CHICAGO (AP) - The activist group, Dream for Darfur, is putting final touches on its report card on the human rights record of the International Olympic Committee. The group's most high-profile spokeswoman, Mia Farrow, already has issued her grade.
"Personally, I flunk them," Farrow said Monday. "The definition of failure is 'the omission of expected or required action.' They flunk. They chose Beijing to be their host. How can China host the Olympic Games at home while underwriting genocide in Sudan?"
The suffering in the Darfur region of Sudan is a sad, confusing issue that doesn't lend itself to sound bites or quick, easy answers. The United Nations estimates more than 200,000 have been killed and about 2.5 million displaced in the conflict.
