Dhondup Wangchen is a Tibetan filmmaker whose documentary “Leaving Fear Behind” revealed the attitudes of Tibetan citizens towards the 2008 Olympic Games held in China. In March 2008 he was arrested for “inciting separatism,” a serious offense in China. He is currently awaiting trial, and has been tortured and refused treatment for his deteriorating health. In addition, his lawyer has been barred from representing him, casting serious doubt over the fairness of the trial.

Freedom of expression is something that we take for granted here in the states, however not everyone is allowed these basic rights. Check out these websites to learn more and get involved:

I’m also making available a high-resolution 18″x24″ image for download. Please use this to print out and distribute your own posters and raise awareness for Dhondup Wangchen and the plight of the Tibetan people. Do me a favor though, play nice and don’t modify the image. I wouldn’t go messing up your hard work. Now that we’re all on the same page, you can download the poster here.

I’ve had a few requests for a ‘Heaven And Earth’ wallpaper. However, since the poster itself can be viewed either side up I couldn’t choose just one perspective. Instead I decided the only fair decision would be to offer both sides. So here you go… Heaven and/or Earth if you so choose.
