Help Runggye Adak

 

Runggye Adak was sentenced to eight years imprisonment on 20th November 2007 after calling for the Dalai Lama to return to Tibet.

As a result of our lobbying, Norman Baker has put down an all purpose Adak/Tibet EDM:

For the EDM to become meaningful, we need at least 200 MPs to sign.

Write to your MP NOW. Express your support for Runggye Adak and ask them to sign the EDM.

This is the link you should quote to your MP:

You can find your MP's e-mail address here.

If you require a sample text for your e-mail, you can cut and paste the following paragraph:

Dear (MP NAME OR SALUTATION HERE)

I am writing with concern regarding the case of a Tibetan nomad who is currently awaiting his sentence on charges of 'provocation to subvert state power.'

Runggye Adak faces up to 15 years imprisonment and possibly the prospect of death in jail merely for stating publically that he would like the Dalai Lama to return to Tibet.

In support of Runggye Adak, and in the spirit of the free speech which China has claimed it will offer in the build-up to the Beijing Olympics of 2008, Norman Baker MP has set up an Early Day Motion.

I hope that you will join Mr. Baker in condemning the actions of the Chinese police during Runggye Adak's arrest by signing the EDM, which can be found here:
