Free Tibet

Dhondup Wangchen, the Tibetan filmmaker who made the ground-breaking documentary, "Leaving Fear Behind", has been charged with "inciting separatism" and is awaiting trial in Siling in eastern Tibet (Chinese: Xining, Qinghai Province). Chinese authorities have barred his lawyers from representing him, casting serious doubt over the fairness of the trial process.

Dhondup Wangchen has been detained since March 2008 and has suffered torture and ill-treatement at the hands of the Chinese authorities. He is being targeted for simply exercising his right to freedom of expression, and the charges against him are part of the Chinese government's widespread campaign to punish and silence Tibetan voices of dissent.
