Take Action: China: Stop the Executions!

Here China is occupying another country, Tibet, and the Tibetan people are peacefully protesting for their freedom.  No country is helping, probably because they are not at “war.”  Interesting how country’s will run to another countries aid when they are fighting and killing each other with all sorts of weapons,  yet Tibetan’s have no machine guns, tanks or personal gear to fight a war.  The Tibetan’s are protesting for their freedom peacefully, though, the Chinese paramilitary police often instigate riots, and rightly so for the Tibetan people, as any one else would do as a human being.

I find the communist party very disturbing for executing people for peacefully protesting, though there was a riot, that riot was instigated by the communist paramilitary police. The communist chines party is at fault, not the Tibetan people.

Take Action: China: Stop the Executions!

China: Stop the Executions!
On April 8th, China sentenced two Tibetans, Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak, to death for their alleged involvement in last year’s protests in Lhasa. Two others, Phuntsok and Kangtsuk, were also sentenced to death but with a two year reprieve, and Dawa Sangpo was sentenced to life imprisonment.

These harsh sentences signal an alarming escalation in the Chinese government’s campaign to punish and intimidate Tibetans who dare to speak out against Chinese rule.

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]

Man’s Best Friend the Dog gets a Reprieve for the Olympics

What’s on your menu?

No Dog Meat menu’s while China tries to clean up during the Olympics. It also seems like there will be more “police” and military in Beijing than there will be Olympic visitors, with many places off limits.

Every one will be scrutinized because China expects alleged terrorist activities.

Why? Why does China expect all these problems? Always ask why, because behind that there is an answer.

Man’s Best Friend the Dog gets a Reprieve for the Olympics
Dog is off the menu, model planes are grounded and post-office patrons must show identification before mailing a letter. Welcome to Beijing three weeks before the Olympics.

China’s game-ready capital went live yesterday, with double the security screenings at airports, new traffic rules and a ban on “flying objects” as the government seeks to ensure that nothing — from gridlock to a terrorist attack — spoils the country’s coming-out party.

Indictment Sudan’s President Omar Al Bashir for Genocide

It’s about time somebody goes after these killers! How can the world community just sit around and watch the others continue their killing, torture, cultural genocide of people in the name of their so called progress. Progress isn’t about killing and genocide. Progress is about respecting every one and every thing, but learning as you move on with every individual having freedom and doing no harm.

The International People need to press for the capture of more criminals like these.

On Monday, the International Criminal Court indicted Sudan’s President Omar Al Bashir for genocide. He is charged with killing hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan and its Darfur region, and corralling the surviving women and girls into terrifying camps where they are being quietly and systematically raped until their peoples are destroyed.

In response, Al Bashir’s regime is threatening more terror against Darfurians and the UN, and appealing to powerful international friends who buy oil from and sell weapons to Sudan to give him protection. Al Bashir knows that he will be caught only if other governments, especially Arab and African governments, agree to help the International Criminal Court (for example by arresting him when he travels abroad).

Targeting Al Bashir is our best hope to end the terror of Darfur’s rape camps, and take a major step forward for international justice. Many of Sudan’s neighbours are Muslim countries where rape is a scandalous crime – and Al Bashir’s henchmen have killed and raped thousands of Muslim women. To raise awareness of this, Avaaz is launching a large regional ad campaign, urging leaders to help the ICC. Our ads will run in just a few days, and a full page ad in an Egyptian newspaper is just 3000Euros($5000), so we need just 50,000 Euros ($75,000) to get our message across. Click below to help:

Waseda hears Hus upbeat spin

This is interesting because a lot of the posts I see regarding anti-Tibetan poster’s claim that China is a great nation, and I’m not disputing that, I think the Chinese people are great. I don’t appreciate what the government has done to Tibet and the repression of the Tibetan people, and their culture. There’s a great deal of disrespect toward the Tibetan people, of course I have a lot to learn, but basic information is important right now.

It’s nice to see President Hu express that the country is a developing country with a lot of needed work on it’s infrastructure. I was under a different impression from Chinese posters all over the Internet who were anti-Tibet. It was also a breath of fresh air for him not to pressure Japan about WWII, lets move on and learn from the past.

Most communist country’s that swallowed up land during WWII, and retained other countries from WWI have returned land to the people and their own countries.

Waseda hears Hus upbeat spin
China is still a developing country struggling with grave structural problems and needs stable relations with Japan and other nations to ensure its development, Chinese President Hu Jintao said Thursday in a speech at Waseda University in Tokyo.

“China will never fight for hegemony for good, nor try to expand its territory,” Hu told the Okuma Auditorium audience at Prime Minister Yasuo Fukudas alma mater.

Although he did not mention Tibet in his afternoon speech, more than 100 students and protesters — some carrying Tibetan flags — protested Hus visit on campus, urging China to end its repression of Tibet.

“China is still the worlds largest developing country,” Hu said. “Its population is large, its basis is weak, and its development is unbalanced.”

Negotiation Nightmare!

Seems like China’s offer to talk is nothing more than a shallow offer to talk about the Tibetan issue for the purpose of PR and the Summer Olympics.

It’s the same old story coming from them, and it really is getting tiring. This needs to happen today, not after the Olympics, and Beijing needs to allow foreign security for the Olympics because frankly I wouldn’t trust them with their alleged claims that the Dalai Lama is doing all this.

I see the Chinese Communist Party creating all these problems, not the Dalai Lama or the Tibetan people, and I wouldn’t trust having a seat at the Summer Olympics for fear of my own life, unless the US had security to protect me. It’s a scary place, and I now know how the Tibetan people must feel or the Japanese for being poisoned with tainted gyoza.

NEGOTIATION NIGHTMARE – Jamyang Norbu [read full story]
From the little information we are getting it appears that the Chinese are conducting massive crackdowns and reprisals all over Tibet. First of all it is clear that the trial of the thirty protesters in Lhasa, although a travesty in terms of real justice, is also possibly a red herring. The basic idea of the trial seems to have been to create the impression that not many people have been arrested in Tibet.

In reality thousands of Tibetans have been arrested and will probably be tried in secret (or not have a trial at all) and be incarcerated or shot. Woeser in her last Tibet Update reports that “thousands of Tibetans have met with the fate of being killed, being arrested, being tortured to confess, being missing, committing suicide or having mental disorder, and this has brought disasters to countless Tibetan families.”

I have also heard of many hundreds, maybe even a thousand or so men in rural Amdo and Kham hiding out in the mountains, to avoid police and military crackdowns in their districts. There has been the report of a gunfight between Tibetans and Chinese security personnel. A couple of days ago I received an unconfirmed account of two women in a village in Amdo who were harassed beyond endurance by Chinese policemen about religious images in their home. The women stabbed three policemen to death and were themselves subsequently gunned down. In all likelihood it appears that the situation in Tibet will deteriorate further. The situation is deeply troubling especially since there is little or no information on what is actually happening.

No amount of begging, pleading or further negotiating with Beijing will bring any resolution, even a little improvement, to this crisis. I think that Dharamshala has one real option left to deal with this situation. It must act in a way that is bold, dynamic and totally unanticipated by Beijing. The exile government must declare that in light of the sentiments expressed by Tibetan people in the recent protests, and the harshness and implacability of the Chinese government’s response to the expression of their basic human rights, the Tibetan government is compelled to reconsider its Middle Path policy. That the Kashag and the Tibetan parliament will immediately commence joint hearings to review the Middle Path policy and that representatives of Tibetan organizations advocating independence will be invited to offer their testimonies at the proceedings.

To His Holiness I would respectfully suggest that he make a public announcement stating that though he had genuinely and unreservedly supported China’s bid to host the Olympic Games, the lives and welfare of the thousands of Tibetans – victims of China’s crackdown – were far more important than a sporting event (even one as major as the Olympics). That unless China agreed to allow international agencies as the Red Cross, the UN or Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders, and other such organizations, to send their personnel freely throughout Tibet to verify the conditions of these people and check on their legal situation, he would be compelled to appeal to the world to boycott the Beijing Games. Furthermore he would call on all his subjects, his friends, supporters and disciples worldwide, to engage in non-violent but direct action to disrupt China’s massive ultra-nationalist propaganda exercise, for which the 2008 Olympic Games is being effectively employed.

Real negotiations might follow, for the first time.

The Global Greens Passed a Resolution Supporting Tibet

It would be a simple task for China to allow independent international inquiry into the situation of Tibet, and even other issues claimed by other refugees of China. It is an international issue because China created the problem of refugees, not just Tibetan refugees, but Chinese refugees who have fled China. Refugees are a testament to the problems taking place, and that is an international issue.

It would be a simple task for them to allow an inquiry, but they continue to hide these issues from the rest of the world and hiding only deepens the problem and creates a black cloud.

The Global Greens Passed a Resolution Supporting Tibet
The Global Greens resolution on Tibet, sponsored by German, French and Taiwanese Green Parties, calls for an independent international inquiry into the tragic events in Tibet and urges the Chinese authorities to grant foreign reporters full access to Tibet and the bordering regions.

While regretting that the past six rounds of talks between the Beijing and Dharamsala remained inconclusive, the resolution supported His Holiness the Dalai Lamas call for a resumption of serious negotiations between the two sides with a view of achieving a full and genuine political, cultural and spiritual autonomy for Tibet within China.

The resolution also welcomed the Beijings recent announcement of its willingness to resume a dialogue with the representatives of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and stressed “the need for a real talk between both sides to enter into a substantive and constructive dialogue with a view to reach a sustainable solution acceptable to all that would fully respect Tibetan culture, religion and identity”.

The resolution also called on the Chinese authorities “to invite the Dalai Lama to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games as a sign of goodwill”.

Torch relay worsens China crackdown: Uighur leader

Instead of moving forward China appears to be moving backward. You would think that China should be against colonialism and the oppression of people on that land, but instead they continue the practice by shoving it in our faces with this torch relay.

I no longer trust nor believe anything coming from the mouths of the Communist Party. I’m sure they will say anything to gain approval from the world community, as well as act on those claims themselves dressed as the alleged perpetrators. The communist party has already masquerade as Tibetans and Monks, so why not Uighur’s?

Torch relay worsens China crackdown: Uighur leader
“Everywhere, homes, hotels are searched. People are arrested,” Dolkun Isa, secretary general of the Munich-based World Uighur Congress, told AFP in Tokyo.

“Even people with no past records have been arrested simply because they look suspicious.”

Kadeer, who spent six years in a Chinese jail from 1999-2005 and now lives in exile in the United States, also repeated her charge that China fabricated recent claims that it broke up Xinjiang-based terror cells targeting the Olympics.

“China is using the occasion to host the 2008 Olympics as an opportunity to further demonise the Uighur peoples legitimate and peaceful struggle and justify its heavy-handed repression in East Turkestan,” she said.

China plans to bring the torch to Xinjiang on June 25-27 as part of a relay through the mainland that began on Sunday in the lead up to the August Olympics.

The torchs international relay route has been marred by protests against Chinas human rights record and crackdown on Tibet.

A Shocking Look Inside Chinese Fur Farms

They are sick!

Why would anyone purchase anything from China? From organ harvesting, fur farms, pesticide tainted gyoza; laogai, forced labor and colonialism should say to the rest of the world enough is enough!

Wake up world!

Gandhi said: “the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

A society with such a long history should be beyond consciousness, and should be able to see and understand what it’s doing wrong, and harming other’s should be the first step to understanding what is wrong.

A Shocking Look Inside Chinese Fur Farms
When undercover investigators made their way onto Chinese fur farms recently, they found that many animals are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal’s leg, the free limbs kick and writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who struggle too hard to allow a clean cut.

When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals’ heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals’ hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera.

A Tibetan died of torture in Phenpo County

The Chinese Communist Party complains about the Tibetan old feudal system, acting as thought the Chinese saved the Tibetan people, yet the Chinese aren’t treating Tibetans any different by fining the family for the alleged crime.

A Tibetan died of torture in Phenpo County
A Tibetan died of torture

According to reliable information received by the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), on 1 April 2008, a Tibetan farmer died after being subject to brutal torture by the Chinese prison guards. The deceased farmer was identified as Dawa, a 31 year-old farmer from Dedrong Village, Jangkha Township, Phenpo Lhundup County, Lhasa City, “TAR”. He was arrested while participating in a peaceful protest in Phenpo County on 15 March 2008.

Multiple sources say that during two weeks of detention in prison, he was subjected to torture by the Chinese prison guards. When it became evident that his health was failing, the Chinese prison authorities quickly released him on 27 March 2008 for medical treatment. At the time of the release, his health was already in a very critical condition. After spending four days in hospital, he died on 1April 2008.

Adding insult to the injury, the Chinese authorities charged the deseased’s family with a fine of 1000 yuan (US $ 125) for causing destruction to public property and bringing damages to economy.
