SFT Canada Confronts Continental Minerals Executives

Tibetans and supporters held two protests in Vancouver this past week; Saturday, June 20th in front in downtown Vancouver, and then again on Wednesday June 24th outside the Metropolitan Hotel where Continental Minerals held their annual general meeting. SFT Canada's National Director, Tsering Lama, was able to enter the AGM and confront Continental Minerals' executives, including CEO David Copeland, before being escorted out. Several SFT members from Vancouver and Victoria took part in a "die-in" action right outside the meeting room after being kicked out.

Tiananmen Massacre 20th Anniversary

Tibetans and their supporters will join Chinese democracy advocates for a march and candlelight vigil on Sunday, May 31st to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 4th. On this fateful day, the Chinese government ordered troops to open fire on unarmed students and pro-democracy activists killing tens of thousands; a massacre Beijing denies ever happened. The Chinese government continues to suppress any expression of support for democracy in China.

On June 3rd, the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre, Tibetans and their supporters in the USA, Germany, Japan, and India will also take part in marches and vigils to show solidarity with the Tiananmen massacre survivors and to appeal for democratic rights in China and freedom for Tibet.
