Background
Worldwide interest in Tibet has been high since large-scale protests for independence broke out in the Tibetan capital Lhasa in March 2008, sparking a huge show of international support that erupted around China’s staging of the Olympic Games torch relay.

The Tibet Action Group of Western Australia Inc (TAGWA) was formed as a result of the overwhelming show of sympathy for Tibetan freedom in the West Australian community.

TAGWA’s Mission Statement
The TAGWA wants to be the voice for the oppressed people in Tibet with the aim of raising awareness about the real situation in Tibet and to gain support from the general public and politicians in Western Australia for the Tibetan people’s non-violent struggle for freedom.
