He went there to report on Basketball for the BBC but also to encourage people to take a closer look at the appalling human rights record of the Chinese authorities.Amnesty will continue to campaign for positive human rights reform in China. The danger now is that violations may well increase as the media attention on Beijing slips away. 2009 will mark the 60th anniversary of the Peoples Republic, 50 years since the Tibetan uprising and 20 years since the brutal crackdown in Tiananmen Square.

Not coming out. But not coming out early enough! Amaechi was recruited by Harvard University. He didn't go. But a former coach there (former former, since all the "current" ones were just made former a day or so ago) reminisces about what might have been--for Harvard, for Amaechi, and for himself--had things happened in a different order. Nice.
