April 6, 2008, the Tibetan Solidarity Committee posted this plea on internet sites throughout the globe. It seems reasonable to allow media and humanitarian aide into Tibet to assist the people and to report the facts of the situation to the rest of the world. Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are poised on the border of Tibet. This may be the only chance the world has to prevent the genocide of the Tibetan peoples and their culture.

Pleas from the Tibetan Solidarity Committee

In view of the present crisis in Tibet, we urgently appeal to the UN and the International community to:

1. Immediately dispatch independent fact finding delegations to Tibet
2. Immediately allow free press to cover the whole of Tibet
3. Immediately end the brutal killings in the whole of Tibet
4. Immediately release all arrested and imprisoned Tibetans
5. Extend immediate medical assistance to the injured Tibetans
6. Allow free movement of people and provide access to daily needs
