Since Chinese troops marched into Tibet in 1949, China has denied Tibetans self-determination and treated Tibet like a colony run by Chinese Communist officials. Hundreds of thousands of Tibetans have died as a direct result of China's occupation in the past 60 years—from starvation, torture and execution. Conditions are so grave that every year as many as 3,500 risk their lives to flee their homeland through the dangerous Himalayan mountains.

The International Campaign for Tibet has a 20-year record of achievement championing the Tibetan cause—and the vision and leadership of the Dalai Lama—in the halls of Congress and in international forums. We strive to mobilize international goodwill in support of the Tibetan people. Our focus today is centered on working with governments to demonstrate meaningful support for Tibet, reaching out to Chinese all over the world, and monitoring conditions inside Tibet.

Our 2009 Action Agenda is ambitious—and critical for the future of Tibet. With your help, we will concentrate on these key points this year:

• Increasing support in Congress for Tibetans inside Tibet and in exile, including humanitarian assistance for Tibetans fleeing persecution by the Chinese government;

• Creating focus and a sense of urgency in the new Obama Administration for pressing an action agenda that helps secure the end of human rights abuses in Tibet and effectively supports a negotiated solution for Tibet;

• Continuing to build a massive base of understanding and support for Tibet by educating the public, national and international leaders;

• Gathering information, conducting the intensive research and exposing the real situation in Tibet to build a massive base of understanding and support for Tibet in the media and within our communities; and

• Most importantly, exploring every avenue of influence to secure the release of Tibetan political prisoners.

With your help, we can counter the brutality and injustice of Beijing, and fight not just for the Tibet of today—but for the potential of a strong Tibet tomorrow.

(By Bertil Lintner, one of many blacklisted journalists who have not been allowed to enter Burma since 1989)

Aung San Suu Kyi has been likened to Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and even Mahatma Gandhi, whose philosophy of nonviolence she has espoused.

Some have called her the Joan of Arc of Burma and, to the Burmese public at large, she is a female Bodhisattva, a heroine like the mythical goddess of the earth who will free them from the enslavement of their evil military captors.

Often referred to simply as "the Lady", a cult has grown around Aung San Suu Kyi and, despite her incarceration, she remains a symbol of defiance and moral strength. As such she has attracted sympathy and support not only inside her country, but from across the world.

In May 1990, when the ruling military allowed free and fair elections, her party, the National League for Democracy, captured 392 out of 485 seats in the National Assembly. But it was never convened. Instead the victors of the election were hunted down and many perished in Burma's notorious jails. Today, Burma has more than 2,000 political prisoners, mostly pro-democracy activists and followers of Aung San Suu Kyi.

But who is this 64-year-old saint-like figure who has spent 14 of the past 20 years in prison?

She was virtually unknown until 1988, when she returned to Burma from her home in England to nurse her sick mother. She arrived at a time when the country was in the midst of political upheaval. Student protests had led to the most serious threat to the iron-fisted rule of the strongman at the time, General Ne Win, who had overthrown Burma's democratically-elected government in March 1962.

On 26 August 1988, at her first public speech outside the Shweagon Pagoda in the then capital Rangoon, Aung San Suu Kyi told the cheering half a million strong crowd: "The present crisis is the concern of the entire nation. I could not, as my father's daughter, remain indifferent to all that was going on. This national crisis could, in fact, be called the second struggle for independence".

Most of the people who had come to see her speak had probably done so out of curiosity. But during her speech, she won the hearts of her audience. She emerged as the leading voice for an opposition that demanded the restoration of democracy in the country. "We were all surprised," a participant in the public meeting said much later. "Not only did she look like her father, she spoke like him as well: short, concise and right to the point."

After Aung San was assassinated, his wife Khin Kyi became one of Burma's most outstanding public figures in her own right. In 1960, she was appointed Burma's ambassador to New Delhi, the first Burmese woman to be given an ambassadorial post. Her oldest son, Aung San Lin, tragically drowned in a pond in the family compound in Rangoon while the other, Aung San Oo, went to England to study engineering, and never returned to Asia except on occasional visits. He later settled in San Diego, California.

Their only daughter, 15-year-old Suu Kyi went with her mother to New Delhi. It was during these teenage years in India that she acquired her lasting admiration for the principles of nonviolence embodied in the life and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi.

She left for Britain in 1964 to further her studies at St. Hugh's college in Oxford, earning a BA in philosophy, politics and economics. Between 1967 and 1971 she held various posts at the UN Secretariat in New York before marrying Michael Aris in 1972.

Her time in the US coincided with the height of the Vietnam war and the upheavals that followed the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. Her main intellectual inspiration during this time came from the civil rights movement. In Martin Luther King's speeches she found similarities with the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi.
