Delhi, January 25: With the session currently ongoing in the Indian Parliament, Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) - India initiated a lobby campaign since early March urging the Indian Parliamentarians to Stand Up for Tibet by highlighting the ongoing crises in Tibet at the Parliament and ask the Foreign Minister Mr. S M Krishna to make a public statement condemning China’s crackdown in Tibet.

The lobbying comes at a time when the President of China, Hu Jintao, will be attending the fourth BRICS summit in Delhi on 28th March, where many presume it will be his last visit to India before he steps down as the party head this October/November 2012.

Since February 2009, Tibet has now witnessed 30 cases of self-immolation with Sonam Dhargye, a 43 year old Tibetan farmer, from Rebkong (Chinese: Tongren) County of Malho (Chinese: Huangnan) Prefecture, Qinghai, being the latest Tibetan to set himself on fire on 17 March, 2012.
