Help Tibet
|
hi all, passing on the message, please do the same:
Dear Friends,
I am sure you have all seen what has been happening in Tibet. Tibetans by the thousands are risking their lives by peacefully standing up to tell the world that they do not accept China’s brutal rule in Tibet. Please support them. Many, Many people have been imprisoned and killed, including middle school children. You can visit www.phayul.com for up to date news and reports.
Please take a moment to follow this link http://www.studentsforafreetibet.org/article.php?id=1333 to a site where you can take action for Tibet in less than 5 minutes.
Thanks for your support. There is also a listing (on the right hand side of the web home page) of all the demonstrations happening around the country if you want to join us.
Thanks for your support.

I just came back from the Tibetan region of China closed to the press (by passing more than 5 check points illegally).
I entered a Tibetan Buddhist monastery where monks have been surrounded by Chinese police to prevent them to join the protests.
I was able to get exclusive photos and testimonies. No action photos, but a great reportage and great quotes, for which the Chinese police arrested me and kept me into custody for one hour.
You can have a look at the PDF with the story and photos here:
http://www.pictobank.com/tibet/KunghuaMonks25308.pdf (3.3 Mbs).
If an editor wants to publish the photos or if you have contacts to a magazine that maybe interested, please e-mail me.
Description of the photos : Chinese troops moving towards Tibet / Portraits of Tibetan monks / Atmosphere in city fearing lootings.
Looking forward your feedback,
Lucas

Over the past week, more than 1 million people (1,334,600) have signed Avaaz’s petition to Chinese President Hu Jintao to stop the crackdown on protesters in Tibet.
Given China’s concern for its international reputation, especially in light of the upcoming Olympics in Beijing, this type of response from millions of people from across the globe could have a powerful impact on China’s actions in Tibet.
To sign the petition and support the people of Tibet, click on this link.
