There is no freedom of speech, religion or press in Tibet. The Dalai Lama, Tibet's political and spiritual leader, now lives in exile in India.
Erik Goodman, Beavercreek, Ohio, sophomore and member of Students for a Free Tibet, said the group contacted SUA after hearing about the movie. Goodman and two other students started the organization in September.
Students for a Free Tibet is a national organization that works in conjunction with
the Milarepa Fund, which is based in San Francisco. There are more than 300 groups in the nation.
The KU chapter has 12 members and meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas Union.
Goodman said the group produced filers and had sponsored a letter-writing campaign to President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. The letters addressed the disappearance of 6-year-old Panchen Lama, who is considered the second most important religious figure in Tibet.
