SFT's Lhadon Tethong Reports from China


Lhadon speaks out one year before the Beijing Olympics

SFT's Executive Director Lhadon Tethong is in Beijing for the one-year countdown to the 2008 Olympic Games. From the heart of the nation that has brutally occupied her homeland for over 50 years, she is reporting on the Chinese government's attempts to use the Olympics to obscure the occupation of Tibet, and how we will "challenge them at every turn." Check out Lhadon's new blog: Beijing Wide Open.

Before leaving for Beijing, she recorded a video message to Tibetans and Tibet supporters everywhere – watch it here. SFT has issued a press release about her activities – read it here.
