UUSC urges China to help end Genocide in Darfur

The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, an international human rights organization based in Cambridge, Mass., today urged the International Olympic Committee and President Hu Jintao of China to use their leverage to help end the genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. UUSC, which is leading a Drumbeat for Darfur campaign to end the genocide, delivered copies of more than 600 letters from Unitarian Universalists addressed to Zhou Wenzhong, China's ambassador to the U.S., at the Chinese Embassy in Washington. The original letters were sent by express mail delivery to the IOC headquarters in Switzerland.
