Stop China's Crackdown on Tibet
Target: The United Nations and Olympic Games OfficialsSponsored by: Care2
Violence against protesters, monks and civilians in Tibet is quickly escalating as the deadly crackdown continues.
Only a few months away from the Beijing Summer Olympics, the Chinese government's violent attacks have already caused the death of around 100 people, while hundreds continue to be shot at, beat up and detained by China's security forces.
The atrocities committed to control these protests are a reminder of China's record of human rights abuses. The protests won't undermine the Olympics in China, but the brutal repression and use of force against the people of Tibet will.
We need you to sign this petition to the Olympic Games Officials and the United Nations to make sure help is on the way for the people of Tibet.

China's brutal oppression of the Tibetans, Uyghurs and others must not stand. Cancel or boycott the Beijing Olympics.

Even peace loving people can only be pushed so far. Did they really expect Tibet to accept Chinese occupation with a smile? Gandhi said that you will never govern a people who do not wish to be governed! Freedom for Tibet!

It is the most painful experience to watch the merciless crackdown of the rightful protest by Tibetans. Every nation is entitled to live in peace in their country. There is no historical justification for China's presence in Tibet, so live and let live! There are precedences in Europe (Poland, Soviet Union) where the subjected nations finally gained their freedom. Please act quickly now to avoid the bloodshed.

Once again, China does what it wants, to whom it wants, how it wants, and we stand by, not wanting to offend. We in the west need to take a stand, and let China know that we support Tibet in it's desire to be a free nation. It seems to me that the west stood by back in the 1930's when another aggressor did much the same thing. Are we going to let the almighty dollar rule our consciences ?

Each of you hold a lot of power that can can help to heal these abuses... I come from a city that hosted the Winter Olympics in 2002. To me, the Olympics represents world peace, unity in appreciation of diversity, and inclusiveness of all... this should include Tibet... something really needs to be done among human rights supporters of the world to speak out against these abuses and encourage a greater conscience among all.

The Tibetan violence is horrendous. This should prove that China has not improved its human rights policies. Sadly, the modern world will not speak up and reject China because of the tightly woven trading triangles.
