫由警方遣送回原籍。

Elderly women sentenced to year's labour over Olympics protest
Chinese authorities havesentenced two women in their 70s to a year's "re-education throughlabour" after they applied to protest during the Olympic games, arelative said today.
This week, officials said they had notapproved a single permit for a demonstration, despite designating threeparks as protest zones.
The International Olympic Committee'scommunications director said she would look at the women's case, butstressed that the games were "not a panacea for all ills".
WuDianyuan, 79, and her neighbour Wang Xiuying, 77, sought to protestabout their forced eviction from their homes in 2001. They went to theBeijing Public Security Bureau four times this month to requestpermission to demonstrate in the new zones — created for the Olympicsto counter criticism of the limits to political expression in China.
Theirapplications were neither granted nor denied, but on their first tripPSB officers interrogated them for 10 hours, Wu's son, Li Xuehui, toldthe New York-based group Human Rights in China.
On August 17, thetwo women received an order dated July 30 from Beijing's "re-educationthrough labour commission" sentencing them to one year for "disturbingthe public order". It placed restrictions on their movements and warnedthat if they breached any of the requirements they would be sent to alabour camp. The system does not require formal hearings or allowappeals.
Li told the Associated Press the women were at homeunder the observation of a neighborhood committee. He said no cause hadbeen given for the order.
When Wu and Wang returned to the PSB on August 18, officers said they could not apply to protest because of their sentence.
"PunishingWu and Wang after they applied for protest permits and activelypetitioned the government demonstrates that the official statementstouting the new Olympics protest zones … were no more than a show,"said Sharon Hom, the executive director of Human Rights in China.
On Monday, following a week of questions, the official news agency Xinhua reported that 77 applications had been made.
Butciting a PSB spokesman, it said 74 were withdrawn because the problems"were properly addressed by relevant authorities or departments throughconsultations"; two were suspended because they provided insufficientinformation; and one was rejected because it violated laws by includinga child.
Protests that might harm "national unity" and "national,social or collective interests" are forbidden, and application formsrequest details ranging from the applicant's work unit to slogans to bechanted and the size and content of banners.
With nodemonstrations pending at Beijing's World Park, perhaps the mostsurreal choice for a protest zone, tourists happily traipsed pastminiature models of the pyramids and Britain's houses of parliamentthis week. In the Ritan and Purple Bamboo Parks, local residents playedchequers and chatted. The only sign of their special status was anincreased security presence.
Wang Wei, vice-president of the Beijing organising committee, told reporters they should be "satisfied" with the protest zones.
"Theidea of demonstration is that you are hoping to resolve issues, not todemonstrate for the sake of demonstrating. We are pleased that issueshave been resolved through dialogue and communication — this is how wedo it in Chinese culture," he told a press conference.
"We want everyone to express their opinion. Everyone has the right to speak; this is not the same as demonstrating."
GiselleDavies, the International Olympic Committee's director ofcommunications, said Beijing was one of several host cities to havecreated protest zones. "We asked for as much transparency as possibleand we asked that the areas should be genuinely used," she said.
Daviessaid she would look Wang and Wu's case, but added: "The Olympics areabout sport. We are aware of the wider issues but opening the doorthrough the Olympics is a catalyst for development here. That catalyticeffect is happening. But the Olympics are not a panacea for all ills."
NicholasBequelin, a senior researcher for Human Rights Watch, said: "Theempirical evidence points in the opposite direction: the games have hadan overall negative impact. We are seeing a pattern of seriousviolations of rights."
According to Human Rights Watch, anotherwould-be protester, Ji Sizun, has been uncontactable since visiting aBeijing police station last Monday to check on the progress of a permitapplication. Witnesses saw several men escorting the grassrootsactivist away in an unmarked car.
Other people reported beinghalted en route to Beijing, or being forcibly removed from the capitalby officials from their hometowns as they sought to protest.
