Tibet Genocide
The recent protests mark the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising of 1959 when anti-Chinese and anti-communist demonstrations erupted on the streets of Lhasa,
Lhasa's three major monasteries - the Sera, Drepung and Ganden, were seriously damaged by shelling. The Dalai Lama was forced to flee into exile and the Tibetan government-in-exile estimates that 86,000 Tibetans died.
Less than a decade later, Mao's Cultural Revolution wrought havoc in the region and the Red Guards destroyed more than 6,000 monasteries and convents - just a handful survived.
Along with the buildings, hundreds and thousands of priceless and irreplaceable statues, tapestries and manuscripts were destroyed.
"At that time all the monasteries were destroyed. The whole country was changing during the revolution. The wave of change was unstoppable," says Dondrup, a 77-year-old monk at the Pel Kor Monastery in Gyantse.
They only worry about their slaves.

Stupid theocratic scumbags. I always wonder whether they can represent the Tibetan people or not. I dont like Chinese Gov. but I like Chinese people and I think if somewhere really needs to be free it should be Iraq! GoGo Beijing.

象德国总理勃兰特70年代在华沙犹太人墓前下跪一样,有一天,中国的元首也应当将达赖喇嘛请回布达拉宫,并向他及西藏人民下跪请求原谅。
