A Message from Peacefriends - Tibet

Hi,

I've just joined the urgent campaign to send Kevin Rudd to China with a message to stand up for the human rights of Tibetans.

As Australians, we are in a unique position to help stop the cultural genocide taking place right now in Tibet.

Kevin Rudd happens to be the world leader who not only can speak to the Chinese leaders in their own language, but is visiting Beijing the week after next to meet the President and the Premier. Add to that the impending Beijing Olympics, where the world's eyes will focus on China, and we have a once in a generation chance to resolve this crisis.

As you read this, Tibetans are burying an unknown number of their dead from these recent protests - the number is unknown because China is keeping out all international media and human rights monitors. But China can't afford too much damage to its international reputation, and will listen to Australia's concerns.
