Support H.Res.584 for Tenzin Delek Rinpoche

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

I am writing to ask you to co-sponsor House Resolution 584 introduced by Representative Michael Capuano (D-MA). H.Res 584 was introduced in response to the death in Chinese custody of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, a revered Tibetan Buddhist leader and humanitarian who was wrongly imprisoned. His case is representative of the persecution of Tibetans under Chinese rule and necessitates a strong response from free countries around the world.

H.Res. 584:

(1) urges the President--

(A) to seek an inquiry into the death of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, to be carried out by an independent team of experts; and

(B) each time the President meets with Chinese officials, to publicly call for an end to the repressive policies used by the People's Republic of China in Tibet;

(2) urges the People's Republic of China to immediately halt suppression of the religious, cultural, social, economic, and environmental rights of the Tibetan people in Tenzin Delek Rinpoche's home regions of Lithang and Nyagchu and across all areas of traditional Tibet; and

(3) affirms that violations of human rights in general, and the persecution of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, his family, and his supporters, specifically, are matters of legitimate concern to all governments committed to the rule of law and to free people worldwide.

H.Res. 584 will put pressure on China to end its repressive policies employed on the Tibetan people. Countless Tibetans remain in Chinese prisons today facing the type of torture and mistreatment that led to the death of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche.

China's atrocities have gone largely unchecked, with little to no accountability. This resolution will shine a spotlight on Tenzin Delek Rinpoche's torture and death and strengthen the case for freedom for the countless Tibetans currently in Chinese prisons.

I ask you to please support H.Res. 584 today. Thank you.

Thank you,
