TAKE ACTION
  
     
   
  1. Join Free Tibet

  2. Spread the word!  By helping Free Tibet raise awareness about torture YOU will be creating accountability and can help end torture in Tibet.  If every visitor to the Free Tibet website forwarded the video testimonies to one hundred of their friends, the reality of torture would reach every Londoner in under a month. New York, Paris, the world next!

  3. Write to British Foreign Secretary William Hague. You can copy and paste the text below or download and print this postcard to the Foreign Secretary

    Dear Foreign Secretary

    China has introduced new regulations including on the use of evidence obtained through torture. However, the regulations are lacking in detail and critically do not ban outright the use of evidence secured through torture from court proceedings.

    In the coalition manifesto the government has committed to 'closer engagement with China, while standing firm on human rights'. As a supporter of Free Tibet's Stop Torture in Tibet campaign I would like to know what steps the coalition government is taking to ensure that China ends the routine and widespread use of torture in Tibet and China.

  4. Write to the Chinese Representative in your country and condemn the widespread use of torture in China and Tibet. Call on the Chinese authorities to end torture in Tibet.

Urge the Chinese authorities to:

  1. Issue a standing invitation to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.
  2. Account for the status and whereabouts of over 1,000 missing Tibetans who were detained following the 2008 mass protests.
  3. Abolish all forms of forced education including patriotic re-education campaigns. Forced education creates the very conditions where torture is likely to take place.
  4. Amend the Chinese Criminal Procedure Law to explicitly state that any confession obtained through torture is inadmissible in all proceedings.
