The 88 Generation Students group on Monday called for an international boycott of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, including a boycott of products sold by Olympic sponsors, according to group leaders.

But Li Zhanjun added that this policy would not be applied to Falun Gong, a religious group banned by the Chinese authorities.
