Demands: We request the Indian government to allow the March to Tibet to
continue unabated. In light of the critical situation inside Tibet, where
China is preparing its 'people's war' against unarmed Tibetans, we also
call on the Indian government to put pressure on the Chinese government to
abstain from using force in Tibet and immediately and unconditionally
release Tibetan prisoners of conscience and solve the Tibet issue through
peaceful means.
