FaceJam for Tenzin Delek
January 26th, 2007

On January 26th 2003, twenty-eight year old Lobsang Dhondup was executed by Chinese authorities and Tenzin Delek Rinpoche's death sentence was upheld. Both men were wrongly arrested and convicted for their alleged involvement in a series of unsolved bombings in Eastern Tibet. Following an intense international campaign by Tibetans and supporters, Tenzin Delek's sentence was commuted to life in prison. China wants this innocent Tibetan monk disapear. You can help make sure this doesn't happen.

Join the Tenzin Delek FaceJam: FaceJamming is a form of public activism, similar to culture jamming. By displaying images of Tenzin Delek's image everywhere we are showing popular support for his release and jamming the Chinese government’s message that he is a criminal.

Support the campaign to free Tenzin Delek Rinpoche

Make a donation to Students for a Free Tibet so that we can continue our work for the life and freedom of Tenzin Delek. With your support, we can continue to support the hundreds of SFT chapters around the world, create more materials, stage demonstrations and keep up the pressure until Tenzin Delek is free.

The Chinese government's decision to commute Tenzin Delek's death sentence was a welcome victory for Tibetans and the tens of thousands of people worked to save his life. It is a testament to the power of international grassroots pressure, and shows how effective we are when we take action. However, Tenzin Delek remains a political prisoner and we will not stop until he is free.
