  • If you are not an expert on human rights in Tibet, please watch just the first 75 seconds of

    Torture in Tibet: A Buddhist Nun Tells Her Story

    watch?v=mhrgb1PHodU

    and know that only 1 nun of 15 survived the chinese prison.

  • Tibetans are subject to arbitrary arrest and detention

    Torture still prevails in Chinese prisons and detention centres

    Enforced disappearances, where a person is taken into custody and the details of their detention are not disclosed, continue to occur.

    The 11-year-old 11th Panchen Lama has been missing since his status was announced in 1995.

    Today, it appears the Chinese are using Tibet as a dumping ground for their, and foreign, nuclear waste.

  • @ eastern2western

    How can you have a regular life when you are living in the largest PRISON in the World ?

    .

    Free Tibetans from SLAVERY in 2011.

  • Why isn't he speaking Chinese not Tibetan?

  • nice documentary, neutral, objective and it is also concentrating on lifes of regular people.

  • @lukebccb

    Some Tibetan monasteries have been rebuilt but not many.

  • @nzgav: OF COURSE YOU fail to mention that it was Red Guards that destroyed the tibetan monasteries during the Cultural Revolution AND the Red Guards also destroyed Han cultural and religious artifacts and structures ALL OVER CHINA.

    YOU also fail to mention that the destroyed tibetan monasteries have almost all been restored since the 1980s.

    But hey what's the truth after all when YOU're trying to push your point of view....... guess FACTS get in the way eh?

  • All of sudden they were all gone (3:14 minutes)

    watch?v=FKq7HBMvlJM

    has pictures

    @ 0:05 Bricks with no mortar on them

    and

    @ 2:58 very skinny joke reinforcing that bends easily

    from the schools that fell down in the 2008 earthquake, which show what happens when there is NO free media or freedom of speech.

    The communist party doesn't want people and organizations speaking out about what really happens in Tibet, East Turkestan or China. So the communist party tries to stop people speaking out.

  • Freedom is the enemy of the state.

  • Live in Tibet and China will be much better when the communist party is gone.

    Tibet and China will be FREE

  • The communist party split Tibet so the communist party are the splittists.
