Tibet - what can we do ? How can we help ?



Tibetan flags flying proudly.

" Nordens Ljus " , I think it was, sang a lovely song.



ONE WORLD ONE DREAM , FREE TIBET !



Today I went to Medborgarplatsen, Stockholm to listen to politicians from each of the parties speak on behalf of Tibet and people who have no voice of their own, oppressed and tortured by the dictatorship of the Chinese government.


Peace through non violence and dialogue is what they all called for. An end to the gross violation of human rights.

We are the ones we have been waiting for. It is up to us now, those of us who have a voice and enjoy freedom of speech. It is up to us to act on behalf of those who cannot.

Call on President Bush not to attend the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in August. From Steven Spielberg to parlimentarians, many leaders are rethinking their involvement. We call on our leaders to stay away from the opening ceremonies in the wake of the bloody and continuing crackdown in Tibet. You may reach the U.S. President at 202-456-1111 or by email at comments@whitehouse.gov.

Urge your Congressional representatives to insist China not take the Olympic torch through Tibet in mid-June and ask that they call on China to open Lhasa to foreign media. ICT fears on humanitarian grounds that taking the torch through Lhasa will be seen as a provocation to Tibetans and lead to more unrest, arrests and repression.
