A Sinister Trade: The Winter Games for Civil Liberties
Today at 7:40 a.m. during The Takeaway

Protesters with the Olympic Resistance Network point to a number of new laws enacted just for the Olympics that violate civil liberties. In fact, critics say, the International Olympic Committee mandates a host city must pass these laws to protect sponsors and the image of the Games. And protesters fear they will be silenced from showing the public what they see as the true nature of the Olympics.
