Act now to help release Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen

Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen was arrested in March 2008 and charged with "inciting separatism," but he was committing no crime, merely documenting the views of ordinary Tibetans in the lead up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He has been tortured whilst in detention, is in poor health and has been denied medical treatment. Join the filmmaker's wife, Lhamo Tso, in calling for his release. Sign the petition here.
