International Campaign for Tibet

China, Tibet

Freedom of religion & belief, Police brutality, Torture/ill treatment

ICT has been helping to advance the Tibetan cause - and the vision and leadership of the Dalai Lama - for over 20 years. We do so by working with governments and in international forums to mobilize support for Tibet and to protect the human rights of the Tibetan people. We work to investigate and expose human rights violations within Tibet and to encourage a dialogue between the Chinese government and the Tibetan government in exile.

Small Places Tour

Global

Crimes against humanity, Freedom of opinion & expression, Freedom of religion & belief

Amnesty International marks the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the ‘Small Places Tour’. Inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt’s call for ‘concerted citizen action’ in her famous “small places” speech in 1958, musicians and fans will raise their voices in song and action in venues, cities, towns, communities, neighborhoods and workplaces. Through hundreds of concerts held around the world, we will draw attention to urgent human rights concerns, recruit thousands of new human rights activists and, hopefully, raise much needed funds for Amnesty campaigns. Amnesty’s 2008 priority campaigns include working to stop violence against women, stopping torture, ending the killing in Darfur, controlling small arms, demanding the closure of Guantánamo, challenging China’s human rights record including its actions in Tibet and working for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners in Burma.
