Students for a Free Tibet

"They didn't bring us here to change the past."

#FreeTibet

This report has shed a global spotlight on China's TNR efforts, and yet Tibet activists know that there is much more work to do. China has targeted Tibet activists for decades, and SFT will continue to fight to expose the CCP's attempts to smother the truth.

Today, 20+ of the top media outlets of the US, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the UK, Italy, and more, published articles that reported on the findings of the ICIJ about how China is operating in each of these countries to target activists and silence dissent.

Contributing hours of interviews and gigabytes of photographic evidence to this international effort, SFT members spoke about their experiences dealing with intimidation and harassment from pro-CCP actors across the world.

BREAKING: For over a year, SFT worked with the ICIJ to contribute to this groundbreaking global investigation exposing China's tactics of transnational repression used to silence Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hong Kongers, and Chinese dissidents around the world.

Tibetans inside Tibet are on the frontlines of the global climate crisis, trying to protect Tibet's environment irrevocable harm is done to this sacred landscape and innumerable lives are lost in the nations that rely on Tibet's water.

China's exploitative gold, lithium, and rare earth mineral mining is a searing modern-day example of extractive colonialism.

China is building the world's largest system of mega-dams that are destroying Tibet's valleys and rivers and threatening the lives of two billion people who live in downstream nations that depend on Tibet's water.

On this Earth Day, Tibet's sacred environment is being ravaged by the Chinese government.

A Free Tibet is climate justice.
