*[Enwl-eng] The Dalai Lama is now protected by the US. Europe must step up, too.

[ENWL]

            Tibetans' lives and religion are being ripped from them. Tell the EU to join the US in protecting Tibet!

                  Just as the U.S. Congress was getting ready to vote on its much-needed economic stimulus package that provides financial relief to struggling Americans, it added an unexpected and incredible addendum: life-saving provisions to protect the tortured and massacred Tibetan people, as well as their peaceful religious and political leader, the Dalai Lama. While U.S. law has traditionally been relatively silent on this topic, the Tibetan people have spent decades suffering as the Chinese government drove their leader into exile, kidnapped and "disappeared" many of his associates, and continues to imprison and murder their people. Finally, the U.S. is standing up for international human rights and freedom of religion by standing up for Tibet. 

                  This long-overdue step states that the U.S. will implement economic sanctions on top Chinese Communist Party leaders if the Chinese government tries to name its own Dalai Lama in order to control Tibetans even further. It also prohibits China from establishing any new consulates on U.S. soil until the U.S. is allowed to establish its own consulate in the capital of Tibet, Lhasa. These are awe-inspiring steps — but it shouldn't end here. Every single day, the Tibetan people continue to be brutalized. Some experts estimate that approximately 1.2 million Tibetan people have been murdered in a state-sponsored mass genocide. It's time for the European Union to follow the U.S.'s lead. Tell the European Parliament to pass a law stating that they will sanction the Chinese government if it interferes in the naming of the Dalai Lama's successor! 

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Tibetan monks, nuns, and civilians alike have been subjected to torture, imprisonment, and murder. Tell the European Union to protect the Dalai Lama and his followers now!
