Background:

On Tuesday, May 30th, Bombardier will hold its annual general meeting in Montreal. The Board of Directors, senior management and shareholders of Bombardier – as well as the media – will attend this important meeting. This is a key opportunity for Tibetans and Tibet supporters to show their concern about Bombardier’s involvement in the controversial Tibet Railway project.

Bombardier – have partnered with Power Corporation of Canada and the Government of China to manufacture railway cars for this project. Many Tibetans fear that this first railway to link mainland China with occupied Tibet represents the final phase in the cultural genocide of the Tibetan people.

The rally will also provide an opportunity to show support for a shareholder’s resolution by the Corporation des Syndics Apostoliques des frères mineurs ou Franciscains that asks Bombardier “to draft and adopt a human rights policy and to produce an independent report on the progress made in this regard by November 2006.
