Isabel Kelly led Amnesty International's international campaigning on China and Tibet for over ten years.

She researched and reported on human rights in China, Tibet and China's other minority regions for governments, the United Nations, the international media, non-governmental organisations and intergovernmental organisations, businesses and other organisations and Amnesty's international membership. She also worked on projects in Hong Kong and with Tibetan refugee communities in India and Nepal.

Emilie Hunter - Founder of Students for a Free Tibet UK

Emilie Hunter is a graduate of International Law at The School of Oriental and Africal Studies in London.

During her studies Emilie became interested in the limited representation of the Tibetan Cause in the West. She created a group with other students who were interested in 'dramatically expanding' their knowledge of Tibetan History and politics and its location in international affairs after their frustration at the popular polarising of the issues.

From here, several UK students have worked in India alsongside Tibetan NGO's learning how they want their struggle to develop, bringing this knowledge into their advocacy work and academic study.

Seeing the growth of interest in modern Tibet-related studies, and the lack of exchange she now organises 'New Approaces.' a discussion forum offering open multi-disciplinary debate on factors affected by and affecting China's policies in Tibet and hopes to expand accurate information and knowledge of China's regional policies.

New Approaches to Tibet held it's first seminar on the Centenary of the British Mission to Tibet in 1903 at SOAS in September 2004. Their website is currently under construction, but information can be obtained from emiliehunter@yahoo.co.uk
