The Beijing Olympics should be a moment to bring citizens around the world together. But the Chinese government still hasn't opened meaningful dialogue on Tibet ...

We've decided to take the moment back with a powerful, unambiguous message of peace, friendship and dialogue -- the Olympic Handshake. The handshake began with the Dalai Lama, passing through the streets of London ... help the handshake travel toward Beijing ... Join the handshake, and see yourself and others as it goes around the globe!

China promised to improve human rights if it hosted the Olympics, but the brutal crackdown on protests in Tibet clearly broke this promise.
Athletes competing at the Olympics have been told they must not mention human rights or Tibet, but no one can stop them making a simple signal that they care.
The T for Tibet hand signal is a quick, easy way to send a clear message: It’s time to free Tibet!

The Color Orange to highlight the violations of the human rights in China on the occasion of the Olympic Games in Beijing August 2008.

The Color Orange as a symbol of the protest against the human rights violations in China. The strict censorship can ban the use of obvious symbols of human rights, but the use of The Color Orange cannot be banned.

So sports people and spectators are being encouraged to make vast and creative use of the color for clothing and all sorts of accessories. It can be anything, like an orange hat, camera bag, tie, pen, paper, dress, suit, bag etc.
Supported by Friends of Tibet in New Zealand.
