The Free Tibet Campaign keeps the world informed on what is going on inside Tibet. And mobilises support for the Free Tibet campaign around the globe.
Tibet has been occupied by China since 1950 and the 14th Dalai Lama since 1959, has been forced to live in exile in India working with a Tibet Government in Exile. The head of the Tibetan Buddhism, which used to be based in Lhasa, he has expressed no hatred towards the Chinese and sought to work for Tibetan autonomy, showing genuine compassion, integrity and kindness. He is the epitomy of non-violence, following on from the teachings of Gandhi.
It is believed that the Chinese government plans to put a ‘puppet’ Dalai Lama in his Holy Holiness’s place when he dies.
There are many campaigns and organisations fighting for a move towards a free Tibet in some form.
