Die Briefe soll­ten indi­vi­du­ell for­miert wer­den. Stich­punkte sind:

- The EU to publi­cly con­demn China’s use of force against unar­med Tibe­tan protesters.

- The EU to con­vey to China in the stron­gest terms that it must halt its vio­lent crack­down imme­dia­tely and with­draw mili­tary and secu­rity forces from areas of pro­test. All Tibe­tans that have been detai­ned should be released, and those inju­red be able to obtain medi­cal help wit­hout fear of arrest. Call on China to cease all actions and poli­cies that are con­tri­bu­ting to the ten­si­ons, unrest and self-immolations in Tibet; to allow peace­ful pro­test and to respond posi­tively to the calls of Tibe­tans for free­dom and the return of the Dalai Lama.

- EU to urgently seek to send diplo­mats to affec­ted Tibe­tan areas, and demand from China assuran­ces that for­eign jour­na­lists will be allo­wed unfet­te­red access to the Tibet Auto­no­mous Region (inclu­ding during the clo­sure of the TAR from late Febru­ary to mid-March) and Tibe­tan areas of Sichuan, Qing­hai, Gansu and Yunnan.

- EU to vigo­rously pur­sue actions in appro­priate inter­na­tio­nal forums that will focus the atten­tion of the govern­ment of the People’s Repu­blic of China on the seve­rity of the situa­tion in Tibet.
