Canadian mining company HDI/Continental Minerals is leading the effort to exploit Tibet's natural resources. Given China's ongoing crackdown in Tibet, local Tibetans are in no position to give their free, prior, and informed consent to mining projects, which pose a grave threat to their basic human rights. Furthermore, mine operations have devistating consequences for the Tibetan people's culture, livelihood and local environment.

On December 10th, International Human Rights Day, SFTers protested outside Continental's head office in Vancouver with massive banners.  Read about it on our blog! 

Take action now! Sign a letter to Continental President and CEO David Copeland urging him to pull out of Tibet immediately.

Call Continental Minerals at 604-684-8092 and Hunter Dickinson Inc at 1-800-667-2114 as well!

Fifteen minutes of 'Freeze for Tibet' was observed in the morning at the Lecture Theatre Building followed by the same an hour later. Tibet's presence was felt in the campus with banners and Flags hung throughout the building.

Later in the afternoon, signatures were collected for a pettion for tibet from various students passing by. Leaflets and flyers were distributed to keep people aware and informed on the tibetan cause.
