Urgent Action Campaigns

YOU can help make a difference for a free Tibet by taking part in our Urgent Action Campaigns.

Urgent Action Campaigns is a system by which supporters are contacted about cases as they happen in Tibet, and advised about how to speak up about the detention of political prisoners, the decisions of political figures and new policies which damage the Tibetan people and culture. We will let you know what is happening, who to write to and what to say to urge for action on issues which affect Tibet. Signing up for Urgent Actions is easy and can be done online using the contact box below. You may specify whether you wish to recieve updates by post or e-mail, but we ask you to donate to this scheme if possible, as these donations not only pay for postage costs, but also allow us to get more information out of Tibet and accurately challenge cases which come to light.

Urgent Action successes
