TIBETANS LAUNCH HISTORIC MOVEMENT AHEAD OF BEIJING OLYMPICS

Global Uprising to Include Exiles' March to Tibet

New Delhi -- Five leading Tibetan organizations announced today the launch of the "Tibetan People's Uprising Movement", a new coordinated Tibetan resistance effort in the lead up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The Games will take place only months before the 50th anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan National Uprising against China's invasion of Tibet. The movement's organizers are calling on Tibetans worldwide to join protests during the Beijing Olympics and support a return march of exile Tibetans to their homeland.

"Today, in the spirit of the 1959 Uprising and in memory of the courageous Tibetans who sacrificed their lives for Tibet's independence and continue to resist China's brutal occupation, we are launching a unified movement to bring about an end to Chinese rule in Tibet," said Tsewang Rigzin, President of Tibetan Youth Congress.




The organizing committee that China's leadership is using the Beijing Olympics as a platform to gain international acceptance and to legitimize its illegal rule in Tibet. After almost five decades of oppression and cultural assimilation, the situation inside Chinese occupied Tibet is dire.

"We are calling on Tibetans worldwide to join us at this critical moment when China is trying to spread its Olympics propaganda," said B. Tsering, President of the Tibetan Women's Association. "Together, we will seize this unprecedented opportunity to voice Tibetan resistance and reinvigorate our freedom struggle."

The march to Tibet is an initiative by exile Tibetans to strengthen Tibetan resistance by taking the struggle home. The march will commence on March 10th, the 49th commemoration of the Tibetan National Uprising in Tibet. Tibetans worldwide will engage in non-violent direct actions and mass protests during China's Olympic torch relay and the Games themselves.

"Our message to China's leadership is loud and clear that after fifty years, Tibetans in exile are determined to return to our homeland and be reunited with our Tibetan brothers and sisters," said Ngawang Woeber, President of the Gu Chu Sum, the ex-political prisoners' association.

Members of the organizing committee: Tibetan Youth Congress, Tibetan Women's Association, Gu Chu Sum Movement of Tibet, National Democratic Party of Tibet, and Students for a Free Tibet, India.

Breaking News: Two weeks ago, the Tibetan leader was arrested for driving while intoxicated, though his lawyer maintained his client's high spirits were due solely to a "very satisfying night of meditation." When an officer asked where he was born, he responded, "In 1936 in Chija Nangso, Tibet ... and also in 1876 in Lhasa, Tibet, ... and also in Nai-tung, Tibet, ..." before being gagged and taken away.

Amnesty International is nothing but a proxy for western governments to demonize any country that doesn't fall in line with western imperialism. Why don't we hear much from AI about what's happening in iraq, palestine, afghanistan??? So long as the tibetan exiles and the dalai lama serve their purpose and create trouble and instability for china their crimes will be covered up! Nuff said. Fuck you asshole, you fucking propagandist loser sheep. THINK for yourself!

If it was a vote for the CCP, who although imperfect has lifted 400+ millions out of poverty and turned china from a big malawi into a vibrant world power giving hope for the future to its citizens vs tibetan serfdom theocracy run by monks who can't seem to do shit for the tibetan exiles in dharamsala living even poorer than the indians.... I think the answer to that is obvious and you know it!

[jewishwarrior666]
