***Before you Comment***

Here's the REAL TRUTH of Tibet. Study history, not the media.

It's not a reputable historian, just a documentary maker PR hack for CCP. Listen to him. If you've read any credible Tibetan history (Goldstein, Shakya), you'll know exactly what he's doing. And making money at it, obviously.

A lot of this is based on Parenti's crap, mixed with classic CCP-twisted history books. Go here for a scholarly rebuttal of a lot of this junk:

Go ahead, I know you can do it.

These monks will now be beaten, imprisoned, and tortured.

They knew what would happen to them before they spoke out.

The courage of some people is amazing!

Why does China keep on calling Tibet an Internal Matter? When it has been established that Tibet was an independent nation, falling outside the Great Wall of China, then Tibet is a FOREIGN COUNTRY and NOT AN INTERNAL MATTER of China.

Can the US, by the same token, say that Iraq and Afghanistan are US's internal matters now because the US has control over their territories? NO. Same way, China cannot just capture some territory, behead all the inhabitants there and call it an INTERNAL MATTER.

if china ever loses tibet, the citizens would abolish the communist party.

[tadorjee]

China is communist and communist leaders are pig headed creature,untill U fuck them they will never listern to U.

Is that a joke? You? Invade? China?! Pack up and go back to your Europe motherland first.

It's wrong because it's Falun? Keep on proving my point that the CCP is intellectually castrated.

[snigglefritz12345]

Wait until YOUR country is invaded. Then you'll be crying for assistance and US dollars.

[snigglefritz12345]

I've seen it so many times: anyone who doesn't adore the CCP is biased. Convenient word to throw around when there is so much evidence against the ChiComs.

kkay: Look dumb**s, pay attention. Monks of Drepung, Sera and Ganden made processions for four days before the Lhasa youth riots Mar.14. Monks, nuns and laypeople have been making peaceful marches all across eastern Tibet ever since, until today.

At least one "rioter" on Mar. 14 was a policeman. People have reported seeing other security forces ON THAT DAY, changing into Tibetan clothes.

The monks and others shot by Chinese forces,including Apr.3&5 in Sichuan, were NOT violent.

Pay attention!

maybe u r right, but i need to see the real foto to get convinced. otherwise, its simply to easy to make stories.
