yes i understand that sports should not be mixed with politics. but this is not politics. its about human lives. if a politician endorses this issue, doesnt mean that it is a political issue now. then if a scientist endorses this issue, will it become a scientific issue.
NO games, NO olympics is ever greater than the human lives.
you can raise human rights violation issue anywhere, be it political area, scientific area, sports area, fun area, whatever,wherever.
