Rinchen Kyi, a Tibetan teacher, needs your help!

On 1st August, Rinchen Kyi, a teacher from eastern Tibet, was taken from her home and arrested by Chinese authorities. With no recognisable crime, the only assumption can be that she was arrested for teaching at a Tibetan language school.

Following her arrest, Rinchen Kyi was taken to Xining, then transferred to an undisclosed location two days later. She has now disappeared.

Rinchen’s husband and 13-year-old daughter have not been told where she is being held. They have not been told when she is coming back. They have not been given any updates on her current health.

Free Tibet demands Rinchen Kyi's immediate and unconditional release

We are calling on you, our supporters, to email authorities in Qinghai Province and your local Chinese embassy with this demand.

Stand up for Rinchen

Previous successes show that numbers matter. Every email sent increases the pressure on Chinese authorities and is another step closer to the release of a political prisoner. Please spare just two minutes today to stand up for Rinchen and her family.

Your support makes a real difference to the lives of political prisoners in Tibet. International pressure can lead to the release of prisoners, improved conditions and gives political prisoners strength.

We will not rest until Rinchen Kyi returns safely home to be with her family. Join us in demanding her immediate release.
