With international pressure we can keep the spotlight on China and Tibet and limit the expected crackdown.

BREAKING NEWS...

I've just had a phone update from the protest in London where Tibetans and supporters are demanding the right to peaceful protest and freedom of speech in Tibet. Norman Baker MP, Vice president of EU parliament Edward McMillan-Scott MEP, and Ngawang Sangdrol one of the Drapchi Nuns in the UK for a reunion tour have spoken after a minutes silence at 4pm. I could hear hundreds of supporters chanting Free Tibet in the background.

AFP has spoken to a foreigner in Lhasa. "It's awful... there are armed tanks rolling down the street. There appears to be a curfew here as hardly anyone is on the streets apart from a lot of army men in riot gear."

WHAT YOU CAN DO

1) Phone your MP and ask them to urge the government as a matter of urgency to take a strong stance against the crackdown. Through diplomatic pressure we can help protect the protesters.
Gorden Brown has come out with a weak stance, we can help him to toughen it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7301389.stm

2) Phone the Chinese government and tell them to halt the crackdown, tell them you are watching the situation:
