The Human Rights Torch Relay (HRTR) (http://humanrightstorch.org) is a global grassroots campaign to raise awareness of, and to try to stop, the Chinese Communist regime's human rights crimes prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
On top of the recent violence in Tibet and the Chinese communist regime’s support in Myanmar and Darfur, many groups inside China are claiming that the persecutions against them have been intensified this year as well, including Falun Gong, Muslim Uighurs, underground Christians, democracy advocates, and journalists.
