In Action: Dolma Choephel Tibetan Hunger Striker
“Talking and doing are two different things,” declares Dolma Choephel, thirty years old, a member of the Tibet Youth Congress, the largest and most active non-governmental organization of Tibetans in exile. “I had been talking so much about the Tibetan issue, I was ready to do something practical.”In that spirit, last spring Choephel and two of her colleagues left their home in the Tibetan exile community of Dharamsala, India, and flew to New York City, where they began a hunger strike in front of the United Nations in midtown Manhattan to protest human rights abuses in Chinese-controlled Tibet.
