Help fight China's Propaganda: Tell the world about Tibetans' suffering.

23.03.2009

The Chinese authorities have stooped to a new low in their efforts to rewrite history. Their latest propaganda campaign declares March 28th "Serf Emancipation Day" - an annual "holiday" to "celebrate the liberation of Tibet."

In reality, March 28th marks the beginning of 50 years of Tibet's enslavement - the fateful day when Chinese authorities dissolved the Tibetan government following the Dalai Lama's escape from Lhasa and unleashed a wave of suffering on Tibetans that continues today.

For the past five decades, Tibetans have been living in chains under Chinese-ruled Tibet. Now, the Chinese government wants to celebrate 50 years of Tibet's enslavement.

Let's show the Chinese leadership that no matter how hard they try, the world will never believe their lies. The global community knows the truth of China's 50 years of brutal occupation in Tibet.

TAKE ACTION

Tell the world what you know 50 years of Chinese occupation has meant for the Tibetan people:

• Record a 60 second video of yourself explaining in your own words what you know to be the reality of China's occupation in Tibet. Watch a sample video.

• Record your family members, friends, chapter members or people in your community. We will post the videos on the SFT blog and website.
• If you aren't able to record a video, send us a short written statement (max 100 words).

Instructions for submitting videos:
Make sure the movie file is a .MOV or .AVI file. Make sure your video is under 100MB.

The Chinese government is doing everything in its power to silence Tibetans inside Tibet, but their supporters around the world will continue to speak out on their behalf.

Help us show the Chinese authorities that the world knows the truth about Tibet, and that their propaganda only serves to strengthen the resolve of Tibetans and supporters everywhere to fight for Tibet's freedom.

Thank you speaking the truth about China's occupation of Tibet,

Lhadon, Tendor, Heather, Chand and Kate
