Ask the President of the USA elected in 2008 to help end genocide in Tibet.
Sign the new Petition at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/003/petition.html Over 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed since the occupation of Tibet by the Chinese communist Government. 6000 monasteries have been destroyed. More than half of the Tibetan forests have been destroyed and animals are being eliminated in record numbers. China has also admitted to dumping Nuclear waste in the Tibetan Plateau.
The tortures and arrests continue daily and the Tibetan people have lost their right to their own country, their language and even their religion. Tibetan children can't go to school because they are charged more than many families make in a whole year, so they are forced to send their children to India or Nepal to be cared for by the Tibetan exiled community. These children are frequently sent with monks and nuns escaping prosecution on a month long trip over the Himalayan mountains, and when they don't perish from hunger and cold, they frequently get shot at or captured by Chinese guards. The Chinese government has even chosen an illegitimate Panchen Lama after capturing the original Panchen Lama who was five years old at the time and had been selected by the Dalai Lama. He was never seen again.
It is time to stop with the genocide, the tortures, the human rights violation. It is time to show the USA really is a country that values freedom and justice.
We ask the president of the USA elected in 2008 to pressure China to release Tibet from its aggressive occupation. To end the ethnic cleansing that threatens the very existence of the Tibetan people and culture and to return Tibet to the Tibetan people.

 It's time to help the Tibetan people have a voice. For over 50 years they have been subjected to murder, tortures, oppression, the occupation of their land and the gradual and systematic destruction of their culture. In the past years Tibetans have tried peaceful protests in an attempt to show the world that there is a dire need for help.
The new wave of protests started on Monday, March 10th, Tibetan Uprising day when 500 monks from Drepung monastery staged a rare march in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa to ask for human rights and freedom of religion, an act that the Chinese government called "an illegal activity that threatened social stability." About 2,000 Chinese security personnel fired tear gas to try to disperse 600 monks and started beating and arresting them. Over 60-70 monks were captured. In seeing their monks being beaten, the Tibetan people, in an outburst of the frustration that has been brewing in the region for over 50 years started breaking the chinese signs and business that have now replaced all of the Tibetans in the city of Lhasa. The violence escalated and over 80 people were killed by the chinese police. Torture is common tratment to those arrested for political reasons and many die in prison.
