Tibetans, their supporters, and internet users worldwide are outraged by Yahoo!, Microsoft and Cisco System's decision to join hands with the Chinese Government in its crackdown on freedom of information.

In doing so, these companies are not only helping the Chinese government by censoring politically "sensitive topics", but they are also enabling China's propaganda by returning search results tailored to Beijing's repressive policies and, in some cases, assisting in the unjust arrest and detention of internet activists. Last April, Shi Tao, a 37 year-old journalist and activist, was sentenced to ten years in prison after Yahoo! gave the Chinese authorities his user information.

Under the Chinese totalitarian regime, the Internet is a critical tool for Chinese and Tibetans to improve their political situation. Yahoo!, Microsoft and Cisco have become active partners in the Chinese government's efforts to repress their own citizens along with Tibetans, Uighurs, Falun Gong practitioners, and anyone else standing up to Chinese authorities and demanding human rights and self-determination.

Please speak out against the action of these companies by sending the letter below and forwarding it onto friends and family.
