From the Communiqué

29 May 2007

TAKE ACTION! SUPPORT BHUTAN'S EXILED MEDIA

Journalists in Bhutanese refugee camps in Nepal need your support. An estimated one sixth of the Bhutanese population, particularly the Lhotshampa minority, was forcibly evicted from the country during the early 1990s, with many of them now living in refugee camps in Nepal and India. Back in Bhutan, almost all of the media is controlled by the state.
