Dhondup Wangchen Protest in NYC
July 30, 2009, Members from SFT and the 5 New York Tibetan organizations held an emergency protest to call on the Chinese Government to release Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen.
The Chinese government has charged Dhondup Wangchen, the Tibetan filmmaker who made Leaving Fear Behind, of “inciting separatism,” a charge which carries a severe prison sentence in China. His trail will be held in Siling in eastern Tibet (Chinese: Xining, Qinghai Province).
Dhondup Wangchen’s lawyers have been barred from representing him, casting serious doubt over the fairness of his trial. He has been subject to torture while in detention and is in very poor health.
