Human rights organisations have reported that China has been cracking down even further on dissent in the lead-up to the Beijing Olympics. As well as increasing censorship and the use of torture and extra-judicial detention, China continues to execute more prisoners than the rest of the world combined. An estimated four hundred people will be executed in China during the Olympic Games.
