Pray for Tibet

And for all those whose expression for freedom will cost them their lives under the unforgiving hand of China. This video shows peaceful protesters being arrested in India. It's only a fragment of the brutality and terror faced by those who will be punished for protesting in Lhasa and other areas in Tibet.



Darfur and Lhasa....China, this is what the world sees as you are blinded by the glare of the Olympic torch you polish so vainly.

I really hope that some change can come of this. The 2008 Olympics have been called China's post Tiananmen coming out party. The government's desire to focus attention on a strong economy is a bluff that needs to be called.

One of the most important things to do in this situation is just to keep talking about it. Get the conversation out there, and keep Tibet in the news.

I signed this petition - avaaz seems to be a well organized, occasionally effective group.

Thanks babe! Avaaz was co-founded by MoveOn.org - great pedigree!
