written by Veracity , August 01, 2008 It is time for international intervention on the Tibet issue. Politicians, form every country, and for five decades, have rung their hands in public over the atrocity of the illegal Chinese occupation, but never shown the least bit if courage to make a tangible impact. Time is fast running out for Tibet under the perverse policies of the occupying Chinese. Now time has come for righteous politicians from the so called civilized nations to bring this issue to the UN, and as a first step force China to accept at least some semblance of accepted international human rights standards, all of which they’re signatories to. Every self respecting nation should immediately: •Declare Tibet an occupied nation. •Recognize the Tibetan Government in exile. •Force China to cease its illegal occupation through intense, coordinated international pressure. •Postulate the issue before the UN and bring about resolutions to the same effect. The Dalai Lama’s good intentions are being exploited to the full by the CCP and made a mockery of, by resorting to puerile berating of his HH and questioning his legitimacy. The legitimacy question is China’s alone. This anachronistic, colonial and thoroughly racist empire is doomed to failure; they rose by, and just manage to hold onto power at the barrel of the gun. Remove the gun, and with it evaporates their raison d'être, and their perceived ‘legitimacy’ arising from it. Free Tibet now. http://one-just-world.blogspot.com/2008/07/letter-to-hu-jintao.html Write comment

Gedun Gyatso, a 27-year-old Buddhist monk, was so devoted to the Dalai Lama that when he was in prison he put a picture of him next to his pillow in open defiance of his jailers. The gesture by Gyatso placed another month of incarceration on top of his three years he had already served for his political activity.
