Call to Action on Kirti: Two Tibetans killed, hundreds of monks detained
The situation in Ngaba has worsened; please find below ICT's news report on the events of last night when more than 300 monks were detained and two elderly Tibetans who tried to stop this were beaten and killed. You can also read this story on http://phayul.com/.
It's a holiday weekend in many parts of the world, but Beijing embassies will still be staffed and journalists are still writing stories, so it's vital this news is circulated as far as possible as quickly as possible.
1. Please contact Beijing embassies and governments asking for urgent, robust diplomatic action (demarches, calling in China's ambassador, sending our ambassadors to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs etc)
* calling for the crackdown to stop and security forces to withdraw.
* all detainees to be released immediately.
* for the area to be opened up to diplomatic observers and the media.
Please also ask your government for a strong public statement of concern. Contact details for Beijing embassies can be found here: http://www.chinahighlights.com/embassy/embassy-in-china/beijing/
2. Protest: if there was ever a time since 2008 for China to hear our outrage, it is now. Tendor and people from Ngaba are outside China's New York consulate right now.
