End China's Human Rights Abuses in Tibet Before the 2008 Olympics

Although China is known around the world for violating human rights in Tibet, the International Olympic Committee chose Beijing as the site for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Tens of thousands of Tibetans have been forced to leave their homeland due to the brutal Chinese occupation.

China's current policy toward Tibet includes:

Imprisoning and torturing Tibetans who speak out against the Chinese occupation of Tibet;
Violating religious freedoms, including abducting one of Tibet's most important religious figures when he was only six years old. The boy has not been seen since 1995;
Failing to provide adequate education and health care to Tibetan children, and to eradicate child malnutrition and preventable illnesses; and
Enforcing laws that discriminate against Tibetan identity, culture, and religion.

China has a historic opportunity to change its treatment of Tibetans and show the world that it's worthy to host the 2008 Olympics by negotiating a peace agreement with Tibet's exiled leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Let China know that its successful Olympic bid does NOT mean the world sanctions its mistreatment of Tibetans! CALL ON CHINA TO END HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN TIBET.
