Free Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen

Speak now. Open the door for a prisoner of conscience. "In Tibet, the Chinese authorities are making Tibetan people suffer. For these reasons my father risked his freedom and his life." - Tenzin Dadon, Dhondup Wangchen's daughter Show solidarity with Dhondup, his wife Lhamo Tso, and their daughter Tenzin. Dear Tracy, When Dhondup Wangchen picked up a video camera for the first time in his life, he knew it was at great personal risk. His film, "Leaving Fear Behind," criticizes China's promise of greater freedom in the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. China's repression in Tibet has only worsened. Dhondup Wangchen was severely punished for the film. Tried in secret, tortured and denied treatment for his health condition, Dhondup Wangchen is serving an unbelievable 6-year sentence for "inciting separatism." Demand Dhondup Wangchen's immediate and unconditional release. Dhondup Wangchen is one of 10 urgent human rights cases highlighted in Amnesty International's 2013 Write for Rights campaign, the world's largest and most effective letter-writing event. Tibetans need strong voices like Dhondup Wangchen's to stand with them against the assault on their human rights: Nomads are evicted from their pastures Schoolchildren are expelled for requesting Tibetan textbooks Monasteries are under constant surveillance Several Tibetans have responded with desperate acts of protest – including setting themselves on fire – as a last attempt to demand the same freedom and rights to which every human being is entitled. Use your voice to free prisoner of conscience Dhondup Wangchen. Each one of us, acting together, has the power to open a prison door and free someone whose human rights are being violated. Dhondup Wangchen risked everything – his family, his livelihood, his life – to help the Tibetan people speak of their views and their suffering to the world. Let's show him it was worth it. Take action now.
