Tibet's cry for help


A rising number of Tibetans are taking their lives through self  
immolation in a desperate cry to the world to stop the escalating  
Chinese crackdown. As shocked citizens, we call on you to urgently  
send an independent high-level mission to the area and to speak out  
against the ongoing repression. Only coordinated and swift diplomatic  
action can stop this crisis.


This year alone we have witnessed 11 cases of self immolation inside  
Tibet. Tibetans inside are experiencing one of its greatest height of  
oppression under the Chinese regime and they need your help more than  
ever.

Recently incredible footage of the nun Palden Choetso (35) from Tawu,  
Tibet who set herself on fire on November 3, 2011 to protest China's  
occupation (see here: http://youtu.be/EeXfQLZ9Id4). Various  
international and national mainstream news media have started covering  
the story and the footage.

The crisis in Tibet demands global diplomatic intervention now. Now is  
the time to intensify our efforts and increase pressure on key world  
leaders who have influence over China.

You can help raise the global alarm. Avaaz, an international advocacy  
group that works in solidarity with people campaigning for human  
rights and justice worldwide, has launched a petition to "Save Tibetan  
Lives".

More than 644,500 people have already signed the petition, but we need  
more. 1,00,000 signatures will help significantly raise the profile of  
this campaign.
