You mean of course Paljor Norbu: http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2008/12/05/an 81-year-old man and printer of traditional Tibetan Buddhist texts, who was sentenced to 7 years in prison. Read Human Rights Watch's press release calling for international action on his behalf. The unjust sentencing of Paljor Norbu, and so many other Tibetans, is part of China's intensifying crackdown against the Tibetan people's basic human rights.

We can take action here.

Today many people will celebrate the 60 anniversary day of the Human Right Declaration
worldwide - whereever they are. We can stand up with people all over the world who want to make human rights a reality for Chinese, Tibetans and for everyone.; ▶ Reply to This
