h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

New Year and good resolutions fast approach. Here's one you can do, won't take long, and may actually help.

In 2004, Ireland has the Presidency of the EU for the first six months. In February, senior Chinese officials come to Dublin for the EU-China Human Rights Dialogue ( which has made no significant difference to the plight of Tibetans, not to mention Uighurs, Chinese Falun Gong followers, "free" trade unionists, "free" journalists, unapproved Christian churches, environmental activists, advocates of democracy, etc.) under Chinese rule.

What You Can Do Now For Tibet :

Send a card to Mr. Bertie Ahern, TD, the Irish PM ( Taoiseach )
saying,

Dear Mr. Ahern,

Please implement the request made by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, on behalf of his six million Tibetan family, that the EU appoints a Special Representative for Tibet.


Best wishes
(NAME)
(POSTAL ADDRESS)


Address and post the envelope to:

Mr. Bertie Ahern TD
St Luke's
Drumcondra
Dublin 9
Ireland

NB. Bertie Ahern has been quite supportive of Tibet, but all the EU countries tend to hide behind each other, rather than rock the boat, or upset China.

Right its written and printed. I'll drop it into the post later today.

Nice one Chai!

Blessings,

Done.
