when peaceful protestors are beaten and jailed...when human rights defenders are threatened and assaulted for daring to speak the truth...when fast action can mean the difference between life and death...recent news about the crackdown on rights and freedoms in tibet is a clear case for urgent action...hundreds of monks took to the streets in peaceful protest against the government's "patriotic re-education" campaign which forced them to renounce the dalai lama...as demonstrations spread throughout various communities, chinese authorities responded with force...citizens reportedly were dragged from their homes and beaten...
in the midst of this unrest, at least 15 tibetan monks have been detained and are at significant risk of being tortured and severely mistreated...their whereabouts are currently unknown...they need your help...they need your urgent action...
unfortunately, cases such as these are not rare...every year, the members of amnesty international’s urgent action network mobilize to help hundreds of people, like these 15 tibetan monks, who are facing imminent and often life-threatening human rights violations...this vast worldwide network of concerned human rights activists are ready to take immediate action in defense of those who have been arbitrarily detained, threatened for their beliefs, and/or tortured by authorities...
get connected to the urgent action network, stay connected to human rights...make yours one of the thousands of messages that send a powerful signal to government officials that their actions are being watched...your letters can make a difference and are the reason so many of our cases result in success...
peace out <3
