Ask the PM to meet at Downing Street

Back in March Gordon Brown promised to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama in London. We assumed that meant in Downing Street, just like John Major and Tony Blair before him.

Looks like we were wrong! The plan is now for the meeting to take place at Lambeth Palace so that the meeting can be called a religious one. A meeting at Downing Street would send a much stronger signal to China's government that their recent activities in Tibet are not acceptable.

Send an email to the PM asking him to meet the Dalai Lama at Downing street.

SFT UK's daring action on Westminster Bridge and the London Olympics Torch protests

Four SFT UK activists were detained on the 5th April after two abseiled off Westminster Bridge and unfurled a 74 square meter protest banner reading, “One World, One Dream: Free Tibet 2008,” mocking China’s Olympics slogan “One World, One Dream.” The action took place on the eve of the controversial arrival of China’s Olympic torch relay in London, amidst mounting pressure on the International Olympic Committee to remove all Tibetan areas from the relay route.
