SYDNEY—A "Free Tibet" activist group will screen an advertisement urging Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to speak to the Chinese leadership about finding a solution for Tibet during his visit to the Olympics in Beijing.
Political action group Get Up and the Australia Tibet Council have sent Mr Rudd a copy of the ad, which will be aired on the Seven network before and after Friday's opening ceremony, costing tens of thousands of dollars.
It features an Australian-Tibetan woman in traditional dress sitting in a meditation pose, pleading with the prime minister.
"Please, Mr Rudd, do not leave Beijing without speaking out about Tibet," she says.
