Free Tibet!!!

Peaceful Tibetan's have a long history of suffering in the hands of communist China.  

Chinese government has invaded Tibet,  arrested and tortured Tibetans, demolished over six thousand monasteries, committed genocide and colonial subjugation, transferred population...making tibetans a minority in their own land......

Millions of Tibetans, including His Holiness The Dalai Lama, have been forced to run away from their own country to find refuge in india.  

Tibetans who resist giving up their religion and culture are still being imprisoned and killed to this day...

With all of the crimes committed against Tibet, China continues to deny any wrongdoing...

China continues to violate human rights and inflict suffering upon the people who long for freedom...

.... And the world continues to not give enough attention and voice to this issue.... It's absolutely ridiculous!!!

Here is a Blog written by Darren I need to share:

"I am appalled at the response of the West on the Tibetan crisis.  In fact the response of the West to China is similar to there response to Nazi Germany although China has committed far worse crimes!  How can any civilized nation condone the genocide, forced abortions and countless human rights abuses that China continues to inflict on its minorities?  Where are the emergency UN Security Council resolutions?  Where are the boycotts of the Olympic Games?  Does economic trade and foreign relations with China count more than the lives of fellow human beings? Tibet has and always will be an independent nation.  The spirit of the Tibetan people cannot be broken by the brute force of an invader nation!  Sadly, the Tibetan nation cannot count of the West, it's fight does not bring oil or other spoils,  this is the shame of those who continue to remain silent their greed is exposed!  Long live Tibet, Long live the Dalai lama!"

Quotes:

"Whether the Chinese government admits it or not, there is a problem.  The problem is a nation with ancient cultural heritage is actually facing serious danger. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place." By His Holiness The Dalai Lama

"The horrific blood bath in Lhasa and other places in Tibet which the Chinese Security Forces perpetrated against the peace-loving people of Tibet is another stark reminder to the world community that the brutal Chinese regime should not be welcomed into the family of nations as a respected member without serious preconditions," By Nobel Prize Nominee, Rebiya Kadee

Here is Senator Barack Obama's statement on this issue:

"I am deeply disturbed by reports of a crackdown and arrests ordered by Chinese authorities in the wake of peaceful protests by Tibetan Buddhist monks.  I condemn the use of violence to put down peaceful protests, and call on the Chinese government to respect the basic human rights of the people of Tibet, and account for the whereabouts of the detained Buddhist monks. 

These events come on the 49th anniversary of the exile of the spiritual leader of tibetan Buddhists, the Dalai lama.  They demonstrate the continuing frustration of the Tibetan people at the way in which beijing has ruled Tibet [...]

Tibet should enjoy genuine and meaningful autonomy. [...]

Now is the time to respect the human rights and religious freedom of the people of Tibet."

Thank you Obama!

"Every effort must be made internationally to boycott products from mainland China and athletes internationally should be encouraged not to attend the olympic Games to be held in China..." By Robert Colchester
