1.5 Million People Displaced By Beijing Olympics
TCO-AP (GENEVA) --The Charlotte Oberserver reports some 1.5 million Chinese have been forced from their homes during preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. China rejected the figures from the Geneva-based Center on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE) as "groundless" and said some 6,000 families had been compensated and properly resettled. "Our research shows that little has changed since 1988 when 720,000 people were forcibly displaced in Seoul, South Korea, in preparation for the Summer Olympic Games," said Jean du Plessis, COHRE's executive director. Some 6,037 households have been demolished since 2002 to make way for nine venues in the process of preparing for the 2008 Olympic Games, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said.
