Slavery scandal tarnishes Olympics

Re “China’s president orders probe of brickyard slavery,” June 16

The world should respond to the “brickyard slavery” horrors by canceling the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. If this is not done, all athletes and attendees must refuse to take part.

At the very least, all consumers should boycott Chinese products. Human beings may not matter, but everyone understands the loss of money.
