At 9 am today Mel, Sam, Leslie, Pete, Nupur and Duane dropped a 450-square foot banner from the Great Wall of China. News of this action has already spread around the world, inserting the message “One World One Dream Free Tibet” into every news story being filed about the one-year countdown to the 2008 Games.

This is what the Chinese government gets for trying to sell the world a lie. They want the Olympic spotlight and they want to improve their global image without actually doing anything to change their authoritarian ways. Simply window dressing the capital at this time is not enough.

We don’t know where the ‘Great Wall 6′ are right now. There is no word yet. But they are in the hearts, minds and prayers of countless of people around the world. We trust the Chinese authorities will treat them well and release them soon. The whole world is watching…
