Stop China's Crackdown on Tibet

Target: The United Nations and Olympic Games Officials
Sponsored 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.

Dear Human Rights Commissioner and Olympic Games Officials:

We are outraged by the abuse of power displayed by the Chinese government to suppress the protests in Tibet.

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.

We demand that you urge China to end the crackdown immediately. The protesters grievances should not be addressed through the use of force but with an open and peaceful dialogue. Freedom of expression is a basic human right that should be respected and not punished with violence.

In addition, the UN should visit Tibet as soon as possible to carry out an investigation into the security forces' attacks and make the findings from that investigation public.

We can't remain silent while these abuses are taking place. We urge you to speak up and take urgent steps to end the crackdown and protect the people of Tibet.

The world needs to refuse to deal with China on any level until it ceases all human rights abuses and learns to solve its problems at the negotiating table.

Stop the violence. Try respect for differing views and negotiation for a peaceful solution.

Tibet should be free to select its own government. It sould never of come under China's rule. The Dalai Lama should be able to go back to his own country without any threat from the Chinese.

power... many kinds of powers exist in life, i cant fight a mountain coz im not made of rocks, i can bomb the mountain but its unfair.. anything can loose if was faced with other kind of power specially guns..... fight me with something i have, this is fair.. arnold shwarzeneger cant fight michael jackson!! bodybuilder fights bodybuilder, not an artist... let the wisdom of china fight the wisdom of tibet..this is fair, i wish all wars starts that way.. we will soon creat heaven on earth... even if there is no god,no soul,no heaven & hell... even science says that love is weakness... going to the extreme is not evolution..its demolishing existence.. its important to discover but time.. time,dont forget time, u cant have a tree full of fruits in 3 days!! we will reach that last point one day, but step by step, we all want to discover & know, but knowledge cant be faster than time... u want me to beleive something, then u have to convince me first & that needs time.. there is god or not, killing & hurting & make others sad will not let us know,, till that time we must protect eachother & care.. we must live our day instead of planning to live next day & next day we plan to live the following day till we die & none of our days have been lived.. u cant make someone calm if u r not calm, u cant bring peace from violence.. dont go to extreme evil & dont go to extreme goodness, perfection is in the middle.. but we all pass paying no attention to it, we think its the starting point to go left or right!! evil or goodness.. but that point is the perfection itself.. try to understand my scientific&spiritual mixed letter.. namaste..

David and Goliath. Tibet and China. If we ran our families by the wisdom of whoever is the strongest and wins the fight... or whoever has the biggest weapons or most power wins the fight.... how would our families be? Negotiation & peace!!!

No country has the right to tyrannize it's own people let alone another country and a lovely and peaceful people like the tibetans.
