Take action- Video appeal against the execution of 2 Tibetans by China

2009 May 10

Please help to spread this video appeal by Ngawang Sangdrol, a former Tibetan political prisoner who spent 11 years in Chinese prison.

Her message highlights the situation of Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak – two Tibetans sentenced to death by China for their alleged involvement in last year’s protests in Lhasa. Without a reprieve, they could be executed at any time.

Ngawang Sangdrol knows firsthand the difference individuals can make. She was imprisoned at age 13 for protesting against Chinese rule. Tibetans and supporters launched a global campaign for her release after she and a group of nuns, who became known as the ‘Drapchi 14′, recorded freedom songs and smuggled them out of Tibet’s notorious Drapchi prison.

Ngawang Sangdrol and her fellow nuns are free today because people worldwide mounted incredible pressure on the Chinese government for their release.

If you are on Facebook, please sign the petition to Chinese President Hu Jintao calling for an immediate halt to the executions: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/petitions/155?m=fee3b03e

With the goal of 10,000 signatures please post the petition on your Facebook page, blog, and website. Spread the word…
