Support Tibet

Teri B. · 03-24-2008, 07:01 AM

I just signed an urgent petition calling on the Chinese government to respect human rights in Tibet and dialogue with the Dalai Lama. This is really important, and I thought you might want to take action:

Avaaz.org - The World in Action

After nearly 50 years of Chinese rule, the Tibetans are sending out a global cry for change. Violence is spreading across Tibet and neighboring regions, and the Chinese regime is right now making a crucial choice between tougher crackdown or dialogue.

President Hu Jintao needs to hear that. Made in China; exports and the upcoming Olympics in Beijing will have the support of the world's people only if he chooses dialogue. But it will take an avalanche of global people power to get his attention. Click below to sign the petition - in just 3 days, the campaign is almost half way to the goal of 1 million signatures!

Thank you so much for your help - forward this email to friends!

not a chance in hell this will do any good.
China has already annexed Tibet culturally as well as militarily.

The Han influence is as ubiquitous there as Kentucy Fried Chicken is in Bejing. Sadly, Tibet is gonna be reduced to museum.

The ppl will never be free again, as long as China has hegemonious designs on th country.

The Chinese want there western provinces that are Muslim to remain under their grip.
They will not let Tibet start the unraveling

YouTube - US cops beat the shit out of tibetans

Incredible how the police escalated that situation!

At first you see some mild marchers yelling free Tibet, and by the end of the clip you have an army of police officers beating the shit out of people and all around causing more violence and more commotion than there was before the police arrived.

I guess the NYPD doesnt want to free Tibet.

Their uniforms are made in China. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. And nobody wants to see a cop naked. Except at bachelorette parties.
