Petition for the Release of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche

I am not guilty, please appeal for justice for me….call all people together and do everything possible to help me overturn the verdict”.

Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, revered religious leader and visionary advocate for Tibetans, is serving a life sentence for allegedly “conspiring to cause explosions”; a crime he did not commit. Since his arrest Tenzin Delek has maintained his innocence and no credible evidence has ever been found linking him to this crime.

Now, in a remarkable act of support and bravery, 40,000 Tibetans inside Tibet have signed petitions demanding justice for their leader.

Join with the people of Tibet now and add your ‘thumbprint’ to the petition below to help free Tenzin Delek Rinpoche.

The petition is to Zhou Yongkang (pictured right), Party Secretary in Sichuan Province when Tenzin Delek Rinpoche was detained and currently one of the highest ranking members of the Chinese Communist Party with authority for overseeing implementation of the law throughout the People’s Republic of China.
