THE PR campaign agains weapons sales and shipments to Syria's bashar al-assad by United to End Genocide and other human rights groups is being felt at the 2012 London Summer Olympics and by Russia's arms dealer to bloody dictators vladimir lisin and the equally complicit rosoboronexport. See my earlier post on this action at DOW CHEMICAL, BOPHAL, INDIA AND THE 2012 LONDON OLYMPICS & PBS SYRIA VIDEO & Terror Games: Syria, Russia and the Olympics 26,27&28JUL12 ( http://bucknacktssordidtawdryblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/dow-chemical-bophal-india-and-2012.html )
This update from United to End Genocide....
By Bama Athreya
Last week, we asked our activists to call attention to Russian shipping magnate Vladimir Lisin’s prominent role in the Olympic Games. Lisin’s vessels were alleged to be shipping equipment for military helicopters to Syria, enabling mass atrocities by Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad.
We called off the action on the opening day of the Olympics after hearing directly from Lisin’s representatives with detailed information regarding the shipments. Thanks to all of you who took action. Vladimir Lisin took notice of your actions, and his representatives felt compelled to respond! We are continuing to dialogue with them and hope to share more information on this issue with our supporters soon.
We hope that you will join us as we continue our work to stem the flow of arms into Syria. Our effort includes targeting enablers like Russia’s state-owned weapons company, Rosoboronexport, which is responsible for selling billions of dollars in arms to the Syrian regime.
