SFT's Tenzin Dorjee in Tibet before the historic Everest protest
TIBET ACTIVISTS FREED
China expels five activists detained after Everest protest
Five Tibetan independence activists were released early Friday morning by Chinese authorities in Tibet. Tenzin Dorjee, Kirsten Westby, Laurel Mac Sutherlin and Shannon Service were detained on Wednesday for protesting China’s plans to take the Olympic torch over Mount Everest and through Tibet ahead of the Beijing Olympic Games. American Jeff Friesen was taken into custody on Thursday for suspected involvement in the protest; all five arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal at 8:30pm local time/10am EST.
"I am so happy to have seen my country for the first time," said SFT's Deputy Director Tenzin Dorjee, the first known Tibetan exile to have returned to Tibet in order to protest for independence. "I am more confident than ever before that Tibet will be free."

Free Tibet Olympics Protest on Mount Everest: Massive Worldwide Media Coverage
Tibet Activists Demonstrate at Base Camp While Chinese Team Attempts Olympic Torch Ascent
Four Tibetan independence activists, including one Tibetan-American, remain in detention today after demonstrating at Mount Everest’s main base camp in Tibet on Wednesday, unfurling a banner reading “One World, One Dream, Free Tibet 2008” in English, and “Free Tibet” in Tibetan and Chinese.
The protest coincided with the International Olympic Committee’s deliberations on the final Beijing 2008 Olympic torch relay route and preempted a Chinese trial expedition to the summit with the Olympic torch. The action has generated massive international media attention [read more here] and applied critical pressure on the IOC and Beijing. The last reports were that the activists were in detention but had sent a text by phone to say they were safe and were able to speak to a reporter by cell phone from detention.
Gendhun Choekyi Nyima, the 11th Panchen Lama turned 18 years old on April 25th, 2007.
Gedhun Choekyi Nyima was kidnapped by the Chinese authorities just 2 months after he was officially recognized in 1995 as the Panchen Lama, one of Tibet's most important religious leaders. For over a decade he has been held under house arrest and Chinese authorities have denied foreign diplomats and United Nations representatives access to him, saying that he is pursuing his studies and wishes to be left alone. With his coming of age, the Chinese government can no longer claim to speak on Gendhun Choekyi Nyima's behalf.
Please join or plan an action in your community to help secure the release of Tibet's Panchen Lama. Visit http://FreeThePanchenLama.org for creative action ideas.

Update: Nangpa Pass Detainee Released
Keep the Pressure on China!
In late January, one of the Nangpa Pass detainees, a 15 year boy, safely reached Dharamsala, India, nearly three months after he'd been shot at by Chinese border guards for attempting to cross into Nepal. According to his statement, several of the Tibetans arrested following the September 30th attack at Nangpa Pass, between the border of Nepal and Tibet, have been freed. Thank you to everyone worldwide who took action to help secure their release.
Sadly, the young boy described the torture and mistreatment the detainees endured at the hands of the Chinese authorities. Click here to learn more. Please take a moment to print and send a follow-up letter to your foreign affairs minister asking him/her to condemn China’s brutal treatment of Tibetans who attempt to escape.
