The reality of Tibet Unfolds
I use to listen the Tibet china matter in reference with Tibetans protest to stop Olympics in China but recently so many questions pops into my mind when i went to mussoorie and finds a Indefinite relay hunger strike by Tibetans. There were lots of facts and images with which i get to know about heart rending facts. It really opened my eyes and i bet after reading this full article you will also realise the pain of Tibet.
This indefinite relay hunger strike by Tibetans in mussorie has been organized to express solidarity and support to the recent Tibetan Freedom Movements in Tibet. It was condemn in strongest term the Chinese security agencies use the brute force on the peaceful Tibetan demonstrators killing over 100 innocents Tibetans.
BURNING FACTS ON TIBET
- On Monday,March 10,the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising Day,15 monks and 2 laymen staged peaceful pro-Tibet demonstration in Barkor area in Lhasa.Currently there has been no information on the monks whereabouts or their condition.
- The flame of freedom thereon spread and monks from Drepung monastery, Lutsang monastery in Amdo and Myera monastery in the neighboring province of Gansu defied authorities by staging a rare march into the streets protesting and shouting slogans for the exiled spiritual leader,the DALAI LAMA, to return.These protests have spread from Lhasa to all over Tibet both in intensity and scale.
- The Chinese armed police answered the peaceful protestors with gun fire, batons and curfew.Confirmed reports say that over 100 Tibetans have been killed while several hundred injured.Chinese state news agency Xinhua puts the number to 10.China set a surrender deadline for peaceful protestors and the government offered rewards and protection for informers.
- Lhasa, the capatial city, is reeling under extremely tense situation at the moment since the demonstrations.The Chinese authorities have imposed curfew in the entire Lhasa city with entry into city completely cut-off by posting many new check posts at all the entry points into City.All the roads and shops remains closed in the city with heavy presence of armored milatory vehicles and additional contingent of People’s Armed Police (PAP).
- Hundreds of Tibetans are arbitrarily arrested in the ongoing house-by-house raid Chinese security force in Lhasa beginning from 15 March 2008.All former political prisoners have already been rounded off and thrown into prison by security forces.
- Decades of repression in Tibet and closure of monasteries and violent blockage of peaceful demonstrators by the Chinese authorities have led to the current tension in Tibet.
FEAR AND APPEAL
- Tibet wants to express their deepest fear and anxiety that hundreds of Tibetans will tremendously suffer without being noticed for standing up and expressing their opinion in Tibet.
- They appeal to the High Commissioner for Human Rights to urgently send UN fact finding mission to Tibet for the first hand assessment of the situation.
- They appeal to the International Olympics Committee to start the summer games in China only after the facts on the killing of Tibetans is made known to the world.
- They appeal to the international community and all indians to continue their support for the truth and justice.

Your “reality of Tibet” are all apparently gleaned from western news. Have you actually tried reading news that provide a more neutral or pro-China point-of-view? You might be surprised by the controversial news surrounding the Dalai Lama and his clique of monks.
