  *SFT does not encourage or condone the defacement of public or private property. Please do not put this image on sidewalks, signs, buildings, buses, Chinese government offices, parking garages, etc. Please do put this image on t-shirts, signs etc.
  

Document your action! We want to include photos of how you are taking action to Stop Mining in Tibet. Photos and updates (please include location) can be submitted to: photos@studentsforafreetibet.org

Please polite when you call and ask to speak to a company representative:

• Under Chinese occupation, Tibetans have no voice to determine the use of their own natural resources and have not consented to mining projects on their land.
• The Chinese government is pursuing large-scale resource extraction in Tibet as a means to consolidate control over the region by attracting thousands of ethnically Chinese migrant workers into Tibet, while transferring the profits from resource extraction out of Tibet.
• Tibetans who speak out against Chinese government sponsored projects - like mine operations - risk arrest, imprisonment and even torture.
• Tibetans want development and an end to the decades of poverty they have endured under Chinese rule, but oppose projects that do not benefit local Tibetans, are environmentally destructive, and allow China to further consolidate control over their land.
• Request that the company uphold its claim to be a responsible mining firm and immediately withdraw all operations from Tibet.

The following Canadian and British mining companies are also conducting exploratory or mining operations in Tibet. Click here to download a sample letter.
