Komodo has been working with the same factories in Nepal since the early 1980′s, and we are passionate about our involvement with the Free Tibet campaign.
Komodo have collaborated with Free Tibet on a number of projects including the ‘Free Tibet’ sneaker.
We are committed to increasing the UK’s awareness of what is happening in Nepal.
For those of you who don’t know what’s going on …
In Nepal, the Tibetan community, half of whom hold Nepali citizenship and half of whom are very long term refugees are being subjected to night time house to house raids and searches, random arrests, kettled in their districts and prevented from moving freely in the city, prevented from voting, demonstrating and flying their flag. Their leaders are detained to avoid them meeting foreign diplomats, and the refugees, indeed anyone of them without perfect paperwork ( even if they lived here all their lives ) are threatened with deportation to a chinese labour camp.
The few who do manage to escape the trauma of occupied Tibet over the himalayas to seek sanctuary in Nepal are hunted down and returned to the Communist guards for a financial kick back!
So, how does this tally with the Chinese governments mantra that one nation should not ‘ interfere in the Internal affairs of another’?
