Tibetans Rally 50 Years

My Lord!  It’s about time the US gets some backbone!

The US shouldn’t have to make a resolution in the first place.  The communist China government had promised the world if they got the summer Olympics that they would stop the human rights violations of Tibetan people and the Chinese ethnics.  They also promised to open up more to diverse news agencies, yet everything is blocked right after the Olympic games.   After the Summer games it’s back to the same old stuff, nothing new.  Tibetan’s continue to be oppressed, and families can’t safely visit without their own family’s being threatened or followed.  It’s crazy!

US vows support, Tibetans rally 50 years on

US lawmakers vowed support for Tibet and exiles prayed outside of the White House, launching worldwide rallies 50 years to the day Tuesday of an uprising that forced the Dalai Lama to flee.

As China poured troops into the Himalayan region, Tibetans overseas called demonstrations from Washington to the small Indian town of Dharamshala where the Dalai Lama — now 73 and boasting a global following — lives in exile.

A US lawmaker on Monday introduced a resolution to Congress that would urge China to end its “repression” of the Himalayan region.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime supporter of Tibet, vowed that Congress would “overwhelmingly” approve the bill on the anniversary on Tuesday.

“The situation in Tibet challenges the conscience of the world,” Pelosi told Tibetans and their supporters inside the US Capitol.

“If freedom-loving people do not speak out for human rights in China and Tibet, then we lose the moral authority to talk about it in any other place in the world,” she said to loud applause. [read more]

Tourist Blocked from Tibetan Town

Armed police were stationed throughout the capital of Chinese-controlled Tibet and blocked roads to the eastern part of the region, Hong Kong tourists said Friday, in the latest sign of tensions ahead of next week’s anniversary of anti-government riots.

Paramilitary officers were spotted all over Lhasa and the atmosphere was “tense,” a 33-year-old Hong Kong traveler told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

Tensions have been high in Tibet and Tibetan-inhabited regions in western China in the run-up to several anniversaries this month, including the 50th anniversary of a failed 1959 uprising during which Tibet’s traditional Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama, fled into exile in India.

This month also marks the one-year anniversary of massive anti-government protests that spread across Tibetan areas in China following a deadly riot in Lhasa on March 14. China has said 22 people died in the violence, while Tibetan supporters say many times that number were killed in demonstrations and the subsequent military crackdown. [read on]
