Canada's Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is set to lead a high profile trade mission to China from August 8-14th. In an effort to improve trade relations with the Chinese government, Flaherty will be joined by the heads of Canada's banking industry.

Flaherty's trip comes as Tibetan filmmaker, Dhondup Wangchen, awaits trial on severe charges in a Chinese court in Xining (Qinghai Province). Dhondup Wangchen is being persecuted for making the film, Leaving Fear Behind, which documents the views of ordinary Tibetans in Tibet. His lawyer has been barred from representing him, casting serious doubt over the fairness of his trial, and the legitimacy of China's judicial system.

Please TAKE ACTION by sending a letter urging Minister Flaherty to raise Dhondup Wangchen's case during his trip to China.

TAKE ACTION NOW!
