Help stop torture in Tibet
Free Tibet supporters can help keep pressure on China to live up to their responsibility to end torture in Tibet by writing to politicians in your area.
Free Tibet has found that politicians are keen to respond to voters in their constituencies who express their outrage at torture in Tibet, and their responses can be useful in seeing what politicians are willing to do to help us demand that torture in Tibet is brought to an end.
