Dhondup Wangchen, a Tibetan filmmaker unjustly detained in March 2008, is awaiting trial on charges of "inciting separatism." His lawyers are being barred from representing him, casting serious doubt over the fairness of the trial. Dhondup Wangchen has reportedly been tortured while in detention and is in very poor health.

Welcome! Tibet Online is operated by the
international Tibet Support Group community, providing information on
the plight of Tibet and serving as a virtual community space for the
movement. This movement is dedicated to ending the suffering of the
Tibetan people by returning the right of self-determination to the
Tibetan people.
Tibet's ancient and fantastic civilization and ecosystem are faced with
extinction due to 59 years of mismanagement and abuse under its colonial
ruler, the People's Republic of China. The ongoing destruction of Tibet
will only be halted when the fate of Tibet is once again back in the
hands of the Tibetans. Please contact a Tibet
Support Group near you to find out what you can do to help!
The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Dharamsala,
India, often has the first news and pictures of fresh
protests in Tibet, as well as information on sentencing of Tibetans
arrested.
