The Story
Stand in Solidarity with Tibet

Please join us as we Stand in Solidarity with Tibet on the occasion of Human Rights Day, on 10 December 2012.

Since 2009 there has been a continuing wave of self-immolations in Tibet. 89 Tibetans have set themselves on fire as a form of political protest so far. 25 self-immolations occurred in November alone.

Sadly, despite the increasing number of self-immolations, the international community remains largely unaware of what is going on inside Tibet. The Chinese government has responded to the self-immolations with further repressive policies, and sentencing of individuals suspected of having shared information regarding the self-immolations with the outside world. We need your help, through grassroots support, to ensure that accurate information about events in Tibet is widely disseminated and accessible to all.

“Despite our repeated appeals not to take drastic actions, self-immolations continue in Tibet. Therefore, I appeal to the international community and governments to stand for justice by answering the universal aspirations of Tibetans in Tibet: the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet and freedom for Tibetans,” said Sikyong Dr. Lobsang Sangay, the democratically-elected leader of the Tibetan people and the political successor to His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet.

Please join us, as we stand in #SolidarityWithTibet. Tell your friends to support #HumanRights in #Tibet.

The Facts

The wave of self-immolations continues in Tibet with over 92 Tibetans having set themselves on fire to date - 79 in 2012 including 28 in November alone, but the worst situation of all is the huge populations around the world that are unaware of the unjustifiable and unbearable torture being committed inside Tibet.

The Chinese government has responded with more repressive measures than ever. The Tibetan people maintain their steadfast efforts to make the current situation in Tibet known to the global community including political leaders, business men and women, opinion makers, friends in the media, and people whom believe in justice.

The self-immolators have been calling for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet and for the restoration of freedom for Tibetan people.


Request

We request you to support Tibet in their peaceful movement to spread the word on the current issues facing Tibetans and the severity of self-immolation.
We also need the help of the Chinese people, International bodies and Governments, Human Rights Organizations, and the general public.
Together we can make a difference by pulling efforts to raise the awareness about the dire situation in Tibet and exert pressure on the Chinese Communist Government to resolve the issue of Tibet through dialogue.

Action

We appeal to friends and members of the International community to consider taking the following actions:
• Sign-up on ThunderClap to share a synchronized message at (Thunderclap for Tibet) so that today (Human Rights Day) as many people as possible will be made aware of the current situation in Tibet through the Solidarity with Tibet Campaign.
• Share the link to the micro site (www.solidaritywithtibet.org) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/SolidarityWithTibet) with your circle of friends
• Share the link to the video on self-immolations and help us make it go viral; (What's China doing in Tibet?)
• Share the video message with your friends (www.facebook.com/TibetWorld)

Thank you from all at Tibet World
