In the end 70 people, including 3 Tibetans took part in 9 creative and bold non-violent direct actions from August 7-22 in Beijing to amplify the voices of Tibetans inside Tibet, who braved everything this past Spring to speak out for human rights and freedom. On the eve of the opening ceremonies, Tibetans and their supporters organized high profile actions in solidarity with Tibet in cities worldwide.

HDI/Continental: Stop Mining Tibet!

Posted on December 12th, 2008 by Home

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!
