For so long Tibetan people have suffered in silence for fear of inprisonment or torture at the hands of the Chinese Government. But reading recent news stories, it seems that enough is enough. In the last 6 months 7 monks have set themselves on fire in Tibet in a bid to draw global attention to their campaign.

It now seems that many more young Tibetan people are wiling to do the same. "This is one of the worlds greatest and longest standing human rights crisis". But what is being done to stop it. China is such a powerful and controling country. It may seem like there is nothing we can do, but there is. Go to the Free Tibet website. Sign the petition to Party Secretary of Sichuan, Liu Qibao.
