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.

Unfortunately, Chinese citizens have been lied to for so long by their government that they don't have a clue about the recent and ancient history of Tibet. The Chinese people have never been told of the horrible atrocities carried out by the Chinese Army on Tibetans and their culture.

I firmly believe that China has NO RIGHT to be occupying Tibet at all. They should remove ALL their troops and leave the Tibetan people to live as Tibetans and not try to turn them Chinese. Their stance on human rights is well known in the west, basically you agree with their policies or you get arrested. FREE TIBET FROM THE CHINESE!!!

The freedom of Tibete it's in our hands. Although we have choosen a peaceful way to defend their rights, we have to show the unfair situation(s) that Tibetans are living about 50 years. We have to "fight", argue, scream. I hope that our voices could be heard all around the world.
