FYI: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lynn Chazotsang <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 11:27 PM Subject: Global Intervention for Tibet To:
Dear Friends Ten young Tibetans have set fire to themselves in eastern Tibet since March 2011; eight since 26 September. At least five have died including a nun. *These unprecedented and truly desperate acts are a cry to the outside world for help.* Seven of these self-immolations are linked to Kirti Monastery in Ngaba, one of the largest and most influential monastic institutions in Tibet. *China’s merciless *and *violent crackdown* in Ngaba and throughout Tibet *is intensifying Tibetan grievances* and *exacerbating the resentment and desperation felt across Tibet.* This growing tragedy, if left unchecked, could spiral even further into a nation-wide crisis, unless the world acts now. The international community, both citizens and governments, must *Stand Up for Tibet*. Global diplomatic intervention now will save Tibetan lives. We need to have 30,000 signatures by Thursday, November 3rd. Please visit http://standupfortibet.org/further-information/ and sign the pledge and encourage your friends to do the same. * * Thank you for your support Lynn Chazotsang (403) 235-0765 ------------------------------ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
