Coca-Cola accused of complicity in Tibetan 'humanitarian disaster
More than 150 activist groups worldwide have accused Olympic sponsor Coca-Cola of being ‘complicit in a humanitarian disaster in Tibet' if the drinks company fails to force the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to reroute the Torch Relay away from the region.
In an open letter to Coca-Cola signed on behalf of a network of more than 150 groups, and published in full below, activists cite a statement made by Jampa Phuntsog, governor of the Tibetan Autonomous Region, to justify their position. In his statement, Phuntsog confirmed that he expected Tibetans to protest, and warned: ‘We will without doubt deal with these persons severely. We will not be merciful.'
