Nepal Repatriates Tibetans to China, Protest Planned in Toronto

Posted by Home on Jul 29, 2010 in Global Contributors, SFT Global | 0 comments
Nepal has deported Tibetan refugees back to Tibet for the first time in 7 years. Two of the three Tibetans are now in jail in Tibet. This action sets a dangerous precedent for Tibetans escaping to India via Nepal. The Nepalese government has violated their own agreement with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to allow safe transit of Tibetan refugees to India. 
Send a letter to Ms. Sujata Koirala, Nepal's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, calling on Nepal to uphold the rights of Tibeatn refugees!
 
If you're in the Toronto area on Tuesday, August 3rd, come join us and protest at the Nepalese Consulate from 12-1pm.

This July 6th, His Holiness the Dalai Lama turns 75 years old. We at Students for a Free Tibet Canada celebrate this important milestone by rededicating ourselves to Working for Tibet until Tibet is free.
 
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has worked tirelessly on behalf of the Tibetan people for many decades. On this special day we recognize his sacrifice and also highlight the dedication of SFT Canada’s supporters who through their Work for Tibet, teach us how to be leaders in politics, in the community and in school.
